When the Commons app was sunset, we had three mobile apps developers, one for iOS and two for Android. If we decided to make the Commons app a priority, it would've effectively halted development of the Wikipedia app. Given that the Commons app had around 300 monthly active users, compared to the Wikipedia app's 9,000,000 monthly active users, the decision to sunset the Commons app was not a hard one. We were focussing our efforts on the area that had the largest impact. Revisiting that decision in the future is always a possibility. But, to be clear, right now there are no plans to resume development of the Commons app. Dan -- Dan Garry Associate Product Manager, Mobile Apps Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
