Android edit

You can install the Kiwix Wiki Travel app (smaller Europe only version) from the Play Store. Alternatively, you can use the main Kiwix app, also from the Play Store, and select the Wiki Travel download option. While the Kiwix Wiki Travel specific app was updated as of January 2020, the main Kiwix app might be easier to update with new content. Install it when you are on WiFi, as the application is about 600 MB, and the latest archive is 1GB.

You can also use the Kiwix PWA simply by visiting https://pwa.kiwix.org in Chrome or Samsung Internet browser (the latter is faster, if you have it), and installing the PWA from Configuration. Then download the latest Wiki Travel archive in-app (1GB).

Installing the main app from APK is also possible.

iPhone/iOS edit

  1. Install the free app Kiwix,
  2. Open Kiwix and select the Wiki Travel file for download. Better download it when you are on WiFi, as the file is about 1GB.

As an alternative, visit https://pwa.kiwix.org on your iOS device in Safari, add the PWA to Home, and then download the Wiki Travel file in-app (a 1GB download).

UWP App (Windows 10/11 & Mobile) edit

Just install from the Microsoft Store: it is ready to use. If using a Mobile Device, you should download over WiFi, as the application (which includes the latest ZIM file) is approx. 1GB.

Installing without the Store is also possible.
