The app is very rough and only have search functionality and might need months to get to great point, but I am super relived to see someone working on a true third party native client.
I wanted to share it with the community here, because the wikipedia app for android sucks on so many levels.
It’s a non native app + the navigation is counterproductive and it’s not avaliable in F-Droid.
I don’t even know who use the tabs future in the app, it’s like the people who developed it do not use it in real life.
In my opinion, the application does not follow the modern design of Android apps in general.
I can’t put in words, the frustration I felt using the official app and the countless times I searched for third party apps for Wiki.
Before finding out about WikiReader, I would be using the browser to see Wikipedia instead of using the app.
Now I have a more comfy way to use Wikipedia.
Interesting. I’m really surprised by this. I really like the wiki app. And use the tabs a lot. Never would have expected someone to dislike it so much. Designing mobile apps must be a incredibly hard job.
Tabs meaning the chrome-like article selection? I use it all the time, FWIW.
i disagree on some of the points, but theyre all fair.
But it shows up in fdroid for me, so im not sure why you say it isnt
Oh, I guess they fixed their releases on F-Droid.
They used to have very old version on the F-Droid repo that they stopped updating years ago, the last time I checked it on F-Droid.
