When I open for example the website of Gibraltar

http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Gibraltar_map-de.svg

and I click on the map for opening the full map, I can't save the full map of gibraltar because the link to the svg-Image will be open in the browser. Because of this, I can't save the image for reading offline. - Uwe Bota


 * This would be part of a mobile version of Commons, or could possibly be carved off by itself first. --Phil Chang, Mobile Product Manager (talk) 19:24, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Two features I'd love to see which many of the other apps have: - ability to zoom in and resize text. The options within the app currently are extremely limited and the "large font" is much smaller than I would prefer to use. -ability to change the colour scheme to white text on black background.

Both of these would make it much easier for myself and other vision impaired friends to access the app. - Quentin Christensen

= V1.2 beta =

Android 4.0.2, Galaxy Nexus
Mostly looks really good! A few things I noticed:


 * 'read in', 'save', 'share page' menu items are selectable on the blank initial page; they do nothing or trigger a spinner variously before erroring out silently (errors visible in 'adb logcat')
 * hitting W button loads 'Main_Page' (showing the underscore in title)
 * "Article by contributors like you" appears to be an external web link but isn't formatted like a link, so it's hard to tell it's meant to be clicked
 * intermittent problems with search suggestions either not showing, or showing underneath article view (hard to reproduce consistently)
 * some slight flicker when references animate into view
 * zoom buttons, map markers hidden behind map in Nearby view
 * Android 'back' button from 'About' page skips over settings, goes straight back to article view
 * 'Read page in..." makes slightly less sense as it's no longer a list of languages, but of page titles


 * Loading wiki links with hashes on them loads the page including the hash in the title, doesn't jump to section location. (Eg try the links at the top of Portal:Contents/Portals)
