Response from developer

Dear User, The version of the app you are using is 3.33.0 which is an old version. Would request you to update the app to the latest version from App Store or Play store.

App comes back from death

I eliminated the App some months ago, and it keeps coming back every time I turn off my cell phone or run out of battery like some zombie or virus.

Love this app a lot!!

I love this lite but rather critical app! It changed my habit of reading papers and help build my daily routine as a researcher. However, sometime it is really hard to get connected. Could you please maintain it better? Many thanks!
