Is Wikipedia safe for kids?
Wikipedia is accurate but written for adults and unfiltered. Askimo sits between your child and Wikipedia: it picks kid-suitable topics, trims each article to a short, readable card, and frames it as a question — with no comments, no ads and no rabbit holes.
Does Askimo need an account or internet?
No account, ever. Askimo needs an internet connection to fetch new cards from Wikipedia; cards you have already opened stay readable offline.
Is Askimo the same as Simple English Wikipedia or Vikidia?
No. Those are separate encyclopedias written at a simpler level. Askimo uses the real Wikipedia in seven languages but changes how it is presented: one question, one tap, one fact — designed for short attention spans and read-aloud moments.
