Save Wikipedia articles to read on Wikipedia’s iOS and Android apps
Wikipedia Reading Lists is for Wikipedia Android or iOS users who would like to save articles into their reading lists. With a single tap, you can save an article into your default reading list, where it will be available for you to read through either of the Wikipedia apps.
To use this browser extension, you will need to have reading list syncing enabled for your account in the iOS or Android Wikipedia app.

- (2023-06-08) Elvin Aslanov: Good, but I also want to manage my list from my desktop computer's web browser and there's no UI for it in the extension. And also I'd like to choose a reading list while saving (since I may have many on mobile), and not everything saved to go to the default "Saved".
- (2023-02-26) Kevin: So basically I can save articles to the reading list BUT cannot read the items on the reading list (the most basic feature) and cannot delete articles from it. It's a joke, why can't Wikipedia just incorporate the reading list into their website?
- (2022-04-17) Leonardo Buzz: it really doesn't work , what a waste of a time
- (2022-04-06) chris varenhorst: As of 2022 this extension has now broken and Wikipedia hasn't bothered to update it. It's ridiculous that reading lists are only supported in the mobile apps and no where else.. But there is hope! It looks like someone built another extension using the same APIs that actually works. You can find it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wikipedia-reading-lists/ledhaefolaamkihlcbjbongijbmmakip They have the same name so remove/disable this one first. Also I do wish the official Wikipedia one actually worked, since I trust it more...
- (2022-01-05) Lexa Leon: It's not a problem to add an article to the reading list, but at the same time it is not possible to remove it from my PC browser.
- (2022-01-04) Urban Alič: Does not work as desired. Missing features: - remove a page from reading list - view and manage reading list - sync reading list with Android app - quickly tell if a page is in the reading list
- (2021-12-22) Hoe Chang Lim (Anthony): Does not work anymore
- (2021-05-21) Yusuf Karabay: allahını seven üstüme toprak atsın. nereye ekliyor nereden okuyoruz tekrar bulamıyorum
- (2021-04-06) Tobias Hallmans: Completely useless. This extension only lets you add pages to your reading list, nothing more. You can't show the reading list, and you can't even remove a page from the list once added.
- (2021-02-18) ALeX inSide: Can only save. Can not unsave. Can not show list. Very useless.
- (2021-01-14) M V: Either very flawed description or a very bad execution of the addon. Reading list cannot be viewed nor edited. Doesn't sync as advertised. Removed it after 15 minutes. Dissapointing experience.
- (2020-08-29) Murphy: Straight up doesn't work at all. Even when given permissions, there is no option to add an article to your reading lists.
- (2020-07-09) Sherri Kelly: cant get wikipedia app added to my homescreen
- (2020-03-29) Alex Aerulight: Not intuitive or helpful at all. It only lets you add a page you are currently viewing on desktop to your reading list by clicking the logo that appears in the address bar. Nothing more. There is no way to view or manage your list contents, let alone resume reading from mobile onto desktop.
- (2020-02-29) Gökhan Ercan: Does not support lists.
- (2019-07-18) Thomas Hagström: Can't access reading lists on desktop. Additionally can't choose category page is saved in
- (2019-07-01) David: It will be better if you can see the reading list and also change the directory to save them.
- (2019-01-06) Pavlo Prodan: Sync of reading lists doesn't work for me.
- (2018-12-17) Ricardo Häusler: This extension's current capabilities are a good start. Nevertheless, it must be said that this tool will be a lot more useful if it allows the Chrome user to browse and manage reading lists, as well as choosing in which list is it going to add an article, thus providing features similar to those found on the Android app. I thank the developers for their efforts, and hope that they eventually find time to improve the extension.
- (2018-10-06) I can read the saved articles and read them on my phone. All this extension does is save the articles. Can't read them on my laptop. Maybe I'll try Pocket.
- (2018-07-21) MOHAN MEENA: thank you very much.
- (2018-07-19) Dziban Molniya: Does what it says on the tin.
- (2018-06-23) Юлия Аникина: Please add the ability to view the reading lists from the browser!!!
