Something You Should Know About the New Update (Version 2.1.0)

We hope you enjoy the new update (version 2.1.0). As you may have been aware, we have made some changes to the user interface of the app. In this post, we will highlight those changes to help you adapt to the new UI more easily.
  • My Catalogs
“My Catalogs” is now moved to the Store section. To access “My Catalogs”, please tap on the “Store” icon on the home screen of the Aldiko Book Reader app, you will be linked to the Store section of the app. After that, please tap on the menu key of your device, you should be able to see the “My Catalogs” option. Tap on it and you will be there.

For new users, you may ask how I can make use of the “My Catalogs” feature. If you would like to buy books from bookstore that is currently not in the Store section of the Aldiko app, you can add the URL of the bookstore in “My Catalogs” (just by entering the store name and the store’s URL). After that, you can browse, shop and download books from this bookstore directly inside the  app. (If you would like to see your favorite bookstores integrated into the Aldiko app, we recommend you to send your feedback to the bookstores.)

  • Recent Reads

Many of you requested us to make the “Recent Reads” section like the one in Aldiko version 1.0, we heard you. One of the biggest changes you may notice is the brand new home screen,  there are now 4 icons on the home screen instead of 6 to make the user interface more simple. In addition, we have added the “Recent Reads” section on the home screen. The “Recent Reads” section shows the books that you are currently reading. You can scroll the books horizontally to see the complete list of the books that you are currently reading.

  • Dictionary

Improving the dictionary feature was one of the most frequent request by all of you. The good news is that we are currently working on it; the bad news is that we had to remove this feature temporarily. Therefore, the dictionary feature is not available temporarily in this update. We hope to bring it back as soon as possible.
