Absolutely terrible. The original was fantastic and well polished. It was easy to use and very full featured. This new version feels rough and unfinished. Would go back to the old version in a heartbeat if I could. I definitely won't be recommending this app to anyone I know. In fact, I'll be recommending they stay far away.

The new version still needs important features. The thumbnails are, of necessity, hard to read, so it would be useful to have a list format to save space. Many downloaded PDFs, such as manuals, have meaningless file names; we need to be able to edit the metadata like we used to. Since I have both a phone and a tablet, I'd like to be able to keep my library on a cloud drive and share it between my devices.

The older version of this app was perfect. This one is unusable for anyone who likes black backgrounds. The app controls are black no matter what color background you choose, so if your background is black, you can't see the controls so you can't change brightness or anything else unless you want to guess where to tap (which I had to do every time I used the app). They also removed the nice gesture-based brightness changing mechanism, which was 90% of what I loved about the original app. Basically, they locked me out of the old, good app and forced me to use this one, which was apparently never tested on real humans. The old Aldiko app was my favorite reader for Android. This one is pointless, since it's no better than Kindle, or a thousand other reading apps. Also, when I "upgraded" to this new app, I lost all my old books and had to reload them. There was a "keep your library" button but it didn't work.
