What is WikiScroll: Scroll & Learn on iPhone?
WikiScroll: Scroll & Learn (App Store subtitle: Discover, Swipe, Learn) is an iPhone app that shows one Wikipedia article per screen: a lead image, the title and a short summary. The Random tab serves endless random articles; the For You tab builds a feed from topics you choose in a Topics sheet, grouped under headings such as Culture, General reference and Geography. Tap See Related Articles on any card to follow a chain of linked articles, then step back with the back buttons.
Beyond the feed, Timeline Mode lists what happened on today's date in past years, with each event linked to its Wikipedia articles, and arrows page to the previous or next date. Like an article to save it, or share it straight from the card. Smart Widgets put a Wikipedia article or a historical event on the Home Screen. For how-to guides and comparisons with other scroll apps, go to wikiscroll.app, the app's official site.
