Description
Here is a Yahoo Mobile Developer's Conference hackathon winner. Get great information, not ads and commercial locations. "Wiki Where" shows you what is around you on your phone and on your Android Wear watch.Be smart, get the facts. This app finds your current location and contacts Wikipedia to get up to 10 pages in a 10 KM circle around where you are. You can get walking directions from the app and then visit anything from the list. Get Wikipedia out of the search box and into your everyday world.
On a watch, swipe through pictures of nearby sites from Wikipedia. Double tap your Smart Watch to start walking directions to that location without touching the phone. Of course, a watch is not required - the phone has a complete set of features including navigation.
On your phone, view the Wikipedia page photos in a summary list or swipe through the detail view with a tap on an entry in the scrolling list. Go to that web page on Wikipedia or tap the arrow to get walking directions. Type in a location to show the Wikipedia search results for any place in the world. Switch over and view those places on a map.
You can set the search rules and change the number of results in the Settings screen. Use the menu to get to Wikipedia's photo of the day or the featured story of the day.
This app is ad-driven. Your personal information is safe - Wiki Where does not share your location or any personal information.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
