## Review summary

Cantook by Aldiko offers a clean UI and solid reading experience, with good support for IA LCP PDFs and cloud access. However, recurring issues include privacy policy concerns, missing annotation features, import/library management friction, and stability problems, which together limit its overall usability despite its reading strengths.

### Pros

- Clean, user-friendly interface and polished UX.
- Good reading experience with adjustable typography and layout (font size, color, background).
- Strong support for Internet Archive Readium LCP PDFs on iPad with straightforward import workflow.
- Cloud feature for syncing access across devices.

### Cons

- Privacy policy and data-tracking concerns (blank Terms/Privacy pages, cookie requirements, and tracking of reading activity).
- Lack of highlighting and note-taking features (no standard annotation capabilities).
- Difficulties with importing/migrating books and limited library management (adding multiple books, OPDS/Calibre issues).
- Stability issues (resume/restage to previous chapter, occasional crashes).
