Wikipedia is described as 'Free content, multilingual online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteers through a model of open collaboration, using a wiki-based editing system' and is a leading Encyclopedia in the education & reference category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Wikipedia for a variety of platforms, including Web-based, Android, iPad, Linux and iPhone apps. The best Wikipedia alternative is Encyclopædia Britannica, which is free. Other great apps like Wikipedia are Kiwix, Scholarpedia, Grokipedia and WikiReader.
