With the dust settling for our launch of the new native Android app in
the Google Play Store [1] I'd like to acknowledge the great work that
the team [2] has done and forward some of the reviews we've seen come
in. [3]
Here are some of my favorites
"Super, the bugs are out. Runs like clockwork. Class layout. Now again
everything tip top."
(Translated from German)
"I am glad that there are also pages in the app can be edited. The app
is really fantastic!"
(Translated from Dutch)
"Keeping it 100 This app is a great way to access Wikipedia and the
fact that it doesn't snoop all your information is really cool. I'll
support Wikimedia till the end."
"Perfect since the last update Native Android is always the better way
for an android app. Looks marvelous and awesome, gg :-)"
"Great! Since the latest update everything is much improved. No more
random crashes on start-up and the UI is much more pleasing to the
eye. Well done!"
"To have One of those applications that you put "default". Wikipedia
is always helpful and this app is a good summary of simplicity and
functionality"
(Translated from Italian)
"Simply brilliant From idea to implementation, a round good thing, a
walking stick for humanity on your way to unity."
(Translated from German)
And a healthy amount of critique that we're ready to take head on
"Very good I really like the current interface. What I totally
disagree is that they have placed the option of modifying entries from
Mobile. If there are already many people adulterating tickets from the
web version, the mobile version now since many people with nothing to
do will too"
And my personal nonsensical favorite
"Savage app! This app is totally SAVAGE bro! It will make your day
glow like a lemonade cooler and bring home the bacon, fry it up in a
pan! Now that's what i call SAVAGE!"
(Translating this is beyond me but I love the energy)
Thank You to Dmitry, Bernd, Yuvi, Dan, Vibha, Moiz and others for
getting us here.
We're all excited to see iOS go next.
