Hi zppix e,
We have been wanting to release an iOS app, but it depends entirely on whether we are able to get an iOS developer on board, either as a volunteer or paid (if we are able to obtain additional funding). The current team is unfortunately all Android developers.
Do you know anyone who might be interested? :)
Best regards, Josephine

Hello again, This is the monthly update from the Readers team at the Wikimedia Foundation for April 2018.
As always, feedback and questions are welcome.
==Highlights==
- Synced Reading Lists are now available on both Android and iOS. [0]
=== Apps===
- ''Android -'' Synced reading lists are now available on Android! [1]
[2] This has been one of the most consistently requested app features, and the team is delighted to be able to bring it to you. A browser extension is in the works to allow you to add articles to your reading lists from the web. We'll announce in the app when it's ready.
- ''iOS'' - Guess what? When we said syncing we meant across platforms
too! iOS also released syncing reading lists, brining folders, search and sort to our Saved pages, and letting you sync across to Android. [3]
=== Web ===
- Page Previews were enabled by default for logged-out users on
English and German Wikipedia. [4] The feature is now deployed to all Wikipedia projects for logged-out users. Logged-in users can enable the feature in their Preferences. [5] [6] [7] [8]
=== New Readers ===
- New Reader updates can be found at Meta. [9]

Message: 4 Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2018 19:38:36 -0700 From: Joe Matazzoni jmatazzoni@wikimedia.org To: wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org, Map integration maps-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikitech-l] Mapframe maps now work on English Wikipedia Message-ID: 2F63F912-6E3C-4B87-8FFD-AAD0EBD7DE80@wikimedia.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
English Wikipedians can now use the mapframe function to embed maps right on a page. (Here’s an example, showing the location of this year’s Wikimania conference. [1]). Mapframe was requested by the English community via RfC last year [2] and the request was reconfirmed this spring [3]. If you you’re new to mapframe, this Kartographer help page [4] shows how to use it.
Expect more significant new features in the coming weeks, with the implementation of the long-awaited map internationalization features [5]. After internationalization, maps will display in the content language of the wiki they’re published on. Until then, they will continue to display in the language of the territory mapped. (You can experiment with internationalized maps on testwiki now—here’s a page of examples. [6])
These features are brought to you as part of the Map Improvements 2018 project [7]. Please try mapframe out on English Wikipedia and let us know what you think on the project talk page [8]. We’re listening.
