The app uses space for caching. For devices with very limited internal storage there is no setting to limit the cache size (or disable it). Is it possible to add some?

Realistically, if your Android device doesn't have 15MB to spare, that's indicative of a much more serious system issue. The Android OS has automatic mechanisms to clear app cache when it detects that storage space is running low.

If we start getting _crash_ reports about running out of storage space, then we might revisit this issue. Otherwise, I'm inclined to mark this one as "won't fix".
