Re: [WikimediaMobile] [Apps] Android Wikipedia beta app release (2.3.148-beta-2016-07-18)

[Orsolya Gyenes]

WOW!

You guys deserve a BIG applaud, this is definitely amazing!

We've been waiting for something like this for so long!

I love it, especially the Trending feed.

I'm wondering if there's a possibility to change language on Trending? I
see our results of hu.wiki but I'd like to know what's trending on other
wikis?

Thank you very much for your hard work!

Dear Tilman,

Can you provide a link for this summary below?

Thank you,

Re: [WikimediaMobile] Android app: nearby, but elsewhere

[Orsolya Gyenes]

Nearby is far the best and most exciting feature of the app!

It should be improved! ;-)

Re: [WikimediaMobile] [Apps] New Android production release

[Orsolya Gyenes]

I have an issue with watchlist too.

It doesn't work with the WP Beta app at all but if I log into
hu.wikipedia.org with Google Chrome with my username I can access my
watchlist but it's really basic.

Watchlist is really not fun on mobile.

 That’s great news, Dmitry. Is watchlist coming to Android too? (Or is it
 already there which I didn’t see?) I’d really love to be able to access all
 my watched pages on Android and add them to the saved pages for a later
 reading.

 Thanks,
 Baha
