Ratings and reviews

For what the tool is, and being free without ads, the app is great. My only complaint is toward Google/Android in that you can't enable the app to read from an external source (e.g. thumb drive). If you want to view a repository that is 100 GB, you'd need to copy 100 GB to your phone, which is kind of a no-go for most new phones since the manufacturers (like Google) don't give you the option of adding an SD card.

App pauses downloading every time it isnt the main app. There aren't app permissions carved out to download while in the background. This makes it horrible to download large files. EDIT: Re: Developer's change: I tried the download again, but it doesnt seem to have an accurate time remaining (it goes up as time goes on), the progress bar doesn't work, and I'm not getting a sense that I'm downloading anything...

Great when it works. Having offline access to some of the information you can download on here is useful for a multitude of situations. But many files are straight up incompatible with the app, near constant crashes when opening or switching between downloaded files, some don't open at all, and it could use filters to better search for files worth downloading. Ultimately a great idea, but it doesn't run well on my device at least (Google Pixel 6a). Would love to see some stability improvements.
