## What it is
The official community-maintained Wikimedia Commons Android app for uploading photos from an Android phone or tablet to Wikimedia Commons. It also supports browsing, searching, categorizing images, and finding nearby places missing photos.

## Use cases
- upload photos from my android phone to wikimedia commons
- share images from my gallery app directly to commons
- find nearby landmarks that are missing pictures on wikipedia
- search and explore wikimedia commons images on mobile
- categorize photos while uploading to commons
- participate in wiki loves monuments photo campaigns

## When to choose
- you want to contribute photos to Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia from an Android device
- you need a free, open-source app available on Google Play and F-Droid
- you want to discover nearby places missing images and help fill gaps

## When to avoid
- you need to upload media to Commons from iOS or desktop
- you want a general-purpose gallery or photo editor rather than a Commons uploader
- you need offline bulk editing of Commons metadata beyond the app's features
