Description

See and hear every edit to Wikipedia, as it happens. Each change appears as an animated bubble — sized by the magnitude of the edit — while a musical note plays in real time. Larger edits produce deeper notes; smaller edits ring higher. Colors tell the story of who's editing: white circles for registered users, green for anonymous contributors, and purple for bots. Lighter bubbles mark additions to articles; darker ones signal deletions. When a new user joins Wikipedia, a warm pad swells and a blue banner appears to welcome them. Tap any bubble to see the article title, then tap again to open it in your browser. Tap a new-user banner to visit their talk page and say hello. Customize the sound to your taste. Choose from over a hundred instruments for additions, deletions, and new-user events. Pick a musical scale — pentatonic or heptatonic — in any of 12 keys and multiple modes. Adjust the root octave and range to shape the melody that Wikipedia writes. Supports 32 languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, and many more. Based on Listen to Wikipedia by Hatnote (listen.hatnote.com). Developed by Bryan Oltman (bryanoltman.com).

Great but could use tweaks

Enthused citizen · 10 years ago · v1

I experienced the same higher pitch from the desktop version that others are reporting. Also I found that if I have my phone in vibrate mode (not silent!) the music doesnt play, where other apps still do and thats pretty annoying.

Pretty cool

This app is so cool, love the way it represents the constant changes going on around us.

What 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... Its wonderfully relaxing, simplistic, and well put together. It downloads fast so there is no reason not to give it a try! Ive 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!

Very neat, well made, intimate Wikipedia experience.

This app beautifully elucidates the ever changing nature of Wikipedia, in a quaint, peaceful way.

Amazing but theres one thing-

Pignerd · 11 years ago

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 didnt have to keep tapping to keep my phone from locking- other than that its flawless
