Haven’t had time to respond earlier, but wanted to congratulate the team on a really awesome release!
I really love the Wikidata Description editing and can’t wait for it to ship on English after we are done evaluating it. …And to build on Pine’s comment: It is obvious how much work has been put into the app over the past year. It’s great to hear how old users now come back to the app and find a reason to keep using it. Thanks to the Android team for all their effort!
