아니무슨 광고가 이렇게 많아

학술어플에 왠 광고가 이렇게 많아 ㅡㅡ 못써먹겠음

Effectively useless

Sorting and filtering results is needlessly difficult. In the time it takes me I can just find an actual computer.

Ads are too much

It should be easy to exit an ad. These ads pop up and are hard to leave.

What is this GenBank knock-off?

Not sure if this clunky app the official app for GenBank. Ad every time I open it. Should look just like GenBank rather than a poor overly complex copy

Horrible to search
