That sounds good. :-) > I think I'll use Wikipedia on mobile web instead, as it is more in line > with my interests as an editor, although I love the nearby feature in the > Android app and the Android app is fast so I'll probably still use it on > occasion. > I think that's probably the best approach for you right now. The apps represent a minuscule percentage of our reader base (~1%). In a market so heavily dominated by mobile apps, we expected it to be higher. My ultimate goal for the product is to get people contributing to Wikipedia on the app, but we need to fix the first step, the reader acquisition problem, before we consider the next. That means editor stuff like the watchlist, which would need to be implemented from the ground up in native code, is not a priority right now. I should point out, however, that I am working on a watchlist feature for the Android app in my spare time. My first pass will hopefully be going in to the beta app soon. :-) > Thanks for your comments, and I appreciate that you are thinking about how > end-users use the products. > And, thank you for taking the time to write to us about the app! We always appreciate the highly constructive feedback you give us. :-) Dan -- Dan Garry Associate Product Manager, Mobile Apps Wikimedia Foundation
