The app is very rough and only have search functionality and might need months to get to great point, but I am super relived to see someone working on a true third party native client.

I wanted to share it with the community here, because the wikipedia app for android sucks on so many levels.

How does the wikipedia android app suck? It's open source and the ui is, imo, quite nice.

It is indeed very rough for now, but good to see another app

Even if it gets better it would need a good multi language (multi-lingual?) support for me to switch, which the official app did a stellar job with.
