It can't auto detect new books. I have to manually add them in myself. And it tends to duplicate pdf files, and I'll have to delete one copy by myself. This is the best multi format reader on the store imo. It's modern and clean, with all the features needed on an ereader.
The app has since gotten better; the only issue now is that I can't bulk add/edit/remove category tags or authors on the books I have. Also, there's no option to show untagged books (for easily picking out books that need to have tags added to them). Lastly, the older version used to have an option to automatically delete the epub/pdf you downloaded and keep the one added to the app, so that there wouldn't be duplicate files on your device; please bring that option back
I use this frequently, but the ability to manage files is terrible. When you mark a file/book as "delete from the device" ... it doesnt' i removes it from canook, but the file remains in the file system. Also, when any file is deleted, it still shows in teh interface and can't seem to find a "sync" idea where it will only show the books i have on the device and should be updatable.
I originally installed aldiko, and it did what I needed for some time. however, after it changed to cantook it is not great. when I went to attempt to move my files to a better app, I can suddenly no longer find them! they are nowhere to be found in my local files. these are files that I purchased, not from cantook but they are no longer in my local storage and I cannot export from within the app either. Tell me where you hid my books!
I had originally given them 5 stars. Now they only one. I’ve been using Aldiko for two years, read tons of books through it. But recently, they completely overhauled the app, changed the look, the name, everything. And in the process, they wiped out all my books. Every single one, gone from my phone’s storage. No backup, nothing left. I’ll never trust this app again. My advice: do NOT download this app. Delete it immediately before it does the same to you.
