Please enable saving without downloading

I want to love this app but I I don’t want all the articles I save to be downloaded as they take up heaps of storage - can you not add an option to turn off downloading or a bookmarking system?

Poor design choice in latest update

There is now an annoying pill that floats over everything as you scroll with community and for you, why is that there? By far my favorite app ever and somebody decided to tinker with it for no good reason.

Recomendo

Aplicativo muito bom, com bom design, interface etc. Funciona muito bem e é ótimo pra estudar

So close

This app is great, so close to being perfect. My main complaint is that sometimes the search bar is at the top of the screen and sometimes it’s at the bottom. Muscle memory is strong and consistency is key!
