Hi everyone,

If you love Wikipedia and have an Android phone, you're in for a treat! Today we've released a revamped Wikipedia for Android app, now available on Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.

Our new features include:

- *Speed* - Our new, native app allows you to browse and edit Wikipedia faster than ever before. - *Editing* - You can edit Wikipedia on the app. Logged in or logged out, we thank you for all your contributions. - *Recent pages* - We provide you with your reading history, so you can tap as many links as you like without ever getting lost. - *Saved pages* - You can save select pages for offline reading and browse them even when you don't have a data connection. - *Share* - Use your existing social networking apps to share in the sum of all human knowledge. - *Language support* - The app allows you to seamlessly switch to reading Wikipedia written in any language. - *Wikipedia Zero* - We've partnered with cellular carriers around the world to provide Wikipedia free of data charges to users in many developing areas.

Coming soon:

- *Night mode* - We've gotten lots of great beta user feedback; one feature people love is reading Wikipedia in darker environments. The inverted colour scheme offered by night mode will make that much easier. - *Discussions* - Talk pages are an important part of Wikipedia for both new users and experienced editors alike. We're bringing them to the app.

This release is just the beginning! We're still working hard on creating new features to make the app the best Wikipedia reading and editing experience out there.

Please help us improve this app by sending a note to our mailing list, mobile-android-wikipedia@wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Dan
