Download all of Wikipedia to your iPhone

All of Wikipedia brings literally all of Wikipedia to your iPhone and iPad for offline reading and browsing.

All of Wikipedia app is developed by Canada based Brilliantish Software, it's gorgeously designed, feature rich, includes a number of design options, is a breeze to use, features a powerful in-text search facility and loads articles extremely fast. Articles are updated whenever you have an Internet connection and similarly, images are downloaded as you read the article only when online. The app also comes available in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, and Dutch.


All of Wikipedia is not free, it will set you back $8.99. After purchasing, you are prompted to download the first data dump over wifi (4GB in English, 2GB for other languages). This takes between 3 and 4 hours. Your initial purchase allows you to download the Wikipedia data dump and then also download it again once after that for free. After that a $1 in app purchase will be required to cover the hosting and transferring of the file, this generally happens once a month.

if you're one to unwittingly find yourself deeply absorbed in random articles on Wikipedia, this app belongs on your home screen. Grab it here (iTunes Link).
