Hi Rajeeb,

Thanks for reaching out, and I hope this finds you in good health as well.

Right now it would be great for us to know from more people about their
experience using the app. So, if you do have access to a
KaiOS/Jiophone device, and are able to view the app, your feedback (first
hand or from others users known to you) would be very helpful.
Additionally, the UI messages for the Wikipedia KaiOS app need updates
occasionally on translatewiki.net[1]. Do feel free to keep an eye out if
that is of your interest.

best
Runa
