Wikio for Wikipedia is an application to read articles from Wikipedia for Windows device users with a fairly simple interface and focus on reading article content rather than providing many features.

Wikipedia is a popular online encyclopedia with a huge volume of information and is constantly updated by users. If you are a person who often spend hours reading Wikipedia articles or always selects this page as your information search site, take a look at the application Wikio for Wikipedia - it has only been released about half a month and has received Positive feedback.

This is a Universal App , works on both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile computers, allowing users to browse Wikipedia more quickly and simply than opening a browser. Wikio has a minimalistic interface that is still "sufficient" to perform Wikipedia operations such as navigating and reading articles in the open encyclopedia. Although minimalist, some users also think that is even more beautiful than the official homepage of Wikipedia.

Wikio for Wikipedia is not aimed at many functions but simply provides a quick way to access the encyclopedia and the simplest reading interface. Just open the app, search for articles and read the information you care about. Unfortunately, the search box does not support suggestions when typing keywords nor Light Theme but only Dark Theme. Another small problem is that you cannot log in to your Wikipedia account, so you can only read it as a guest. Users also want to be able to save article content to read offline, but currently Wikio for Wikipedia still does not support this feature.
