GitHub Repo.

The app is very rough and only have search functionality and might need months to get to great point, but I am super relived to see someone working on a true third party native client.

I wanted to share it with the community here, because the wikipedia app for android sucks on so many levels.

Oh, I guess they fixed their releases on F-Droid.

They used to have very old version on the F-Droid repo that they stopped updating years ago, the last time I checked it on F-Droid.

There was a few months where Wikipedia was reverted to a very old version as newer versions didn't meet their build standards. That has since been fixed.

Oh, I guess that explain what I noticed.

Thank you for the link.

I get at least an update every two weeks or so... and it worked for at least the last four years, since I installed it from f-droid.
