Please bring back the old android PDF reader, or reintroduce the old features
I appreciate everything you devs do for us, but the new one is just less functional!
My main issue is the new one doesn't allow "chunky" scrolling (one entire page shown at a time, swiping flips to the next page; never displaying half of one page and half of the other) the absence of which makes the reader so much less pleasant to use. The new reader forces "smooth" scrolling.
It also seems like there's a bunch of issues other people are having with highlighting not working as well, though I don't use highlighting much so I can't speak to that.
I was so happy when I found the bug that let me use the deprecated reader, and I'm kind of heartbroken that said bug was fixed in a recent update. I don't have any suitable replacement apps.

dstillman Zotero TeamYou’re using a beta version of the app, and the new reader isn’t finished. Feedback is helpful, but if you’re finding it disruptive to your work, you should stick to the released version.

dstillman Zotero Team@acutipetalae: But note that, in the new reader, you can still tap along the edge of the page to move to the next page. We may be able to restore Jump (vs. Continuous) mode for scrolling.

acutipetalaeThank you! I think I was on the beta version accidentally; probably because I downloaded the app back before it even had a stable release and it just grandfathered me into the beta.
