Grand renewal of our Bookmark system
In the user survey we conducted a few months ago, we got a lot of requests to improve the bookmark system by sorting out bookmarks by folders. We overhauled the bookmark system to cater to your requests.

●Folder system

The folder system is the most common way to sort out bookmarks in the industry and we adopted it. Not only can you put bookmarks in the folders, you can put folders in the folders, too.

●Reorder & Move multiple items

Folders and bookmarks can now be reordered. On top of it, multiple bookmarks or folders can be selected and moved to other folders.

We feel that the bookmark system has become one of best in the industry. Nevertheless, if you find anything to be improved on or fixed, please let us know. We will continue to try to make it perfect for you.

●Fixed bugs
- Keyboard opened and closed many times when launching the app
- Tab position was off when tabs were swiped if feed tab was turned off
