It seems that Big Manga is making a push behind the scenes again, which is why I'm coming to rely on this buggy li'l app for my manga needs.

I've encountered all the bugs I've read reported in this forum like booting without a backlight or not being able to find the WiFi, but the problem I run into the most is intermittent freezing. The app simply stops responding and hangs. I have to hold down the power button to force quit, then reboot after that. Sometimes UMR will go for days without a hitch, then like today, I had to reboot five times before it allowed me to read without issue.

Are there any settings I could have missed somewhere along the way? Have any of you run into this level of instability? Did you fix it? If so, how? Please share! Thanks!
I've had a similar problem, but learned to work around it. Each time you turn on the app, you have to immediately cancel connecting to wifi (except in situations where wifi is available and you do want to connect online). Otherwise it crashes and requires a restart. I have a magnetic cover and unfortunately it I put device to sleep mode, while in UMR, opening it turns it on (even if it's disabled in nickel options). So you need to cancel wifi immediately, in this situation as well. Anyway, experience was frustrating at first, but now, knowing this, I'm able to enjoy my mangas without a hitch.
