kiwix android3.8.1 cannt to search
1 project | /r/Kiwix | 9 Dec 2023

Thanks for checking that. So it seems like we have an issue with UTF8 search for mutli-byte character sets. I've opened this issue on GitHub to investigate further: Search appears to be broken with Chinese characters (possibly all UTF-8 multibyte characters).
Cant add Zim file to app.

Looking further it looks like 3.6.0 used to be on f-droid https://www.reddit.com/r/Kiwix/comments/wxaf88/kiwixandroid_360_available_on_fdroid_major_fix/ but was pulled all the way back to 2.4 due to containing non FOSS. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues/30910 which looks like isn't slated to be fixed until 3.7.0

Question About Kiwix & Android
1 project | /r/Kiwix | 8 Apr 2022

Never had such a problem with my Pixel4 but I would totally suggest you open a ticket on github describing the issue.
Kiwix can't read file from internal or external storage.
1 project | /r/fossdroid | 10 Mar 2022

It's a known issue and should be fixed with the next release, but feel free to open a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues

That's an unusual issue - would you mind opening a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues ? (basically indicate the Android version, device, Kiwix version, etc. so we can try and reproduce)

What's something that would make your life easier on mobile?
1 project | /r/ObsidianMD | 26 Dec 2022

(Some thoughts I had were working on quick input or contributing to the existing widget. Think external app, not plugin since I'm not super-experienced with plugin development)
