Comments on Cantook by Aldiko for Android

★★★★☆ Kei · Jan 14, 2025

I love the clean look! Please add the option to select multiple books to add them to a single collection, It's a little tedious having to select one book at a time. A little confusing with the vertical scroll, as well, it isn't really continuous when encountering illustrations and chapters, sometimes I'll accidentally swipe left or right, and I'd have to scroll back down to return reading. Hoping for a fully continuous scrolling feature and a return on the last read section on accidental swipes.

★★★★★ Okeke Precious · Oct 27, 2025

It's nice, I love it because my phone dies very fast on other apps buh not on Can took. I don't know how it's programmed to reduce battery loss buh I love it. Apart from that, it's the best app I've seen so far for reading PDF, like I can even use my volume buttons to next a page😍. It's amazing to be sincere.

★★★★☆ Aarian J · Apr 17, 2025

Amazing app. Simple and Clean interface. Only suggestion is to add an offline pop-up dictionary to search up words. The current define option only works with an internet connection.

★★☆☆☆ Francesca Giordano · Feb 13, 2025

It worked at the beginning, but now I only see a blank page. I borrowed a book from Open Library, but I am unable to read it. It loads very slow, then tapping on the screen or changing to landscape doesn't make any difference. Very frustrating since it is the only reader I seem to be allowed to use to download the borrowed books.

★☆☆☆☆ Abra Cadabra · Jan 31, 2026

Aldiko was fantastic. Can took by Aldiko is horrible. All my books are gone and have to import libraries where the original version would just download books for pay or from public domain.

★☆☆☆☆ Mary Power · Aug 12, 2025

No dark mode and cannot customize reading on smartphone in portrait mode. It did not find the other books already on my phone. A bit disappointed as it's the only book-reader recommended by internet archive, thought it would be better.
