I'm happy to announce the Mobile Wiktionary app for Android is now available via Google's app store[1]! We do not have an iOS app available yet, but we'd be happy for other volunteers to join this project to build it!

This app allows people to browse wiktionary in their own language anywhere they have digital services for their Android device. BUT: there are always things which can be improved, and we need to work together to make this the best dictionary app. Nearly all of the appearance and content is drawn from the individual wiktionary, via Mobile Frontend, so this app is a real partnership between the developers and the community.

* The wiktionary app has feedback pages![2] Please leave comments on any of them! We also track the app store feed back, this list, the mobile-l, and we are (usually) available on IRC at irc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-mobile. * There is a bugzilla product: Wiktionary App[3]. If you see something you think might be a bug, or a cool feature, or just want something made a bit more obvious, report a bug for this product and we will try to respond quickly. * Each wiktionary has control of how their main page appears as the 'start-up' page for users in their linguistic localization. MediaWiki.Org has guidance on improving your home page[4] * Certain features of Mediawiki's standard javascript and css are not forwarded to mobile devices. This includes common.js. Displays which rely on common.js will appear broken on mobile devices, potentially making your community's work completely illegible. Please keep in mind that appearance is of lower priority than content, and develop layouts which do not rely completely on js.
