First of all, I love this app. It is very professionally made. The UI is clean and intuitive. Links work how you’d expect them to, it’s easy to search, navigate through pages and find words within articles. But there is one major glitch that makes me extremely frustrated - editing documents. For some reason the cursor is virtually unusable when editing documents. It jumps around and sometimes just gets stuck in place making it impossible to set it where you want to begin typing. There are other problems with it that I won’t get into but really the only flaw of this app id the editing UI. This app would be absolutely PERFECT if that is fixed.But if you don’t edit pages like I do, you’ll absolutely love this app! Think of all the FREE information you’re getting from this app. Truly mind-boggling the world that we live in.

Wikipedia is my favorite website. I open the app probably every half hour or so whenever I have free time, and I donate monthly. I’ve always enjoyed the user experience through the app, I’ve thought it has been really well made, but a couple changes in v7.7.0 recently prompted me to give some feedback.First thing, which has already been patched in the latest version, is how in version 7.7.0 I needed to select the search box after tapping the search icon to populate the field. I didn’t understand the change, as I don’t access my search history nearly as often as I search a new topic; maybe it was a bug, but I’m glad the change has been reverted.Second thing: I am no longer able to swipe back an article while scrolling- the screen has to come to a dead stop in order to do so. I can see how this would be the preference of some users, so I guess it’s not the end of the world, but for me it’s just another extra step to arrest the motion of the screen before I can navigate where I’d like.Finally, and this is only cosmetic, I have always appreciated the monochromatic look of the app and navigation bar. Now that the navigation bar items are blue, I realize how nice it was to have no color distractions on the screen while navigating. Again, for some people this might be a change for the better; either way it doesn’t break the experience, I think it’s mostly up to personal preference.Just thought I’d give some feedback on the new update, I always have and still do enjoy the app very much and quite often. Thank you guys for all the work you put in to maintain the app and site!

The reading experience on the mobile app is measurably better than on the website, with a more streamlined appearance and some small welcome additions such as dark themes and a side menu for the table of contents. However, the app occasionally sees some major and minor issues. Sometimes, when holding down on a hyperlink, a notification describing a JavaScript exception obscures the title and summary of the selected link, which is mildly irritating. More seriously, the saved articles screen occasionally has “ghost links,” where a saved article may appear multiple times and articles which have since been removed still show up. Clicking on either a duplicate or a removed article highlights the list item but does nothing else. Ghost links cannot be deleted by sliding right like ordinary links, and they appear arbitrarily with each opening of the reading list. Also, when reading articles offline, I like to save hyperlinks that I intend to read once I find an internet connection. However, I’m always disappointed to find that these saved articles do not download automatically once on WiFi. On one flight I’ll be reading an article and saving links, then I’ll rejoin WiFi, then I’ll board another flight only to find those saved links haven’t been downloaded yet! The Wikipedia app would be a perfect experience if not for these somewhat significant detractions. The saved articles list is one of the greatest advantages the mobile app has over the website—it would be nice if it functioned consistently well.
