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

The update to the new version could have been handle better. Importing the old library was pretty slow. Once done the app feels pretty snappy though. My main problem now is that it doesn't remember I set the theme to dark if I also use a custom font. It resets on the next restart. (I use dark red letters on black, for reading at night And If it's not in dark mode then I get white bars above and below my page, kinda defeating the whole idea of a low light, no blue light font.)

Hello, you can either force the dark mode or the light mode or let it adapt to your system settings (this is the first option you see in the app). If it still does not work, please email us at [email protected] so we can look into this. Thank you.

Since the last update aldiko gave issues so migrated to this new app. Reading colors are finally fixed. But page turn is horrible. First tap, show android notification bar (specially annoying at night) second tap shows app menu. Thirth tap finally go to the next page. Please allow gently swipe as it was in the old app. For now I use the volume button, but it is not relaxed reading.

Hi, We've done some tests on our side and haven't been able to reproduce this issue. You can start by updating the app and your Android system to the most recent version. This will probably fix the issue. If you still encounter some problems, please contact us at [email protected] so we can look into this. The Cantook Team
