 * What is the difference between the Android app and the mobile web version of Wikipedia?

The Wikipedia App provides an optimized and streamlined experience for searching and reading Wikipedia content. Being a native app, it allows articles to load faster, and with less data usage. It also delivers a more responsive interface that is more consistent with other Android apps that you love. It adds features that are not available (or not possible) in the Web version of Wikipedia, such as saving pages to the device for later reading, and sharing content and images from articles to your favorite social media apps.

Of course, the app is still under development, and does not yet have some of the features that are available on the Wikipedia mobile website, such as watchlists, collections, and notifications.

The most recent changes to the app may be found in the Play Store listing for the app, or here.

Androidのアプリではどんな機能を使えますか?

 * Explore feed

The home screen of the app now features a feed of recommended content for reading. Each "card" in the feed represents a single page, or a short list of pages, for you to read.
 * The types of cards you might find in the feed (depending on their language availability) include:
 * In the News: articles about current events.
 * Trending articles: today's most-visited articles (based on total view count).
 * Featured article: today's featured article on Wikipedia.
 * Featured picture: today's featured picture from Wikimedia Commons.
 * Continue reading: quick link back to reading an open article in one of your tabs.
 * Because you read: a short list of reading suggestions based on a recently-read article from your history.
 * On this day: events in history on this day.
 * Randomizer: opens a view which generates random articles to read.
 * Today on Wikipedia: opens the actual "Main Page" of Wikipedia.

If you don't want to see a particular card in the Explore feed, you can swipe any of the cards away to dismiss it.

Since version 2.7.221, there is also an option to "Customize the feed" that allows you to choose which types of cards to show, and show them in a preferred order.

The feed also includes a Search bar at the top for easy access to searching Wikipedia, along with voice-enabled functionality.

記事の中の文章を長押しすると、その部分が強調表示されます. そのあとトップメニューから「コピー」または「シェア」を選べば、文章をクリップボードに写します. 「シェア」を選ぶと、選んだ記事を普通のテキストまたはイメージカードで保存できます. イメージカードは記事の中の写真にテキストをかぶせて表示します.
 * 興味を持ったことを SNS でシェアしませんか

You can add a page to a reading list, which acts as a sort of bookmark of the pages. You can have more than one reading list so that you categorize the pages in your list. Pages saved to a list are made available offline by default so that you can read it later. You can turn it off, individually for each page in a reading list, if you do not want it offline. You will be able to access Reading lists from the bottom menu in the App's Home page (may change with different versions).

Synced reading lists

 * Are saved pages synced with other devices or browsers via my Wikipedia account?
 * A synced reading lists feature is currently in Beta, and will soon be released to all users.


 * How do I get the synced reading lists feature?
 * Beginning with version 2.7.23X, Android app users will be able to sync their reading lists to other Android devices they own, as long as those devices are running the latest version of the Wikipedia Android app, and the user is logged into the app on each device. (If users are logged out, or if syncing is not enabled, then reading lists will be stored locally only.)


 * I'm having trouble syncing. What should I do?
 * If you are having trouble syncing your reading lists, please make sure that each device is running the latest version of the Wikipedia Android app, that you are logged into the app on each device, and that you have enabled syncing for your account. (You can enable sync via the app settings menu.)


 * When will synced reading lists be available on other platforms?
 * Reading list sync is currently only available on Android, though we anticipate that the feature will soon be available in the iOS app as well. While there are no immediate plans to add the sync feature to desktop or mobile web, we encourage you to occasionally check back for further updates.

オフラインでの閲覧とデータ

 * Can I save articles for offline reading?
 * You will be able to save articles offline by adding them to a Reading list. Articles are made "Available offline" by default. You will be able to access Reading lists from the bottom menu in the App's home page (may change with different versions).


 * Can I access Wikipedia for free with your app?
 * If your mobile carrier supports Wikipedia Zero, the app will automatically access Wikipedia for free, and it will notify you when you are within a Zero-rated network. If you do not see a notification about this in the app, you may be charged for accessing data from Wikipedia.

