The intro page for the app says "Please keep in mind that this is volunteer generated content. While we try our best to make it as accurate as possible it is not perfect. Thus we request that you use common sense."
The reviews of the English version have been very positive. For example "Brilliant. Wikimedia, by providing these very useful contents for free and in such a simple and easy to use app, you are serving humanity."

We volunteers do not get much positive feedback so it is nice reading for a change. While what we do is not perfect it is very much appreciated and much of the time it is sufficient.

Hi,
I'll share here a comment that I made on the "Wikipedia Weekly" group on Facebook.
Is this a good idea? On it.wiki we go to great lengths to tell people that medical information on Wikipedia may not be complete or accurate, we have a dedicate template for that[1], see an example here[2].
While I am not saying this is not a bad idea, especially for places where access to Wikipedia may be discontinuous, I am not sure I would suggest to have such an application in Italian.
Thoughts welcome.
Ciao,
C
