Ok. Hi! I'm the one who made that review. So I will admit I probably shouldn't have tried spam downloading files in the app. But I tried installing multiple Wikipedia categories and some of them would randomly stop downloading and just say "waiting to install" as if I didn't have enough storage. As I mentioned before, I have plenty of storage. However, each time I would try to download another file, it will change the storage warning number (already negative) to an even more negative number (likely based on the size of the download). I don't have screenshots, as I had already uninstalled the app and reinstalled after making the review. I could attempt to recreate if needed. Thank you.

@RLouis6194 Thank you for your quick response. I have done my research. The issue you are facing with version 3.13.0 is due to the DownloadManager it downloads the ZIM files on it's on thread and give the update with some delay, and due to this, it was showing negative storage. But this issue is already fixed since we have replaced the DownloadManager with the Fetch library for downloading the ZIM files, and now, it is showing the correct available space in the device. See the videos below.

Version 3.13.0

Version3.13.0.mp4

Current version 3.14.0

Version3.14.0.mp4

However, each time I would try to download another file, it will change the storage warning number (already negative) to an even more negative number (likely based on the size of the download).

Apart from this, the second issue, you have described about the 70GB is free space in your device. The 70GB shows your device's total free space, but the app calculates the size of ongoing ZIM file downloads and subtracts it to show the remaining storage to you because that storage will be consumed for ongoing downloads. Your comment verifies this behavior.
However, we have improved many things around downloading functionality you can directly download the fixed version of our application kiwix-universal-2025-01-09.apk. Also, we will release the version 3.14.0 on play store soon.
