All the informative power of the ever-expanding Wikipedia, formatted perfectly for your phone.
Free Bottomless fact resource
Put a world of knowledge at your fingertips with this first-class app, which brings Wikipedia's vast array of reference articles to your mobile - perfectly formatted to fit onto your handset's screen. That makes it perfect for a bit of pub quiz cheating or proving mates wrong about who really did win the 1991 Rumbelows Cup Final. Although, it's important to remember that there's an awful lot of nonsense on Wikipedia.
It supports most of the functions you can perform on a web browser, such as searching for a specific topic, copying text from articles and creating bookmarks and home screen shortcuts to articles.
Just like the full website, Wikidroid features a sparse and uncomplicated layout, most of which
involves black text and blue hyper links on a white background. But it's a look that works, not allowing style to get in the way of all that pure learning goodness, and also helps keep the file size small.
There is, however, a cleverly integrated quick search tool at the top of the screen, and a menu that pops up at the bottom providing quick access to all the features.
You can upgrade to Wikidroid Plus by purchasing a key by splashing out £1.24/$2.This unlocks new features, including the ability to save pages to SD card and gets rid of tie adverts (which aren't actually that intrusive anyway). But even without this there's enough in the free version to make Wikidroid an essential app that deserves a place on everyone's Android phone.
