Unable to log in

Unable to log in on app, am able to log in on browser just fine. When logging in I just see a blank captcha box on WiFi/cellular, private relay is off and so is automatic verification.

Love Wikipedia but the app has a problem

I use Wikipedia every day. It’s the best. The app often freezes when I’m reading articles on the iOS app, though. Especially when I scroll, it’ll freeze for a few seconds then go back to normal. This has happened for years and I assumed it’d be addressed, but it hasn’t been addressed.

Many images wont load

Several images show a blue question mark. When i click on the image, i have to refresh several times to see it. Please fix this

Nice vibe coding

Невозможно пользоваться. Скроллишь статью пальцем, а остановить скррлл новым нажатием не можешь, текст продолжает скроллиться. Как и всегда, любое действительно крутое приложение, в котором нет ничего лишнего и которое идеально работает, в конце концов оказывается в руках некомпетентных скотов, знающих только слово «тренд» и как продавать самих себя в виде профессионалов. Грустно. Непостижимо.
