Place the "Last updated" time of the articles.
Wikipedia shows the "last edit" time of the article and it's useful to track how recent some info is. I suggest you also include it in wikiwand.
Thank you

[bug] failed to redirect to chapter
Redirection with chapter such as [[Fourier's law]] is properly anchored at the desired chapter; however, if a link in an article is redirected, such as [[Fourier's law|Fourier's law of heat conduction]] in [[Heat sink]], is not anchored down at the chapter.

Contribute to articles by adding pictures or artwork to articles
It would be good if you were able to edit a page with a picture on articles with a blank background. There are waaaay too many articles that do not have a background and it would be good to at least have a button to suggest a background to a moderator which could then upload it or reject it accordingly.

How to use Wikiwand with Mac OS launcher Alfred
If you have Wikiwand installed and use Mac OS launcher Alfred's native Wikipedia search, you will get an error every time. You have to make a custom search in Alfred using this search url format in the custom search dialog menu:
http://www.wikiwand.com/en/{query}
Then, give it a different keyword than the built-in. I use "wkk" (without quotes). Hopes this helps those who use Alfred.

Show left summary on hover
Left summary sometimes can be pretty heavy at the left even if it's useful. Maybe we could have the option to show it only on hover like in windows 8. I suggest to have it transparent and it can also appear a bit like apple icons when we hover on every chapter. It could also appear without reducing the text but on it or maybe by reducing opacity of the part of the text behind.

Add a button or a menu to access the header image
In the current layout the header image is partially covered by the article itself and there is no way to view the image in one peace without the covering except opening the original wikipedia page. Could you please add a button or a menu to access the image?

Custom quote link URL
Restore the selected text link option, please.
[One used to be able to <right-click> selected text and get a URL which directed to the selected text quoted as a sort of header preceding the relevant article. Was handy for email and social media.]2 votes -
to change the interface to other colours such as blue apart from black and white.
Hope it will be possible to change the interface colour to other colours apart from the currently existing black and white. The colour blue will be a cool new edition. You may visit www.bmj.com to get my idea.

Persistent Search Bar
The top bar which also include search should remain as we go through the article... so that we could search and go to another page while in the mid of previous page... and we don't have to come to the top to search for something...

alongside entertainment, YouTube became also a rich source of education and science .

Table with fixed header on scroll
We all know there is one sort of really great wikipage, the comparison series,
like http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Comparison_of_video_codecsIt is really great to have these great compilations of information, but, unfortunately,
most tables are just too long to browse. It would be really easy to get lost while scrolling
down the table.I am wondering if Wikiwand is thinking about improving that?

Any chance to make the Font & Bkg COLORS of left-side Table of Contents, have a +readable contrast? It's white on gray!
Any chance to make the Font & Bkg COLORS
of the *** left-side Table of Contents ***,
have a more readable contrast?
Font vs Background colors are
currently white on gray...Makes it hard for the User
to browse / read the TOC,
for other items of interest...
in the same page.Maybe allow the User to set the TOC colors?

make tables easier to use
For example:
http://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_Internet_top-level_domainsI searched for "clothing" in the page. When I got it, I didn't knew what those 2 "green yeses" were... If the <th> tags were sticky, it would be better.
just a suggestion

Enable infoboxes on all sites
When you hover on a link on wikiwand, an infobox opens up. It would be great to have this behaviour on all websites with wikipedia links. Perhaps as an opt-in behaviour.

button for stopping animated images
Images are nicely placed in wikiwand.com but reading an article having an series of images that is changing with the time (a gif for example) it's hard to concentrate on the text. (have a look at: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Wave_packet). What do you think of the idea to insert the possibily to stop the motion by a click on a special button within the image. Blocking the motion by default is not a good idea because sometimes it's enough to see the motion to understand the principles without reading the article

Scroll a line less
When using the arrow keys to scroll between subtitles, the subtitle itself is hidden from view which is highly annoying. NOT a hard thing to fix.
