### 3/5 — Corrections à apporter

*2026-06-21*

Les livres et les documents qu’on rajoutent manuellement ne se synchronisent pas d’une application à l’autre (téléphone + tablette par exemple). Le même problème se produit lorsqu’on télécharge un extrait d’un livre d’un catalogue d’une bibliothèque. De plus, les livres sur l’application se retrouvent dans notre dossier document sur notre téléphone; si nous avons le malheur de cliquer dessus, cela les effacent à la fois dans notre téléphone et dans l’application. Sinon le reste va bien.

### 5/5 — is the app still being updated???

*2026-05-10*

i hope it is. it’s my favorite book reader.

i wish it had the “save style,” like how it looks, that yomu did. because it’s hard to correctly transfer a styling change that one makes from one book to another.

another thing i wish it had is a few more fonts, but if not, that’s all right.

one thing that i’d love is changing how scrolling is tracked in scroll mode while TTS is on, or being able to press and hold a word and the bar pops up and having an option for TTS to start there instead of the first paragraph the page is at when turning on tts mode.

### 4/5 — Really good reading app but has a minor issue

*2026-05-06*

Loving the app so far, but it just has one issue I’m facing. Sometimes swiping right would end up skipping past the entire chapter instead of a single page. Then I have to go back to where I left off manually. 
Could we have more fonts as well ? Thank you!

### 4/5 — Translation not functioning

*2026-02-26*

I use Cantook to borrow and read books in french. Lately, I have been having issues with the Reverso translation apo not functioning.  Anyone else?

### 2/5 — Ne fonctionne pas avec les livres achetés

*2026-02-14*

C’est dommage ajouter les livres achetés format epub/drm ne fonctionne pas du tout. J’ai cherché à comprendre mais j’ai rien trouvé.

### 4/5 — Fantastic calibre integration

*2025-11-20*

I use this as a daily driver for mobi and epub format, as well as the odd pdf. 

I am able to access a catalog of books hosted on a calibre-web docker container, downloads are simple and flawless from within the app. 

It loses a star for not being able to lock orientation in spite of the host OS. When this app rotates it sometimes skips ahead pages and pages. 

Also the font size and justification settings could use some tweaking. I’d like to choose a stable pixel size or number rather than toggle larger and smaller again and again. Could we also play with margin size? 

Would I recommend? Absolutely. It does the job and I’d gift this to family who enjoy carrying a library in their pocket. 

Kudos to the author!

### 5/5 — This is great!

*2025-11-01, version 1.12.3*

Amazing reading app, only suggested features would be custom order in collections and selecting specific books for widgets. Best pdf reading app I’ve used so far tho :D

### 1/5 — Application compliquée

*2025-09-21*

J’ai acheté un livre en ligne dans un cadre scolaire et il fallait absolument utiliser cette application. Sur mon téléphone ça fonctionne mais mal, ce n’est pas fluide, pas d’option de dicter le livre. Sur mon Mac j’ai tout essayé mais rien ne fonctionne.

### 5/5 — Smooth app just like Aldiko

*2025-09-20*

I like the cloud feature and would like to suggest a feature or tab where you could see all your highlighted texts in one place.
