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

It worked at the beginning but now I only see a blank page. I borrowed a book from Open Library but I am unabled 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.

Always the first app I install on a new phone I absolutely loved the bookshelf asthetic and the invisible quick light adjusting slider on the leftside of the screen, both appear to have been removed. I guess I'll just swap full time to the kobo reader app, they look exactly the same now, but that one has a better dictionary function and didn't delete all my stuff. Good bye old friend :-(

Hello, In addition to several new features, Aldiko 4 will offer all the ones that were already available, only improved and made more accessible. We've simply decided to deploy them incrementally. So it is normal that some features from previous versions are not yet available. They will become available as future versions are released.

What's new

- New book import system supporting background downloads.
- Various bug fixes and improvements.
