Ratings and reviews

It's a great app - quick, convenient, and allows for downloading from many different sources. However, I encountered quite a serious issue - during the last few months, the entire library got randomly deleted on three different occasions.

can't use external hard drive plugged into usb c port on my phone. I have all the Zim files on my hard drive but it won't let me view the files. this hard drive I'm using I want to be able to plug it into any device and the kiwix on that device will let me view them. phones don't have enough memory to hold all that you have and I'm not ok with just having a few files.

I want to give the app 5 stars, but it is missing a wide variety of improvements...things that would make this app more usable. Let me just list them. Fyi, I'm using a Galaxy S9+ 1. Downloads won't keep downloading unless the downloads tab is open (regardless of settings) 2. Is it possible to open the app on just the main library and not the last article I opened? (personal preference) 3. Disorganized. I'm very thankful there are a ton of choices, but they all seem out of order; by category/language/size, etc. There needs to be a better way to sort through the files (both library and downloadable content tab. Also, can we get check marks to choose multiple things to download instead of repeatedly clicking back to the "online" tab? 4. There should be a way to control downloads more (sort, download settings, speed settings, etc).I want to be able to set one download at a time by default, for example. 5. Constant crashing when pausing/unpausing downloads 6. Can we get a % completed option on the downloads page? Anyway, I really do love this app, but I feel it still needs work. I'm going to continue to use it and use my workarounds. Thank you developers for the effort.
