Currently the Random feature is almost at the bottom of the feed, so it is hard for users to discover the feature in iOS.

This will require a two day test to verify.
- Install the app and open the Explore feed
- Verify that a Random Article card is included in the initial content on Explore
- 24 hrs later, open the app, and pull to refresh the Explore feed
- Verify that there are now two Random cards in the feed

@JMinor since this is still in development I will check on it again tomorrow with the next build. Random article cards themselves load.

Testing on iPhone 6S (iOS 9.3.4) with Wikipedia 5.1.0 (913.1). The current Random article I'm getting is Lega Nord Romagna. (I have "Saved for later" the article to keep note of this.) I will check back tomorrow to see if it has changed.

Testing on iPhone 6S (iOS 9.3.4) with Wikipedia 5.1.0 (915). Not only has the Random article changed after following the above steps, but there are now not two but three Random articles in the Explore feed. I'm marking this as fixed as I'm considering this intentional (that there was at least more than one Random article in the Explore feed).
