To be honest while I can certainly appreciate the usefulness of an app for Wikimania i see it as very low on a long list of things that need to be set and ready (many of which may never be fully set before the conference begins) before we invest much time and energy into an app.

Obviously, it is not up to par with conference apps, like the Google I/O app.

Are there any plans to get an official app for use for subsequent conferences of Wikimania? Or sponsors who happen to be app developers will do us the honor?

I think this year's event was the tenth Wikimania. Launching an app to celebrate that wouldn't have been a bad idea.

The app link above says "official Wikimania app", but not very official to me as was built by one of the sponsors of the event.
