I realized I'm using Wikipedia every hour more than I thought! Whenever I get curious about something, I open the app and somehow end up learning about five other things I didn't even know I was interested in. It's also one of my most favorite apps on my phone. It's totally free, extremely informative, and genuinely useful for daily life. For me, this is the best digital encyclopedia on the go.

The app is pretty good as-is but is missing aspects of the web version that are frustrating. I wish I could collapse article sections like in Chrome on mobile. I wish the article started with all sections collapsed, then that would look like the contents area you see on desktop. it would be easier to navigate to what you want. I wish the title of the article was always at the top of the screen. When you first open the app it's not obvious what tab or article you're in without that.

They recently got rid of two **very useful** features for saving articles in collections: (Step 1) To add the article to an existing or new collection, or to add it to *another* one, or to remove it from an existing one; (Step 2) The listing of collections was *alphabetical*. However, now none of these features are present, but only a **non alphabetical** listing of collections, whose order is *presumably* by usage-frequency – although I never saw it bubble up the collections I save to often (!)
