Why use an app when there's a web site? In case of Wikipedia I fail to see any functional benefit for an app.

Better reading experience overall. Compartmentalizing all my Wikipedia reading so as not to mix it with my other many open tabs. (Wikipedia app has tabs, too.) Sections are not collapsed by default. Easier to search on the page by default than in the browser.

I can probably go on it I made a more in-depth comparison after using the web version for a bit...

The app has offline capabilities and to save articles on a named list. I use it as a reference when forgetting something or to save the list type article as a starting point when researching a software to use. Or just generally a reading material when on the go (yes, I find reading wikipedia articles entertaining)

Ok, offline functionality does make sense
