| | |
| ; One topic left for an additional developer
| |
| *
| |
| | |
| == Output ==
| |
| | |
| Three automated generated apps:
| |
| * Medical encyclopedia (English)
| |
| * Encyclopedia of Venezuela (Spanish)
| |
| * Wikivoyage (English)
| |
| | |
| == Impact ==
| |
| Kiwix for Android is now well installed in the Android landscape, global rating is really good (4.33/5) and the most successful offline reader for Wikimedia project. But, although this good performance, we only 25.000 users having it installed. We think that the app under-performed in term of audience. To our opinion, one of the main reason is that it is too complicated to have separated downloads between apps and content. Having one dedicated app per content should help us to reach a broader audience and increase the number of Kiwix users by many factors.
