Doesn’t work great

Though I love the website, the app doesn’t function the best. It is hard to use and just doesn’t work well as an app. There are some fun inclusion about it, but overall, it’s much easier to use the website.

Feature Request

I’d love to have a widget dedicated to the app’s Places feature spotlighting nearby articles.

Thank you, Wikipedia! The app is great.

Galaxy-brained design

I love that now when I press the magnifying glass button, it doesn’t immediately let me search, it instead shows me my history, and makes me press the magnifying glass *again* in order to search. This is a super intelligent design feature and not at all stupid. Superfluous extra steps are super cool!

Everything is great and I have a few small suggestions

-It would be great if the articles near you map had a widget form
-A setting to close tabs automatically after a time would also be nice

I have had no problems with anything else and this is my favorite app on my phone.
