I enjoy the information and the broad range of information. I appreciate that the data can be selected for size - either text or text with images.

I have just bought the app. It seems to be good. I am currently downloading data. I see that the last update was in 2017. Is there any thought for a new update soon? I can't find an option to download all data and media at once, so I have to download them one by one. I think that it could be possiible to choose all or some data depending on the capacity of the phone's memory.
