I have minor gripes.
When reading an article, headings are always expanded and can’t be collapsed. When I’m going down the rabbit hole, I can’t open many links in new tabs.

Wikipedia blocking IP addresses, even when they do not have an account.
Due to very poor app design, it even does not allow people because this block is clearing blocks for hundreds of people, it should be specific to users by names, not hundreds of people because of the actions of a single person.
Love it , but ….
I love this app and I love Wikipedia and all it stands for . I start with a suggestion: I wish you could bookmark pages you are reading so that when the app closes and you go back to your page , you can pick up right where you left off ! It would be incredibly useful for me personally , though I’d hope other share the sentiment . The app also does not play videos that are attached to pages , they just stand frozen . This one is small but when you delete articles from your bookmarks , sometimes it has a pictureless remnant of just the name that goes away with time but is still there . Just seems like a very minor glitch
Saving Pages Confusing
Good app BUT using the bookmark to force offline storage of pages FAILS for many pages. The bookmark icon at the bottom of the screen does nothing for some pages. For other pages it “fills” indicating a bookmark has been saved AND the page is available offline. No help or relevant settings. Disappointing.

Good for some studys bad for some studys.
Just having it installed is bad
The app STILL DOESN'T LET YOU ZOOM! After years and years of public complaints about it, a known running joke about how bad this is (there's even an XKCD comic), it's still a crippling problem that makes it irritating to use. The app completely inappropriately displays only part of an article's main image making it confusing to see. The only purpose of Wikipedia is to access information and this app makes it worse. It's an inferior experience to viewing the site. And that's really annoying because the site already shows how to display things right, this is pure incompetence of the app design. Just having the app installed will hijack links you click on sometimes in your browser, and bring you into this bad experience, so it's not even harmless to have installed. I've given it a reality solid try, a few times over the last few years. It frustrates me to tears how bad it continues to be for no reason. Wikipedia is one of the top few best things to ever exist. The mobile site makes it available to millions, even billions of people, changing the world. This app is step backwards, it's a real shame that the features it offers are so crippled by its interface.
Excellent App
You can access WikiPedia on just about every platform- but often on mobile phone apps you lose functionality compared to a desktop. There is no loss of functionality that I can see, sure there are editing features that are lost, but aside from that from a user reading perspective the app faithfully upholds that experience.
Wikipedia
Surely one day they close this terrible website down . Every time I accidentally click on there webpage it’s begging me for money . Get used to the fact no one uses your app .
Good but
For some stupid reason It will not let me setup an account. It like to block my IP address for reason unknown.
L BOZO TEACHERS
HAHA ALL TEACHERS JUST HATE THIS FOR SOME REASON AND THEY DONT LET US USE IT SO I GOT IT IF YOU DONATE TO WIKIPEDIA YOU ARE THE HIGHEST OF ALL GIGACHADS
