I like it, and yet... it's frustrating. Copying of articles is very hit-&-miss. I understand each article is from a wide range of different journals or media sources & each may impose their own policy on this. But I'm not interested in read-once-&-forget it... I save some useful material to folders as background research to which I want to refer later. Can't do that if I can't save the material in some kind of format. This isn't an unreasonable request. I'm not trying to re-publish it, I just want to be able to access it easily later: to use it as worthwhile info. If that isn't allowed I won't waste my time reading it in the first place.

I always had to delete or worse yet open then close a "briefing" or whatever to get it out of my way. I guess it was bloatware shipped with the note5. I wasn't able to delete it completely it still has the original version taking up storage space. I use this note 5 as a ground station for several unmanned aerial systems. I don't need no stinking briefings.

Like others, I wish we could uninstall bloatware. But that's not why I'm here. I've already disabled the app and rolled it back and cleared data. Now it wants to update again. No. Just stop. I use a different app, one that's easier to navigate. Funny enough, I'm not even sure this was on my phone prior to the Android 10 update. A waste of space. A waste of time to delete data and permissions.
