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

Now Aldiko is my reader of choice. I like the clean readable interface of the app. But I have a couple of annoying problems: 1. In scrollview, even the slightest touch on the screen in any place makes it flip a chapter. 2. In normal view, trying to select text on the top of a page causes the page to turn. I would like to have some additional settings for gestures types or guester zones on the screen screen to solve it. Also the page count is not accurate.

Works very well for me. I just wish cover art wasnt initially stored separately from the ebook file. A lot of my covers were lost during sd to sd tranfer and time consuming to find them EDIT: Downgraded to 1 star. user experience is now very poor and the app no longer brings up all of my downloaded book, even though I have imported all of them. Time for me to find a new reader.
