Encyclopedia

Encyclopedia provides complete copy of the Wikipedia encyclopedia on your iPhone/iPod - meaning no internet access is required to search and view articles. This app is the fastest and simplest way to browse Wikipedia - and it works in a plane, on top of a mountain, in a tunnel, and in other countries. (Or, if you're an iPod Touch user, whenever you don't have wifi.)

When you first launch Encyclopedia, you will be required to download a copy of the Wikipedia database, which will occupy about 2GB of space on your device.

For frequently asked questions, please head to http://collison.ie/wikipedia-iphone/faq.

FEATURES
- No internet access required
- Complete text of the English Wikipedia*
- Instantaneous search of article titles
- Fully functional links between articles
- Navigation trail, so that you can easily engage in the usual whimsical Wikipedia browsing.
