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.
★★★★☆ 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.
★★★★★ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ Mark Wilko · Dec 5, 2024
Doesn't work Every book I tested errors out . When I try to read the books they display different error and the source of the book underneath. No formatted book, just the raw epub file. All these books work in every other reader I own. Mostly used In Moon Reader and Liberia which show the files perfectly... Wish you would go back to your original version when you had the best reader.
★☆☆☆☆ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ Coolidge Russell · Sep 27, 2025
Aldiko used to be an awesome app, read 100s of books on it, then it changed owners and became this can took by aldiko I do not like it. Thankfully I still have the original on my Kindle Fire tablet.
