Source-derived summary

A number of organizations within the Wikimedia movement including the Wikimedia Foundation publish official mobile apps for mobile access to Wikipedia. All are available via the appropriate app store (e.g. Google Play, App Store, Microsoft Store, F-Droid). They can also be downloaded independently of any third-party store from the Wikimedia Foundation's releases website, which also keeps old and beta versions.

Official apps

Wikimedia Foundation

Wikipedia apps from the Wikimedia Foundation are called "Wikipedia".

Android

The Android app allows users to read and edit articles directly from the app. It is available on Play Store, Galaxy Store, Aptoide, Cafe Bazaar, F-Droid, and GetJar.

A separate app on the Play Store provides access to beta features that may not be available in the standard Wikipedia app.

In June 2025, a quiz game called Which Came First? was introduced to the app, which allows users to answer five questions regarding which historical event of two given events occurred first.
