Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Revamped iOS Wikipedia app now live!
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
I'm thrilled to announce that today the Mobile Apps Team released the new,
native iOS Wikipedia app!
Quick access to information is important for our mobile users, and we want
to give people the fastest way to access Wikipedia while on the go. A lot
of the improvements are under the hood â the app was written from the
ground up in native code, with speed in mind. Weâve paid attention to
important details such as how quickly the app starts, how fast pages and
images load, and how quickly search results are returned. The result is a
snappy experience getting Wikipedia readers to the content theyâre looking
for faster than ever before.
Features include:
- *Speed* â Our new native app allows users to browse and edit Wikipedia
faster than ever before on mobile devices.
- *Editing* â You can edit Wikipedia on the app! Logged in or logged
out, we thank everyone for their contributions to the sum of human
knowledge.
- *Recent pages* â We provide readers with a reading history, tap as
many links as you like without ever getting lost.
- *Saved pages* â Save select pages for offline reading and browse them
on a plane trip, on the road, or anywhere without an Internet connection.
- *Language support* â The app allows seamless transition to reading
Wikipedia written in another language.
- *Wikipedia Zero* â Weâve partnered with mobile network operators
around the world to provide Wikipedia free of data charges to users in
many
developing and emerging economies.
This first release is just the beginning! Weâre still working hard on
creating new features to make the app the best Wikipedia reading and
editing experience out there. Give the app a spin
<https://itunes.apple.com/app/wikipedia-mobile/id324715238> and let us know
what you think by emailing us at mobile-ios-wikipedia(a)wikimedia.org.
Thanks!
Dan
