Hello everyone!
Our iOS app was released last week, and has been found wanting in a
lot of areas. We've been working hard at fixing the bugs encountered
and have fixed a good number of them. Please help us test it out by
testing this Release Candidate.

Download the ipa, drag it into iTunes, and sync!
NOTE 1: If you haven't given us your UDID then this IPA will NOT work
for you. We need to have your IPA before we build a new version in
order for it to work. If your try the IPA and find that it wont
install then follow these instructions and then send us your UDID

iOS 4.2 and 4.3 were the ones majorly affected, so testing on those
would be rewarded with large amounts of developer-smiles.
Things to specifically test for:
1. Scrolling issues. We had major scrolling issues in 4.2 and 4.3
which have now been fixed.
2. Search. Try it out and see if it feels 'natural' and not too 'laggy'.
3. Styling issues with navboxes in articles. They should look the same
as on the mobile site on safari.
4. General speed/slowness issues.
Also stress test all the other features present (interwiki language
links, change font settings, save pages, look up nearby articles).
You can provide us feedback by either editing this page:

or by replying on list.
Thanks!
