Talk:List of Wikipedia mobile applications/Archive 1

Security
The article fails to mention whether the app does all communication via TLS. Hopefully yes, but the article should say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.103.55.85 (talk) 02:55, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

iOS/iPhone
I was reading this and noticed it says iOS "also has read-only" or some such confusing language. Help:Mobile access (WP:IPHONE) says that the iPhone version allows editing. Not having an iPhone I won't be examining this myself, so I'd appreciate if someone could check and then edit the article appropriately. Wnt (talk) 00:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Translation
Hi, I'm from the Galician Wikipedia and some users had reported that there are some translation issues at Wikipedia app. Could somebody tell me where are the translation pages? Bye, Elisardojm (talk) 07:16, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Dead Links
The first reference "Wikipedia Beta on Google Play". Google Play. now a dead link.

The following link may be a good replacement: https://web.archive.org/web/20150703083316/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.wikipedia.beta however it may be best to comb through the web archives for the most recently updated version before it was taken down.

I can do this when I have a better internet connection (or you [anyone] can do it). Other references may be dead links as well.

I have realized that the problem was that my University student account is blocking Google Play, not that the links are dead.

Semi-protected edit request on 29 October 2018: WikiTrip for iOS
I am the author of WikiTrip, an iOS app that reads out Wikipedia articles around you. Can you please add my app under "Unassociated apps"?

Sorry, I am new to requesting edits to Wikipedia pages. I am the author of this app. Here a discussion on ProductHunt that qualifies as a reference in my opinion:

link rot Random Wiki app
Random Wiki app linking to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.sharan.random2wiki is no more. Google Play reports there is no such app. Did some research and found that this link has been archived from 2014-2017 on web.archive.org Dbfyinginfo (talk) 10:28, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ Thank you for the info. I have removed the item. – The Grid  ( talk )  19:47, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Please add WikiTrip for iOS to list of unassociated apps

Status of Firefox OS app
My understanding is that Firefox OS has been discontinued and the Firefox Marketplace (the platform's app store) has been shut down. Is the Firefox OS app still available anywhere? I couldn't find it at https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/ nor on the Wikimedia GitHub. I suspect the Firefox OS subsection should just be removed, unless anyone thinks it's historically noteworthy. Colin M (talk) 16:15, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

https://releases.wikimedia.org/mobile/
I'm failing to see any dates after 2014. Is this directory out of date? Jim.henderson (talk) 16:22, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks like there's a few sneaky updates within this folder but there seems to also be a github page as well – The Grid  ( talk )  17:16, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect links to repositories
The links to the repositories for the different apps highlighted in the Infoboxes seem to be incorrect. They all are pointing to the Wikipedia iOS app's repository. The link seems to be coming from Wikidata. I'm not sure how this Infobox - Wikidata interaction works as a consequence of which I couldn't fix this by myself. It would be nice if someone could review and fix this somehow. Please ping me when replying. Thanks! - - Kaartic correct me, if i'm wrong 14:58, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

offline Wikipedia readers
Is there an article that discusses offline Wikipedia readers?

I see a few offline Wikipedia readers mentioned in this "list of Wikipedia mobile applications" article, and a few others mentioned at Database download. --DavidCary (talk) 14:49, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत
सच्चाई के सामने कभी भी बुराई जीत नहीं पाती इसलिए सदैव अपने आपको समाज में सत्यवान के रूप में साबित करना सीखें क्योंकि बुराई का सदैव अंत होता है और सच्चाई की और अच्छाई की सदैव जीत होती है जय हिंद जय भारत Baba Ki booti (talk) 08:24, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Removing inactive apps
I've noticed one of the apps mentioned (Quiz King) has not had any reviews on the Google Play store since 2018, has not been updates on the Apple store since 2017 and its website is only available via archive. I'm not sure if the app is downloadable currently. (its not for me) Is it time for the app to be deleted from the list? Coyopelly ([]) 04:15, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

F-Droid or Google Play?
According to the "Official apps" section, the android app is available on F-droid, and indeed a link to F-Droid (not Google Play) is provided. On the other hand, on the main page (https://www.wikipedia.org) only a link to the Google Play is provided.

I think that the information on these two pages should be kept consistent, and both stores should be included in both pages since:
 * F-Droid should (also) be present in the main page, to stress Wikipedia's commitment to an open community.
 * Google Play should (also) be included in this page. The main reason is that the app is present there, and therefore if F-Droid is mentioned, then also Google Play should. As a secondary reason, some users may not be willing to have two stores (or only F-Droid software) on their phone, and they should not be lead to believe that the app is available only on F-Droid.

I commented on both issues here, since I don't know a way to propose modifications to the main page.

For the same reasons, the "Unassociated apps" (such as Aard 2) should have a link to the F-Droid package (when one exists), or an additional column "Available in F-Droid" (possible values: Yes, No, N/A) should be added, similar to "Open source".194.230.155.139 (talk) 14:37, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
