Wikimedia Apps/Team/iOS/User feedback review SOP

= Standard Operating Procedure for Gathering User Feedback aka Chore Wheel = Each person is assigned one week for "chore wheel." Your week includes the Saturday and Sunday preceding your assignment. For example:

Your week is December 14. That means you cover the days from Saturday December 8 through Friday December 14.

Note: the calendar invite for your assignment can be moved to any day/time in your week that is useful to you. Just have things done by Friday of your week.

Questions/complaints about disappearing reading lists
As of February 2022, we are attempting to investigate this issue. Please include the following in response: Thanks for getting in touch, and we extend our deepest apologies for the issue you experienced with the Wikipedia app. We recognize that data loss is a serious issue.

While this is not widespread, we’ve heard from some other people who have experienced the same thing, and we’re trying to figure out what is happening. With our deep, sincere commitment to privacy, we don’t track our users in the same way that most apps do. Most apps can look at detailed logs to diagnose why something like this is happening, but we rely on our users. If you have a few minutes to answer these questions, we’d really appreciate it - finding commonalities among the few people experiencing this will help us diagnose the problem.


 * 1) What version of iOS are you using? (In your phone’s Settings app, tap "General", then "About", and look in the  "Software Version" line.)
 * 2) What version of the Wikipedia app are you using? (In the Wikipedia App, go to the Explore tab. Then tap the settings gears at the top, then go to the bottom and tap "About the app". The version is the full numbers towards the top - something like "6.9.0 (1887)".)
 * 3) What languages do you use in the app? (In the Wikipedia app’s settings screen, tap "My Languages" and let us know all languages that are there.)
 * 4) Are you signed into a Wikipedia account in the app, or not? (In the Wikipedia app’s settings screen, you’re signed in if the first line shows a username. If it says "Log in", you are not signed into the app.)
 * 5) Roughly how long have you used the app for?
 * 6) Do you use Wikipedia Reading Lists on any other devices?
 * 7) Do you use reading lists to organize your saved articles?
 * 8) Roughly how many articles did you have saved?
 * 9) Roughly how many reading lists did you have?

Thanks for your help,

Messages mentioning in-country blocks
If we receive reviews from users in China (or other countries whose government might be blocking Wikipedia) saying that they keep getting "not connected to internet" errors, this is likely to due to the blocks that those countries have imposed. You can reply to the reviews on the Play Store with the following message:"We are committed to allowing everyone, everywhere to freely access, share, and participate in knowledge on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is currently blocked by most internet service providers in China. We are not able to ensure access to Wikipedia until the block is lifted."
