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.

This new version feels like a bait & switch. What is Feedbooks? I didn't download that app. And I have to rebuild my library? I'm just getting a new app. I only wanted a basic epub reader and this clearly does not fit that bill. I've already got Libby for library books and Kobo for purchases. Stick to what you're good at, Aldiko. Find out what your customers want and give it to them -- don't cram your next big idea onto our devices without consent.

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.

My phone automatically updated to this new version of the app. After telling it that NO, I did NOT want to login to Feedbooks or connect to a library, it informed me that I had to re-import all of my books. The import process is abysmally slow compared to the old version of the app -- ten minutes into the import process, the progress bar had moved only a single pixel. Another ten minutes later, I got a second pixel. Based on the other reviews that I'm already seeing, it looks like this new version is also missing key functionality that the old app had. Needless to say, I'm not going to bother waiting for the import to finish. When I submit this review, I'm going to force close and delete the app and load Aldiko Classic instead.

I used to love this app for reading epub files. The new update destroyed it. Now it's full of ads and my books were no longer accessible! I couldn't access dozens (maybe hundreds) of books, and without the app giving any warning or permission to update. On top of that, of course the transfer feature didn't work. Don't allow automatic updates if you can possibly avoid it!!
