About XOWA - Wikipedia Offline

The XOWA Android App is the free open-source offline Wikipedia app. Read Wikipedia on your phone or tablet -- anywhere, anytime, anyway.

Features:
- English Wikipedia: Read from over 10 million pages in English Wikipedia. Offline images also available if you have the space. English Wikipedia updated monthly.
- Familiar look: Enjoy the look and feel of the Wikipedia Android App with features like tabbed browsing, table of contents, saved pages, find in page, and more.
- Powerful search: Find pages using any word or letters in the title. Use boolean searches like "earth + (history, future) -middle"
- Other wikis: Want a different wiki? Build one yourself using XOWA's desktop app. Or request one at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/issues
- Full privacy: Use Wikipedia without worries about "phoning home". No background logging; no automatic crash reports.

I use this on my laptop for research and this mobile adaptation doesn't disappoint! Works perfectly. My only gripe is that downloading the English wikipedia is 50 GB, space I don't have on my phone.

Hey! I couldn't import the files, while I went through all steps, what's is wrong here?

AWESOME! x) Never forget to donate to Wiki !! By the way, I was doing an error, I opened it after installation; in some devices, this might associate some hyperlinks of device's paths and it can give some errors if one doesn't' "force stop"(close), then presses "clear data" and moves to "SD storage" when some data has already been created by the app at first launch. But this is common to all software on the planet and should be obvious; negative reviews aren't reliable.

I can go on vacation and read up on the countries' histories on flight. UPDATE: download pauses whenever I switch between applications. is this normal? is there a feature to download continuously in the background?

Currently, the only options are Simple Wikipedia at about 500MB and (Full?) Wikipedia at about 30GB. It would be nice if there were varying complexity options at 5GB, 10GB and 20GB with the greater the size of data, the greater amount of common wikipedia articles.

Requires internet connection to SEARCH - beats the entire purpose of this app. Super buggy, doesn't work after you tried it offline; refuses to start; multiple crashes... reboot the phone, finally I get the option to "start over" which brings me back to the endless problem loop described above.

The whole human knowledge, in this single app. I couldn't ask for more. Too good to be true. I can't understand why some users couldn't follow simple instructions. The app itself is good. I wanted to donate to its developers but don't know how. Please let me. I am too satisfied with your work!
