Can’t save PDFs out of the app

Please add the ability to save PDFs out of the app. Otherwise, works well.

Super limited

The sign-on feature to get access to article files works well, but there’s currently no way to get those PDFs out of the app. Without the ability to send the file to a PDF viewer or save to files, this app is of only very limited use. I contacted the developers who said adding this functionality is on their list, but unsure when. Until then, I really wish my library would go back to its old way of giving me access to files.
