to the downloads folder and tap the KiwixWebApp bundle. You will be asked if you wish to install,
but it then installs silently in the background. Be patient: it can take a minute or so for the Kiwix
icon to appear in the All Apps list. You will also need to download a ZIM file to use with the app
(see below).

You will need a ZIM file to work with this app. For testing, you can download the Ray Charles ZIM
file in the tests folder on this repository. You only need the wikipedia_en_ray_charles_2015-06.zim
file, not all the files ending .zimaa, .zimab, etc., as these are more cumbersome to use on mobile.
Place the file in an accessible location on your device, and use the Browse button in the app to
open it. Download further files from http://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content_in_all_languages. The single
non-indexed ZIM files work best. However, if you plan to store your ZIM file on an SD card formatted
as FAT32, you will only be able to use the split files (.zimaa, .zimab, etc.) in the pre-indexed
archives. If your SD card is formatted as exFAT or NTFS, you can use either, but single file is easiest.
Our intention is to make this app available in the Windows Store, when ready.
The authors of the HTML5 app for Kiwix did all the work. Their source code runs almost "as is" on
the UWP platform. This initial port for Windows 10 (Mobile) is by Geoffrey Kantaris. I can be contacted
