## Review summary

Most reviews focus on negative outcomes after updates: lost saved pages, inability to save or read offline content, and a degraded, sometimes unusable app. Common complaints include intrusive ads, lack of developer response, and a strong push to revert to the old version. A few notes indicate the app previously worked well for offline reading, highlighting a shift from past strengths to present problems.

- Lack of developer support or responsiveness; posts about unaddressed user concerns and delayed replies.
