[Kiwix-developer] [RELEASE] Kiwix for iOS v1.0

[Emmanuel E. <ke...@ki...>]

Hi

This was a long standing feature request and not the easiest one to
implement, that's why the Kiwix development team is pretty proud to
announce the release of Kiwix for iOS v1.0.

With Kiwix for iOS you can easily download/read recent snapshots (with
or without pictures) of all Wikimedia projects with your iPhone/iPad.
This first version of the app provides basic functionalities like:
* ZIM reader
* Navigation through articles
* Search based on article title
* Content library/downloader
* Bookmarks
* Browse history
* iTunes sync (already in beta testing for v1.1)

The app has been developed for the last 18 months by Chris, a New-York
based developer. He was (a bit) mentored by an older member of the Kiwix
dev team and the project was supported by WikimediaCH for the
administrative work with Apple and the coverage of mandatory hardware costs.

With this last stone, Kiwix which is already available for Windows, OSX,
Linux and Android, has reached a milestone. 10 years after the project
creation, Kiwix is a a cutting-edge solution to access Wikipedia (and a
lot more) offline - with most of the computers - whatever the platform.
