معلومات عامة
Wikipedia Mobile web application is accessible via any web browser, it provides different features than the app, such as the ability to create watchlists, collections, and receiving notifications. The iOS app provides a different reading experience optimized for iOS devices, the ability to see pages about things that are nearby, and the ability to save pages for offline reading—to name just a few.
 * What is the difference between iOS app and mobile web app?

Please check out our Team page to find out more.
 * Who develops the iOS app?

Offline reading and data
To save an article for reading later, just tap the "heart" icon in the bottom bar while viewing the article. To view your saved articles, just tap on the W menu in the upper left corner, and tap "Saved pages".
 * Can I save articles for offline reading?

If your mobile carrier supports Wikipedia Zero, then please mark the option in settings for free browsing without data fees charging.
 * Can I access Wikipedia for free with your app?

No, we don't track you or give any personal information to 3rd parties. We do have event logging to help us figure if anybody uses features that we include in the app. User reports are only sent when you activate the option. It is enabled by default, but you can easily deactivate it from W menu. 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.
 * Does your app track me? Do you use my data?

When you click Nearby, the app requests access to use the GPS so we can determine your location. Then, we query Wikipedia for a list of articles that are nearby. The iOS application itself doesn't store your location or send it to our own servers. As an iOS user, you have already agreed to Apple's Terms and Conditions for the iOS version running on your device. Please refer to section 4, Consent to Use of Data, for more information about how they handle your Location and other usage data.
 * How does Nearby work?

You can refer to the page on event logging to see the various interactions and data we record. Keep in mind that not all events are logged on all platforms. If there's a specific scenario that concerns you, please reach out to the team so we can give you a definitive answer by referencing the code.
 * What information does the usage report contain?

We use a service called HockeyApp to report crashes in the iOS 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 iOS version and device type.

Readability and adjustments
Not at the moment, though we plan to work on user-configurable font sizes in the near future. Unfortunately, neither audio nor video are currently supported in the app.

Developing and bug reporting
Please do. Our repository is available on GitHub. Please see the README for information on how to contribute.

 * Where do I report bugs?

Instructions on how to file a bug are here. Please include as much information about your device, the app version you're using, and screenshots if you can.

Editing
No. You can edit without creating a username or logging in, but note that your IP address will be associated with your edits, and will be visible to anyone who reads the page's history. No. The application doesn't currently support viewing history and talk pages
