Ahh, but some of us are on iOS which doesn’t seem to have been updated on the App Store in a while! The latest status update (at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/status#2014-05-monthly) seems to suggest it’s in Alpha state. Please can someone from the Apps Team give me some insight into the ETA for a new app, and if some of the new features of iOS 8 could be integrated into it?
I believe the provisional release date is July 7.[1]
In broad strokes, the functionality of the new iOS app is pretty similar to the new Android app, although I must say the iOS version has a really cool way of handling the in-article navigation with both a ToC and a scrollable miniature view of the article. Someone who knows better can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think much attention has been given yet to potential iOS 8-specific features.
