Yes we have apks for the app. Am working with an organization called "health information for all" to promote distribution. Am also hoping to see organic spread. Realize that google play is blocked in China but many are also using anonymizers to get around that. This was developed in collaboration with Wikimedians in Taiwan who are also helping with distribution. Appreciate your advice / help though on other mechanisms.
Excellent! It sounds like you've got it handled. :-)
Come to think of it, you might also consider looking at contacting Legal to use the Wikipedia trademarks in the app. That might increase the app's visibility and branding, and drive more downloads. This was done with the Wikimedia Commons https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.free.nrw.commons&hl=en app which is presently 100% volunteer supported. There's a form you can fill in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contact/requestlicense, or you can email trademarks@wikimedia.org.
Thanks, Dan
