This app will never be like aldiko. it is a poor substitute plain not usefully customizeable. You lost the charm it had in making people feel like the were reading from an actual physical book. I have. gone back to real books. it over heats and drains the battery. Why would try to fix what wasn't broken, If you were bored you should have made a new app not retire a perfecfly awesome app that a lot of people relied on

Thank you to the recent reviews. Once I saw that the name of the app changed, I was sceptical. I read the reviews and won't bother updating. Edit: The devs asked me to explain what i didn't like about Aldiko Next. I don't like that I can't select more than one book to delete at a time. I don't like the bland interface. It used to stand out. Doesn't anymore. Now it's just plain and uninspired. The search features in feedbooks is not optimized. Update 2: Hey. Great job. 1.8 out of 5. lol

I mean, it works. But the page turning mechanics need to be hard looked at. The slightest touch sends you forwards or backwards a page... Which might not be so bad if you have the text at default size, but ramp it up even a little bit and when that page gets turned, you have to scroll back down to where you were. Bad news... you scroll a ton, because the pages get turned a ton. Appreciate its free tho.
