Smooth animations: Smooth and fluent animations
Customizable colors: Choose from light/dark themes and customize the Material 3 color palette
Customizable font size: Choose your own comfortable font size
Data saver: Save your limited data plan by loading text only
Math expressions: View properly rendered mathematical expressions for easily reading mathematical articles

WhatsNew:

New features:
- Add support for Infoboxes
- View history: view recently opened articles in the "History" screen
- Recently used languages can now be seen in the languages bottom sheet
- Added a language "chip list" to search for quickly searching in multiple languages

Bug fixes:
- Saved articles failing to load

Improvements:
- Reworked data storage system: Saving anything is now much faster and reliable
- Improved image loading
- Minor layout improvements and refinements throughout the app

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.

Anti-Features:

TetheredNet (This app is bound to a certain network service):
⇒ The app requires a connection to Wikipedia, which cannot be replaced.

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
