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!

It's clear the developer forgot why people downloaded Aldiko in the past. It's so bad now, used to be simple: open app, see files that were imported, could open one and scrub through it... Finding what I want to read should not be an experience, you're doing a good job when people don't know you're there. Time to find a different reader. Coolreader still works!

More than happy to pay for an app, but not going to subscribe to an ereader, no matter how good the previous version was. Give me a perpetual option or I'll have to find something else. Edit: It's a little disingenuous to reply that you sell a perpetually licensed version at the same time that you announce you're not going to be updating that particular product anymore. I paid a while ago for the full version of Aldiko and I'd be more than happy to pay for the development of a newer product, just not on a subscription basis.

Hello Fred, There's a perpetual option available as well, it's "Aldiko Classic Premium". Update: While "Aldiko Classic Premium" itself won't be updated anymore, it'll work as an unlock key for Aldiko 4.0 (Q1 2019) to unlock premium features. Best, The Aldiko Team
