v3.6.3.3 fixes this issue. It now uses the wikitext dumps if the HTML dumps are not there. Just update your app, and you will see actual pages, not blank ones.

Going forward, Download Central will be the primary vehicle to get XOWA wikis. It provides a simple way to import wikis. It eliminates any confusion about which files to download and where to copy them. Monthly updates for English Wikipedia will be published here as well.

The new XOWA Search Engine uses PageRank to rate pages by importance. Although this works well for Wikipedia, it sometimes overrates pages which exist for encyclopedic book-keeping.
</p>
<p>
For example, a lot of Wikipedia pages will have a small box called "Authority Control" at the bottom of the page. This box will have links to other pages like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Authority_Control" rel="nofollow" class="external free">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Authority_Control</a> If a million pages have this Integrated Authority Control link, then PageRank rates this page highly. ("1 million pages link to it!") However, the page itself is fairly short, and is not really one of the most important articles in Wikipedia (it would score higher than India, Insect, Italy, etc).

v3.6.3 tries to reduce the importance of these pages if these articles are "short". This heuristic was already present in the previous versions of the search engine, but has been further tweaked.
