So much potential, but so frustrating

I really want to like this app, but it has some deal-breakers.

First, downloading the English Wikipedia takes an hour or so. Thats understandable. Its a lot of data. The problem is that the download failed several times. Whenever the connection died, the app didnt auto-resume. I had to manually start the download again.

Second, navigating is tricky. Swiping left/right from the edge doesnt go forward or back. I didnt see any forward/back buttons until I selected text on the page. This is very unintuitive. Long-pressing on these buttons does nothing. The only way to see your history is under the bookmarks menu, and that intersperses history across tabs.

Third, the top navbar shows what you last searched for, not the name of the article youre currently viewing. Its odd.

If these UI annoyances were fixed, it would be a totally different experience. Until then, I cant really recommend this app. ☹️
