It's a non native app + the navigation is counterproductive.
I don't even know who use the tabs feature in the app, it's like the people who developed it do not use it in real life.
In my opinion, the application does not follow the modern design of Android apps in general.
I can't put in words, the frustration I felt using the official app and the countless times I searched for third party apps for Wiki.
Before finding out about WikiReader, I would be using the browser to see Wikipedia instead of using the app.
Now I have a more comfy way to use Wikipedia.
i disagree on some of the points, but theyre all fair.
But it shows up in fdroid for me, so im not sure why you say it isnt
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.
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.
