[edit]

Your edit summary claims that "The original article about Readdle has obsolete information and inaccuracies." However, according to your draft version, none of the information currently in the article is proposed to be changed except the number of employees — which cannot be changed because it is unreferenced. This suggests that none of the remaining information is obsolete or inaccurate. Please advise. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 10:41, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some proposed changes

[edit]

Replace key_people information at Infobox: "|key_people = Igor Zhadanov (CEO), Alex Tyagulsky (CPO), Andrian Budantsov (CTO), Dmitry Protserov (Director), Denys Zhadanov (VP)[1]"

Replace num_employees information at Infobox: "|num_employees = about 125 (February 2018)" (https://readdle.com/about).

Remove "Ukrainian" from the first sentence due to Readdle is actually a world wide company located in Ukraine and Silicon Valley (https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/29/readdle-hires-apple-mail-engineering-manager-to-work-on-spark/).

Add after "based in Odesa, Ukraine" - "and San Jose, California, United States.[2]"

Replace "33 million downloads" with "65 million downloads.[3]"

Add after "Their most notable products are PDF Expert and Spark" - "In March 2017 the former leader of the Apple's Mail app engineering team, Terry Blanchard, joined Readdle as VP of engineering[4]."

Removed sentence

[edit]

Hi. I removed this sentence because there are two aspects that make no sense to me:

"Readdle originally focused on the creation of document-related productivity tools for the consumer market, with a recent addition of a business-oriented subscription-based model."

1) I don't know what a "document-related productivity tool" is. It's jargon, so a wikilink could help, or turning it into plain English 2) I understand what a "business-oriented subscription-based model" is but it's about pricing not about product, so it doesn't fit in a sentence that begins 'originally we just made X but now we also make Y'. In this case, X will become clear when you answer the point above, but Y doesn't seem to be a product.
