  1. 5/5Great app, but please fix this bug.

    Listen to Wikipedia is a great app, I've been using everyday for years as a crude substitute for a lava-lamp because finding a stores that sell a consistent supply of light-bulbs for them can be problematic. But I would like to suggest a few tweaks. The first and biggest is to include the number of edits being done per-minute like on the website and the option to refresh the app instead of having to reboot it everytime it stops making sound. And also I would really appreciate it if you could please fix the most recent bug with the mobile app. While the website is still functioning fine, the mobile app hasn't been making sound since between 02:30 and 03:00 am last night. I would really appreciate it if you address that bug and have it fixed. Other than that, I really love the Listen to Wikipedia app.

  2. 5/5What can I say?

    This is beautiful! I would easily pay for this app anyday. The sensual sounds, the lovely circles that appear and fade, this app truly is one of a kind... It's wonderfully relaxing, simplistic, and well put together. It downloads fast so there is no reason not to give it a try! I've spent over 50 dollars purchasing all kinds of apps and this one is a favorite; goes to show how beautiful the power of community (wikipedia) truly is when combined in real time!🌷🌻

  3. 5/5Calming

    This is incredibly calming to have on my headphones while filtering out other noises. The sound is not quite as pleasant as it was when you could stream it through your Internet browser, but that function no longer works. This is a good replacement for now. I turned all of the languages on so that I would get a more vibrant stream of sounds. I would pay for this. It keeps me sane.

  4. 5/5Here it is: your moment of Zen.

    The pentatonic scale is very soothing. I downloaded this app during the pandemic, and I'm glad it is still working and being supported today. In these uncertain and anxious times, it's refreshing to have basic apps that do exactly what they say, and nothing more.

  5. 5/5Amazing but there's one thing-

    It would be awesome if you guys made it do background play.. I mostly use this app to calm me down when I have anxiety so it would be great if I didn't have to keep tapping to keep my phone from locking- other than that it's flawless
