Werking van de app

Deze app werkt voor geen meter. Het aanbod komt niet eens in de buurt van de vorige app. De zoekfunctie deugt niet en een deftige ondersteuning in het Nederlands is blijkbaar niet nodig. Spijtig van de overgang van Cloud Library naar Cantook. Dit is waardeloos.

Apple CarPlay compatibility

Kan dit toegevoegd worden aan Apple CarPlay?

Valt erg tegen

CloudLibrary was veel beter, er is enkel categorie fictie en non fictie, moeilijk om zo een boek te vinden, ook boeken die ik op cloudlibrary las kan ik op de nieuwe app niet meer vinden.

Bad app for audio books :(

Audio books: Why is it not possible to rewind beyond the chapter that you are listening to? It is also not possible to choose beteern chapters. Please fix this!

Valt tegen

In tegenstelling tot CloudLibrary, is het in deze app enkel mogelijk om in stappen van 30 seconden voor- of achteruit te gaan. Je kan niet terug naar een vorig hoofdstuk, of zelfs een overzicht zien van hoeveel hoofdstukken er zijn. Heel irritant als je per ongeluk in slaap gevallen bent tijdens het luisteren. De enige optie die ik gevonden heb, is de app verwijderen, opnieuw installeren en vanaf het begin opnieuw luisteren…
Ook de luisterboeken die ik in de vorige app nog uitgeleend had, zijn zelfs niet meer terug te vinden in de bibliotheek?!

Widget

Please fix the widget

Onderscheid e-book, audio-book

Als ik e-books vraag, staan er veel audio-books tussen. Graag beter onderdelen a.u.b.

No entiendo

Descargo un libro y del contenido del libro solo se descarga una parte

va falloir expliquer au client pourquoi vous offrez une expérience aussi désagréable pauvre imbecile

Infuriating app

The most infuriating app ever. I’ve never left a review of an app before but this one just drove me crazy. Cannot open a book I have purchased and have wasted far too much time on this.

STILL no syncing across devices?

Sigh. Please, is it really too much to ask for books to sync so that you can pick up where you left off as you jump between devices? It’s been so long now.

Corrections à apporter

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.

is the app still being updated???

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.

Really good reading app but has a minor issue

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!

LA MEJOR APP DE TODAS

Translation not functioning

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?

Ne fonctionne pas avec les livres achetés

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.

No way to carry notes over to another device

It's so disappointing and frustrating. The reading experience itself is quite good, and note taking is also okay! But I find myself with a thoroughly annotated book, and no way to carry those annotations over to my new device. I can export them as a txt - but no apparent functionality to import them back in. All that work lost with a change of device. Setting up an account doesn't help, and I haven't found any way to contact the devs. Too bad. Watch out before you annotate!!

Fantastic calibre integration

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!

This is great!

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
