Review
Quickpedia isn't the only free Android app to access Wikipedia, but its extras make it our favorite. If you're patient, Quickpedia will search for common entries as you type, which saves you some effort. As it pulls in content, it will also import the photos and table of contents of your Wikipedia article. Quickpedia handles space well by collapsing the different chapters so you don't have to scroll through the entire thing. Quickpedia displays articles on featured and popular content, news stories, and entries for noteworthy places nearby. Handily, you can e-mail an article to yourself or to someone else, or go into Settings to enter a non-Gmail e-mail address as your Quickpedia default.
