Aldiko Book Reader for Android
I really liked the previous version but since updating the app today it severely disappoints. The first .pdf I downloaded came up as already on the system and after tracking the file down I opened it to find a blank page. Almost every time I go from page to page an ad pops up. When I searched FAQs there was nothing close to the question I asked (answer was almost random) and I was unable to get a request to Support thanks to Capture not working. If you have an older version do NOT update to version 3.0.38. Can you uninstall an update? Please say you can! If you can't I will be looking for a new book reader.
This is a very good ebook reader. The only thing I have issue about this apps is, I used to be able to change the brightness level. Now, it's stuck to a certain level which is too bright. Please check this problem, or I will migrate to other apps to ease my eyes strain, which I would rather didn't do. Thank you.
Frustrating yet potentially great app. It converts Gutenberg books very well indeed, has excellent reading features that even Kindle & Kobo lack (leaves eBook reader in the dust) but, distinct problems persist. 1. No sync across devices (Android). 2. Exceedingly problematic log in - both on app or on website. 3. Support require a formidably long list of questions answered before they'll even look at the issues
Had this app on an older tablet and I loved it! When I recently got my new tablet I put this app on it immediately! Now I'm seriously about to delete the app, I'm CONSTANTLY bombarded with ads to where I can't even read for more then a few minutes!! It's no longer fun to read! What's even worse??!!!! I'm reading next to my child and an add pops up for a dating service showing 2 men having sex!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? HOW inappropriate!! Fix this or I WILL BE DELETING! Rest of features are still great and easy to use.
Hi, I has using this app for 5 years now and have to say it is a great work. Thank you! Just a bit issue recently, I'm reading and the app keep turning pages, I wasn't touching the screen at all, not even volume button, I haven't finish that page @@ please can you see what the issue is because that is like my phone got haunted or possessed hahhah OK not fun please fix TT.TT
The app itself works well, but DON'T have s problem. After reinstalling the app, I lost all my previously imported books. On trying to contact customer service and failing to get any response! I find I am now locked out of the customer service page?! SOME CUSTOMER SERVICE?!
Good app, but night mode does not work on my Galaxy S8+ or on Galaxy Tab 2S - the screen just turn black. Works good on my LG G3
It would be perfect if you could add a more realistic page turning effect. Also, the page turning is slow to respond on time. Everything else about this app is really user friendly.
Made the mistake of updating the app. Now I can't access my books because I don't have DRM access. Never linked one & never had an issue before the update. Also never had ads before the update. Had 3 in the few minutes I tried to access the book I was reading. Seems like I might need to try to make use of some manufacturer/carrier-forced bloatware for my books now.
Was considering buying full app until the latest update. Can no longer read any of my books because it says I don't have DRM rights. Contacted support but they have been no help
I used this app on my kindle for a long time and was dismayed to discover that it can no longer open mobi files, not to mention the adds everytime I open the app. It only appears to be supporting epub and adobe acrobat reader files now, So sadly; thumbs down
The apps absolutely great for reading but there isn't a search option for finding books in the library, need to work on that maybe
By far, hands down the best digital reader app I have used , and I've used a lot. Used to read in universal reader . This one is my daily driver for the past 3 years .
The one problem I have with it is that there is no night mode. I can change background and text colours within the book but the menu is still white.
The only problem i have seen with this app is not being able to zoom in on pic or maps given in the book. In epub format.
Can't zoom in beyond a point. Not going to spoil my eyes trying to squint & read non-zoomed text. Please resolve!
Just updated software of my phone suddenly cannot open this app. Been using this since 2013 not happy.
The moment i open this app my music shoots to the max volume. I don't appreciate the unnecessary pain.
Please remove "No X selected" page when switching from book view to authors or collections. Waste of code and time.
Decent reader, with a new feature: adds. Shame.
Can't sync between android and ipad. Hope developers takes a note of this issue.
Total headache to use, berated with ads. Not what it used to be.
Aldiko reader is a very good app but it would be better if there was a search option. I have a lot of ebooks and it's hard to keep strolling down
What happened to the permissions free version? It used to be a great book app.
App crashes when i open a book and restarts my phone
It was good, but the audio bug is really annoying and to me, makes impossible to use
I am a bookreader. And i find it easier for me to mark where i left. Aldiko automatically does that for me
Great reader better than most been working for me since last year no worries yet
very useful and simple app for reading book!
Buggy. When importing a book, sections of the epub are missing.
It's an amazing app. I love reading books nd certainly this would be an app which I would prefer.
It's a great app. I've been using it for years without any complaining.
Its a great app but we need some new books for free hehe
best epub app ever
Does not support arabic
There are no font options.
Very good. I recommend to all. Easy to use. No ads while data is off.
Too many adverts

As a college student who uses PDF textbooks almost exclusively, this app is amazing. I was worried switching from an iPad to an Android tablet that I would have trouble finding a good app to read textbooks on, but this is definitely not the case anymore. It lets you bookmark pages and search for words and phrases, as well as highlight sections and look them up later, separate from the page bookmarks. I haven't used the app to buy or read any regular books yet, but, as a PDF reader, I highly recommend it.
