There are lots of little things that annoy me but most have been fixed or are very minor But this is a HUGE annoyance: the zoom function. Any app or website I have ever used, I can double tap, and it zooms in a predictable, reasonable amount that I am used to. I want more? I’ll just pinch to zoom in further if needed On this app, every single picture you double tap doesn’t just zoom in a little. Oh no, if I double tap to appreciate the details slightly more, it will start zooming in until I can see individual hairs, then dust particles, then molecules. These become atoms, and then electrons. At some point, I am convinced I am peering at the quantum foam underlying reality itself Exaggerating slightly, but it actually is ridiculous. I ALWAYS have to zoom back out because of how insanely deep it ends up going. It entirely defeats the purpose of double tap zooming, a quick convenient one-handed slight zoom. PLEASE FIX THIS Otherwise, no complaints, good app, thanks for your work. The homepage could be more “Wikipedia-ish” and less “social media-ish”, and also there should be a way to view old edits without scrolling all the way (basically impossible to view edits atm unless they are recent). But overall nice comfy app, thank you

I will never understand why “mobile-optimized” or “mobile-first” means a terrible, unusable experience. I was hoping the app would have an easy way of selecting the Vector skin by default for Wikipedia pages—you know, the way the website used to normally look for the past 10 years before the terrible “mobile” update they rolled out. Currently the only way to view Wikipedia is to manually add ?useskin=vector to the end of ever url. What a pain. Or make an account, which I never had to and shouldn’t have to do. But gee, I didn’t know when I was better off! The app is so bad, with a fixed table of contents margin on the left third of the screen, it makes the website look good by comparison. No way to select what skin you want, in fact, you’re stuck between blinding white light mode or pitch black dark mode. Another typical disastrous design choice, Why can’t anybody make a neutral color that is easy on the eyes day or night anymore? And don’t expect an easy way to read on a tablet/iPad. This version requires constant scrolling to read anything. Instantly deleted. Better off sticking with viewing pages in a web browser.

As a retired person with ADHD, I’m always looking for new things to learn to keep myself from boredom. I read news from many sources, and I love how I can select a word or phrase and “Look up” everything from definitions to short descriptions and then full blown encyclopedia-like entries. But better than encyclopedia after going through Wikipedia’s process of development. This wonderful, valuable FREE source shouldn’t be taken for granted. Be sure to donate if you can. I just did (again). Motivated by remembering the old days of NOT learning. No time for the library and no budget for Encyclopedias: A whole set of awkwardly heavy books, rapidly outdated, making their high price outrageous. Wikipedia is genius by comparison. I thank especially the creators but also the writers editors etc who keep this going.
