Ratings and reviews

Good reader overall. Works well with different file types. PDF navigation/reading options could be better for phone screens. However, since around the last update, I can't navigate out of a book to Home, My Books, etc. unless I close the app completely and reopen it. I hope that's fixed in the next update.

On Android 16, S22, very long delays when opening LCP files. No loading indicator, so I'm unsure when it's stuck or something is taking a long time or I missed the tap target entirely. A few times, had to nuke storage and reimport to get it to open the book. Unable to remove a returned or deleted book (long press context menu empty but for a .).

I originally installed aldiko, and it did what I needed for some time. however, after it changed to cantook it is not great. when I went to attempt to move my files to a better app, I can suddenly no longer find them! they are nowhere to be found in my local files. these are files that I purchased, not from cantook but they are no longer in my local storage and I cannot export from within the app either. Tell me where you hid my books!
