Cantook by Aldiko

This is just the app I hoped to find. Nice clean interface, easy to flip between pages & reach the desired page (unlike many pdf readers). The best part for me is being able to upload pdf bookscans & have them in a library ready to read as desired. Another bonus, I haven’t met any pesky ads or prompts for paid services - much appreciated :)

Not even worth a star. It does not even allow you to reset a forgotten password and the help menu has literally no content other than “not supported”. It is an absolute disgrace.

I previously had an issue with look up and translation features for selected text. Since updating to the latest version, that issue has resolved. Cantook is working well for me to read in my target language.

Preferred this back before it became Cantook. Now books don’t register formats of text like italics or bold font. Guess it’s time to check out other readers for something better.

Hi Cantook team, After the update the option look up is not available, this is a very important option when reading a book since it allows you to read the definition of a word without exiting the app.

Hope there are plans to implement OPDS 2 Divina profile to support streaming comics page by page from a server. As it is now, the app is an okay, but clunky feeling, comic reader.

Iimited value. Can only underline or highlight. Can’t copy passages or references.

Line spacing feature is needed. When l enlarge the text size than the two lines almost mingle together. And another one, that is when I read as example “chapter 145” than content list should remain in “Chapter 145“ , but in app when content list open again it start again from “chapter 1”. And also you should add a feature that can enable to erase search history.

Who knows if this app is any good? It’s impossible to import any Readium LCP .LCPL files exported by the University of Chicago press. When following the UChicago instructions, attempting to load the verified and downloaded .lcpl file simply produces the unhelpful notice “Import file failed, please try again later”, with no explanation WHY the import failed. The same .lcpl file imported fine with Thorium on the Mac, so the only interpretation that can be made is Aldiko Next is unable to properly support .lcpl files for Readium LCP content.

I honestly love this app above all other epub reading apps i’ve found. however lately, whenever i leave my book, i find that when i open the book back up, it restarts the chapter which is really annoying and the app didn’t use to have that issue. i have to be more conscious about bookmarking my spot before leaving the book and the app lest it takes me back to the start of the chapter when i resume my reading. hopefully that gets fixed soon. other than that, i really love this app and i personally find it very easy to use.
