Hi all,
We're excited to announce that we've rolled out several new features and bug fixes for the Commons Android app[1] over the past few months. Some of the major ones include:
- A map of nearby places that need pictures (in addition to the existing list). Selecting a nearby place allows users to see the associated Wikidata item, get directions to the place, or view the associated Wikipedia article
- A new and improved UI, including a light and dark theme, a navigation drawer, and a logout option
- Fixed memory issues preventing users with older phones from accessing the app
- Licenses now include CC-BY 4.0 and CC-BY-SA 4.0, and licenses can be selected individually when uploading a picture
- The total number of pictures that have been uploaded from an account are now shown, and the image details pane now displays the upload date and image coordinates
Thank you for your support and encouragement though all this time! Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are always welcome on our GitHub page[2]. :)
