Large Downloads Freeze & Video Issues
Large downloads freeze permanently. At that point you can only cancel them, not pause. Finger press does not pause. No matter what you do (toggle WiFi etc) they will never restart.

There are issues playing back video. You get a black screen at first and then have to enlarge then exit out then start again to see.

Amazing, great way to access information offline
Have this downloaded on multiple devices, works great, just wish there was an easy way to make my own files but pasting text into something.

We just have released the version 3.3.0 which fixes the UI problem you reported. Give it a try. Let us know!
Chinese Search Results Missing After Update
I’ve been a long-time user of Kiwix and have found it incredibly useful. However, after the recent update, I’ve noticed a significant issue: searching for Chinese entries often yields no results. This is a major problem for users who rely on the app for accessing Chinese content. I hope the developers can address this issue promptly, as it greatly affects the usability of the app for Chinese-speaking users.
