Choose your language: Choose from over 300 languages on Wikipedia
Save articles: Download articles to your device for offline reading
One-handed use: Use the floating action buttons at the bottom for a complete one-handed experience
Lightweight: The app starts instantly, and works smoothly
Material 3 Expressive: Designed according to the latest Material 3 Expressive design guidelines
Smooth animations: Smooth and fluent animations
Customizable colors: Choose from light/dark themes and customize the Material 3 color palette
Customizable font size: Choose your own comfortable font size
Data saver: Save your limited data plan by loading text only
Math expressions: View properly rendered mathematical expressions for easily reading mathematical articles

WhatsNew:

New features:
- New navigation animations

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug that caused the app to crash when trying to delete a saved article

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.

Anti-Features:

TetheredNet (This app is bound to a certain network service):
⇒ The app requires a connection to Wikipedia, which cannot be replaced.

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
