Loved it on iOS, love it on Android. Being able to carry around what amounts to a small library in your pocket and all of that in several languages is just awesome. Thank you! There are two things I miss, but they may be by design. One is to switch between two different language ZIM files from within an article and the other is looking at images in a screen-filling fashion. But these are incredibly minor issues, considering I can hold Wikipedia in my hands, offline.

For what the tool is, and being free without ads, the app is great. My only complaint is toward Google/Android in that you can't enable the app to read from an external source (e.g. thumb drive). If you want to view a repository that is 100 GB, you'd need to copy 100 GB to your phone, which is kind of a no-go for most new phones since the manufacturers (like Google) don't give you the option of adding an SD card.

The app is fast, easy to use and has access to a variety of articles. I am always able to find what I'm looking for and I can choose between the full version, text only or summary version. The people behind this project deserve all my respect. The only issue I have with this app is that sometimes the download page, when I search for a specific collection, shows unrelated results. It even shows me results in different languages despite the fact I only selected English in the filter.
