Meet V for Wikipedia: Fancy Reading For Your Mobile Device
V for Wikipedia is an informational reading app that takes Wikipedia to a whole new level of entertainment and convenience.
Wikipedia is a fairly dependable source (despite what your teachers might’ve said) whenever you want to search up a movie synopsis or figure out a complex scientific theory—Or maybe words like mobile app development and digital strategy are alien to you, and you want to familiarize yourself to more of today’s tech jargon; we’ve all been there.
Raureif is a group of creative experts with a knack for UI design. Some of their work includes an aesthetically pleasing weather app and an impressive number of site redesigns. Their most recent aspirations, however, led them to develop a reading service platform for Wikipedia— one made especially for mobile.
As a whole, it’s safe to say that Wikipedia offers a fairly painless browsing experience. The site’s simple, to-the-point appearance sticks to a trusty white background and a list of icons that allows even the most technologically challenged user to navigate the pages. But today's app of the week is ready to change the game for all Wikipedia users, tech-savvy or not.
