So much potential, but so frustrating – Wiki Offline — A Wikipedia Experience Review

I really want to like this app, but it has some deal-breakers. First, downloading the English Wikipedia takes an hour or so. That's understandable. It's a lot of data. The problem is that the download failed several times. Whenever the connection died, the app didn't auto-resume. I had to manually start the download again. Second, navigating is tricky. Swiping left/right from the edge doesn't go forward or back. I didn't see any forward/back buttons until I selected text on the page. This is very unintuitive. Long-pressing on these buttons does nothing. The only way to see your history is under the bookmarks menu, and that intersperses history across tabs. Third, the top navbar shows what you last searched for, not the name of the article you're currently viewing. It's odd. If these UI annoyances were fixed, it would be a totally different experience. Until then, I can't really recommend this app. ☹️
