The update to the new version could have been handle better. Importing the old library was pretty slow. Once done the app feels pretty snappy though. My main problem now is that it doesn't remember I set the theme to dark if I also use a custom font. It resets on the next restart. (I use dark red letters on black, for reading at night And If it's not in dark mode then I get white bars above and below my page, kinda defeating the whole idea of a low light, no blue light font.)

Hello, you can either force the dark mode or the light mode or let it adapt to your system settings (this is the first option you see in the app). If it still does not work, please email us at [email protected] so we can look into this. Thank you.

Come on guys. Love the app, but all the adds recently. Mostly the ones that pop up when the app starts and won't let me pass, making the app unusable. No cross to close the add, clicking on the add doesn't work either, not does pressing the back button. Forcibly closing the app and restarting just shows the same add again...

I've used Aldiko ever since my first android phone over a decade ago. Turns out the only then keeping me on this app is being too lazy to switch. Well, good job, the experience has finally degraded to the point where I'm motivated enough to find a replacement. Features are missing. Everything is laggier and slower. Swap to a different app to answer a message and the book is closed when i swap back, have to open it again, while lagging.
