Backup and Restore Function

Handling of SD cards on Android varies depending on the device and version, making it challenging to organize backups. To manage backups effectively, refer to the location displayed during the backup operation and move the file using another application that manipulates files. More details on backup and restore procedures can be found here.

Performance Optimization

When the number of registered items becomes large, it may take time to load data, causing the app to stop frequently. Turning off the "Regularly download undownloaded pages" setting can help improve performance.