Privacy and Data Sharing

 * Does your app track me? Do you use my data?
 * Yes, we do track some of your actions. Sending usage reports can be deactivated by going to the "More" option of the left navigation menu, and unchecking the "Send usage reports" checkbox. We also have crash reporting to help us fix bugs. If a crash is detected, you will be prompted with the option to send us the crash report if you like. (Please say yes! It helps us a lot.) All collected data is anonymous.


 * What information does the usage report contain?
 * Different data is collected, specifics of which can seen on the event logging page. For example, it records the average delay between typing a search term and receiving search results, or the number of times the Share button is clicked, or whether the font size was increased or decreased. We use a service called HockeyApp to report crashes in the Android application. When you choose to send us a crash (which we're immensely grateful for!), it tells us where in the code the crash originated from (the stack track across all active threads), and other diagnostic information such as the Android version and device type. This data cannot be used to personally identify you.

This is all used to better understand user engagement, and guides us to improving and enhancing the features that the app offers.
 * How does Nearby work?
 * When you click Nearby, the app requests access to your geolocation data, and offers you a list of up to 50 articles that are within 10 kilometers of your location. Nearby doesn't track your location or store your geodata.

Readability and adjustments
From the top-right menu (three dots), select "Font and theme".This will allow you to increase or decrease the text size, as well as switch between a Light and Dark theme.
 * Can I change font size and background color?

Yes! When an audio clip appears inside an article, tap on the "Play" button to start playing the audio. When an article contains a video clip, tap on the video thumbnail to start playing the video.
 * Can I listen to media or watch videos on the app?

Download and bug reporting

 * I am an Android developer, may I fork your app?
 * Please do. Our repository is available on . Please check details for contribution.

Can I download an APK version to install the Android app without a Google Play Store account?

APK files (for both the beta and stable versions of the app) are available on releases.wikimedia.org. Note that the app won't auto-update when installed this way.

Is the app available on F-Droid?

はい、2015年8月25日現在、F-Droid version を再度、更新しました.


 * Where do I report bugs?
 * If the app crashes, it will automatically display a dialog that asks you to specify what you were doing when the crash occurred. It will then automatically draft an email (in your preferred email app) that contains the report, which you can "send" when ready.
 * If you see another bug (and not a crash) or have a suggestion or feature request, you can send feedback [mailto:mobile-android-wikipedia@wikimedia.org here].

セキュリティとアクセス許可

 * Why does the app need the Identity permission (GET_ACCOUNTS)?
 * This permission is required so that the app can integrate with your user account on Wikipedia, so that your preferences and saved pages will be synchronized between devices when you are logged in. (This feature is currently under development.)


 * Why does the app need the Location permission (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)?
 * This permission is required for the app to find your current location when using the Nearby feature (displaying Wikipedia articles near your physical location). (This permission is not required to use Nearby, but you will need to manually move your map to your current location if the permission is denied.)


 * Why does the app need the Photos/Media/Files permission (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)?
 * This permission is required because the app allows you to save images that you browse to your local device. It's also required so that the app can temporarily save images for sharing via other apps (as in Share a fact).


 * Why does the app need the Full Network Access permission (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)?
 * This permission is used by the app to determine the state and quality of your network connection, and adjust certain aspects of its performance accordingly (e.g. loading lower-quality versions of images when on a limited connection). This permission is also used by the app's Nearby feature, which checks the quality of your network connection to determine how aggressively it should load the graphical map tiles.


 * Why does the app need the Boot Completed permission (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED)?
 * The app allows you to make edits to articles, as well as to the Wikidata descriptions associated with the article titles. After making an edit, the app starts a background service that listens for notifications from the server. If another user reverts an edit that you made, or leaves a comment on your Talk page, you will receive a notification via the app on your device. And if you happen to restart your device, this service needs to launch automatically, so that it can continue listening for notifications (without needing you to start the app explicitly). This is why the app needs to receive an event when your device initially boots up.


 * Is the connection between the app and Wikipedia encrypted?
 * Yes, all network traffic from the app is performed over HTTPS.
