Download your chosen archive and store it on your device (you can do this within the app). It makes knowledge available to people with limited or no internet access, and provides you with amazing reference tools always at your fingertips wherever you are, or when you just want information *fast*. Kiwix JS gives you completely free *offline* access to content from Wikipedia, Project Gutenberg, TED Talks, Wiktionary, Wikivoyage, Stackexchange, etc., in many different languages. The app is written completely in JavaScript and is a port for the Universal Windows Platform of Kiwix JS originally developed for Firefox OS. We welcome constructive feedback, so please report an issue before leaving negative feedback if you'd like to support the development of this completely free app. You can also contact us using the support contact on this page. Please report bugs to the developers on GitHub: English Wikivoyage is only 807MB (or try our separate app), and English WikiMed is 1.7GB (also available as a separate app).

The file is currently 93 gigabytes and you might want to download it using BitTorrent (torrent link provided in the app).

You *must* get an archive for this app to be useful: it only comes bundled with a small test archive of the top 100 Wikipedia articles so you can get a feel for how the app works. You can download one in the app, or from in your browser, or you can swap archives with friends on a USB stick. If you just want Wikivoyage (Offline Travel Guide) or WikiMed (Medical Wikipedia) in English, we have two sister apps in this Store that come completely pre-packaged (no extra download required): search for 'Wikivoyage by Kiwix' or for 'WikiMed by Kiwix' for further details.
