What users say about Kiwix
From the 50 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users highly value the app's ability to provide offline access to vast knowledge resources like Wikipedia, often citing it as essential for travel or disaster preparedness. However, significant frustration exists regarding technical bugs such as download failures, crashes, and a lack of dark mode support.
Mixed but leaning positive (70% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for its design, and syncing. The main complaints are about crashes and bugs, and being hard to use.
What people like
- Design: “Simple and effective interface”
- Connection & sync: “Made my workflow so easy without internet”
- Useful: “The most useful app of all time”
- Crashes & bugs: “The app just doesn’t work”
Common complaints
- Crashes & bugs: “I’d give it at least another star if this one bug was fixed”
- Ease of use: “Please make it easier to view all downloaded libraries with a single tap”
- Design: “Still no dark mode how hard could it be really!”
