Hi
This was a long standing feature request and not the easiest one to implement, that's why the Kiwix development team is pretty proud to announce the release of Kiwix for iOS v1.0.
With Kiwix for iOS you can easily download/read recent snapshots (with or without pictures) of all Wikimedia projects with your iPhone/iPad. This first version of the app provides basic functionalities like: * ZIM reader * Navigation through articles * Search based on article title * Content library/downloader * Bookmarks * Browse history * iTunes sync (already in beta testing for v1.1)
The app has been developed for the last 18 months by Chris, a New-York based developer. He was (a bit) mentored by an older member of the Kiwix dev team and the project was supported by WikimediaCH for the administrative work with Apple and the coverage of mandatory hardware costs.
With this last stone, Kiwix which is already available for Windows, OSX, Linux and Android, has reached a milestone. 10 years after the project creation, Kiwix is a a cutting-edge solution to access Wikipedia (and a lot more) offline - with most of the computers - whatever the platform.
Download Kiwix for iOS on Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kiwix/id997079563
Have a look to the source code: https://github.com/kiwix/iOS
Regards Emmanuel
Congratulations! Would you like to write a blog post about this milestone?

Hi Quim
Thank you for the proposition. We have meanwhile released the v1.1 and the app has proven to "do the job". So, this is definitely a good idea. I have myself pretty tight resources but have made a call on Twitter: https://twitter.com/KiwixOffline/status/650697497451606017
Hopefully someone will be volunteer for this task.
Regards Emmanuel
