Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Fixes the downloads screen not working if a journal title or another information is missing
- Fixes a sync issue where articles that were favorited/hidden would be overridden when new articles are fetched on another device
- Adds a missing sync trigger for the saved queries
- Fixes the home screen sorting by applying the primary sort option, then sorting by DOI. That should prevent publication cards from changing order when hiding a card
- Translation updates
