  - 1★ 2026-10-05, Viv Blagden: i have never uninstalled an app so fast as I removed this. This is an abomination. Wikipedia web browser version is the best thing on the internet precisely because it is not trying to be this app. I don't want to be profiled! I don't want a curated experience! I want to see what everyone else sees.…
  - 1★ 2026-10-03, ИГРОК МУРИЛЬО: i took off vpn but i still in ban! please unban me
  - 1★ 2026-09-30, Glen: Wikipedia has a history of falsifying information by allowing cartels of bickering animals to be paid by criminals to publish willful lies for cash from organised crime cartels like Pfizer
  - 2★ 2026-09-30, James Miller: It was terrific before the last update. Now, when saving a page to bookmarks, the bookmark selections are no longer in alphabetical order. Boo!
