Congrats, team. As of v.5 the app has become my
primary mode of accessing
Wikipedia on my phone (snappier than the browser and the multilingual
search really did it for me).
Keep up the great work!

Hello mobile wikimedians,
Big day for Wikipedia apps. First, big congrats to the Android team on
today's awesome update!
On iOS, after a long beta testing period[1], focusing on improving
performance and reducing crashes and instability, we've released the 5.0.5
version of Wikipedia to the App Store.
We expect users will see:
- less hangs or failures to load on the Explore feed
- full AuthManager support and stable account log in and creation
- use less device resources, espeically when backgrounded and in our
backups
- most importantly, less crashes!!
We also fixed over a two dozen other bugs and usability issues, large
and small.
Thanks to our volunteers (particularly thanks to huayu0723,
bart-kneepkens and gregggreg2 for their code contributions, and josve05a
for his invaluable help with OTRS and testing). I also want to thank our
beta testers, who put in extra effort on this version to help us find and
diagnose stability issues.
Thanks,
Josh
