The Wikimedia Foundation publishes official Wikipedia Apps for using Wikipedia on multiple mobile device operating systems, currently: Android (via Google Play), BlackBerry (via BlackBerry World), iOS (via App Store), Firefox OS (via Firefox Marketplace),and Windows 8 (via Windows Store). Independent developers have also released many unofficial apps for reading Wikipedia articles. Some apps load content from the Wikipedia site and process it; other apps use the MediaWiki API.

Official applications

The official Android application from the Wikimedia Foundation is called "Wikipedia". It is free and provides a read-only version of Wikipedia, similar to the mobile web version of Wikipedia. It also allows users to find geotagged articles near their current location, though not a chosen location.

The official iOS application from the Wikimedia Foundation is called "Wikipedia Mobile". It is free and provides a read-only version of Wikipedia,[1] similar to the mobile web version of Wikipedia. It also allows users to find geotagged articles near their current location.

The official Windows application from the Wikimedia Foundation is called "Wikipedia". It is free and provides a read-only version of Wikipedia, similar to the mobile web version of Wikipedia.

Unofficial applications

These apps' primary objective is to display articles. Typical features include searching for articles, bookmarks, sharing, or enlarging images.

The Wiki Loves Monuments app, written for a photo contest, is an aid for Wikiphotographers. It shows a map of nearby national heritage register items, indicating whether Wikipedia has a photo for the site, and enabling quick and easy photo uploads for camera phones. It is not integrated with the official article display app.[11] Wikimedia Foundation also publish an official Wikimedia Commons app.[12]
