Not as convenient as the site itself!

I love wikipedia, but this app is just hard to navigate. There were times when I was redirected through browser to this app, and I had a hard time finding what I was looking for.
Then I close this app, and go to the site, and voila. There it was!

Im not asking you to make direct rip of the site, but make it as easy to navigate as the site.

Indispensable

L’application Wikipédia est devenue mon réflexe pour mes recherches d’information, à la place de Google et des chatbots IA. J’apprécie de pouvoir sauvegarder des articles et l’interface est très claire.

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
