Wikipedia

Wikipedia is the official app for Wikipedia, which will allow you to access all the content of one of the largest open sources of information on the Internet that is managed by the user community itself. This is a vast source of information that you can also browse on your Android device.Its interface is very simple, as you can pretty much only type the word you want and then search it in the database. However, thanks to this extreme simplicity, Wikipedia fulfills its purpose perfectly and is very fast and easy to use. The content you can get on the app is exactly the same as what's available on its website. However, the convenience of browsing from an app is what separates the app from the web version.
