TODO

low priority

• Add first time Tutorial for new users to show off functionalities, skipable. // May go to next version only, or will be added later.
• EULA/BT Copyrights on first time run // Need to prepare a EULA.
• Manual add series tutorial for new users

TODO next version only

• let finished downloads stay unless deleted*

maybe ill add an option to "remove complete downloads automatically" for those who dont like removing manually...

Needs rethinking/checking

• Verify clicking mascot in chapter and going to jump to screen.

this mascot (is the icon on the upper left, only shows on newer android versions, like a back button) bug is not checked yet.
