Не работает

Простой блокнот сделать не могут! Часть сохранил а потом перестал. Бесконечно чтото грузит но ничего не показывает. Опять индусов наняли?

Small Gripes

I recently upgraded from an iPhone X (iOS 16) to an iPhone 14Pro (iOS 27.0) and noticed the one feature that’s missing is that I can’t save articles directly into a folder like I still can on my old phone, which is annoying.

Also, the touch targets on the small options bar that appears at the bottom of articles are too small; it took me 7 taps to get menu to open to delete an article the other day, it was driving me nuts.

Almost perfect

The only request I would have is to provide a way to quickly scroll back up to the top of an article.
