Wikipedia UWP doesn’t support Continuum and HoloLens yet due to lack of test devices. App might crash when using Continuum. It’s a known issue. Please consider donating to Wikipedia UWP development to make it even more awesome and to help bring this app to other Windows 10 device families.

Thanks! Have a great Weekend.
