Comments:
`Great app but since at least Android 8, cannot change the font size. Pressing the 3 dots at the bottom right that appear after long-pressing anywhere on the screen has no effect - the dots just flash. If this app could get refreshed, I would gladly pay for it. I verified that the "3 dots" menu works on Android 6 and 7. I'm wondering if it is a permission issue.`,App just randomly crashes whenever I open any file. Haven't gotten a single thing to open without a crash.
I would like the ability to change fonts and add different dictionaries, but still an amazing app. Edit: on my new phone I have also run into the bug where the options menu can't be opened. Needless to say, this is a huge problem. Lowered the review to two stars.
Excellent app, use it everyday. If anything, I just wish it had J-J dictionary support and maybe an option to display text vertically.
to change font size: long touch, touch the 3 dots on the lower right, choose "text size".'
