Quickpedia - Navigation Android apps

Quickpedia

FREE

            


Quickpedia was one of the first Wikipedia apps to become popular. The idea is to make it quicker and easier to browse Wikipedia than via the website. The app s clean layout has five tabs; in the first, Search, predictive text will pull up common search terms as you type. Results are organised into subsections with links throughout.
Options let you adjust text size or email the result. The Featured tab offers random articles on a range of subjects, while the Popular tab brings up the most requested. The News tab lacks ways to filter articles relevant to your place and time, but the Nearby tab covers this.

Quickpedia is a good idea and in some ways neatly executed, but we hit too many bugs while using it to make this our favourite way to access Wikipedia on the move.
