Knowledge is power… making this app nuclear powered

Honestly, I’m just really surprised at how much safer I feel having this information available to me no matter what. I might not have time today to read up and learn on specific skills I would need in an off grid or worst case scenario, but having this app allows me to have it if I do ever need it. Plus the app doesn’t make you create an account which is really nice.

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.
