The best free Android apps for back to school
Wikipedia is the official app for Wikipedia, which will allow you to access all the content of one of the largest open sources of information on the Internet that is managed by the user community itself. This is a vast source of information that you can also browse on your Android device.
Its interface is very simple, as you can pretty much only type the word you want and then search it in the database. However, thanks to this extreme simplicity, Wikipedia fulfills its purpose perfectly and is very fast and easy to use. The content you can get on the app is exactly the same as what's available on its website. However, the convenience of browsing from an app is what separates the app from the web version.

It also includes a series of specific features for mobile devices, such as the ability to search for content related to your geographical location or make overlapping queries, that is, being on an entry page and clicking on a link that takes you to another, but instead of loading in a new window, a tab is superimposed with the header. This is perfect for jumping from one article to another without losing your thread.
Wikipedia is a very useful app for any user with questions, as you'll be able to access the world's largest source of information right from your Android, as long as you have access to the Internet. With respect to the latter point, there's also an option to save pages locally on your device so you can read them offline later.

This is a cult application, right? The company legal person is a member of the cult!
I give it 5 stars because the site is good, but there is not much to say about this app, it is a little slow, and in my opinion you should be able to save the pages you want and cannot. But hey. I hop...
