Aldiko Sync

This application is designed to work with the eBook reader Aldiko. It allows you to sync your books and bookmarks across your devices using your Dropbox account.
*
* Note **

The app requires a rooted device to work with Aldiko v2.2.0+. This is because Aldiko no longer allows other apps access to its database.

*
* Note **

If you have an issue with the app, please use the in-app "Report Issue" feature, so I can address it as quickly as possible.

*
* Before complaining about the sync frequency in the Pro version, please read the entry about it in the FAQ here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253576 **

Thanks!

Installed. Failed to open on both devices. Paid on one device, other device said I had to pay again. Nothing clear about it. I guess I will need to do everything manually as this app was very unhelpful.

Unable to use in conjunction with my Samsung Galaxy Tab A to migrate books from the tyablet to my Chromebook via this app. Would like a refund if possible. Thanks,

It just doesn't work, it's rubbish

Wil. A. Sep 19, 2017     

Doesn't work unless you're rooted

San. G. Aug 15, 2016     

Sync works only in the pro version...if it works. Need a rooted device and not Aldiko premium. Cmon

A. G. u. Nov 25, 2016     

Not sure if I trust this app. Instead if a token, they ask for your full Dropbox credentials, thereby giving them access to ALL your Dropbox files. Way too dangerous!

Ann. B. Oct 1, 2016     

Could not install on my paid for Premium version. Apparently older and free version might work. :-!

Sha. A. Feb 6, 2017     

Does not work on non-rooted devices?! Root and void warranty?! How does that make sense?

Tra. C. Mar 9, 2016     

Been using this app for years since CM7. Excellent Tech Support, Super Fast response from developers.

A. G. u. Mar 6, 2016     

This app is a lifesaver. I use it to backup my Aldiko reads between ROM changes and phone crashes and just-in-case moments. I have not really used the sync feature, but I think it would also work very well for that purpose. Sync doesn't take long and if you have the Pro version, I think it would be very convenient. The developer is amazing, and very responsive for support when I had an isolated issue with the app. If you use Aldiko at all and care about managing your reads, you should get this app no question.

Jen. O. Feb 22, 2016     

I spent the money to get aldiko premium which I love. I decided to get this so I can sync my phone and tablet, but I'm getting a message saying that I can't use this with premium? Why is that?

A. G. u. Oct 4, 2015     

This app has to be in my top 5 favourite android apps. Calibre syncs books to my sgs by not by tab. Now I can sync books from my phone to my tablet and to top that I can sync bookmarks. Developer is an amazing guy that responds to emails very quickly. This is one app I could not be without. If you use calibre and aldiko, and have a phone and tablet then this is a must have. Those complaining about the sync notification icon. Try looking in Settings and tick Hide Status Icon.

Ger. S. Oct 6, 2015     

Does exactly what I need. Syncs between my Galaxy S3, Asus Transformer Prime and my rooted Nook. Update: Still using this. support from the developer is first rate, always responds to queries and produces fixes very quickly. Currently sync'ing between Z3compact, Yoga8 and Nook (albeit with older versions of Aldiko on the Yoga and Nook.)

Typo during sync: "Loading dowloaded book list..." Simple fix. The UI is weak by modern terms. It would really be of benefit to see DL/UL speeds and or %complete stats. Most of the "log" text is meaningless and reads like debugging detail. I would honestly prefer a progress bar. Nice work, and accomplishes the goal. I have Great Power and Great Responsibility though. Milage for sheep may vary :-)

Works only on old Google Android 7, not the newer Google Android 7. It's unable to sync to Dropbox. I don't suppose I could get a refund?

Osa. E. Sep 4, 2015     

It is a good app....not! It's an AWESOME app. *However I seem to be having syncing problems on both devices (rooted Nexus7 and Sony Xperia C). I'll definitely give it a five star when this is resolved.* <--silly to keep this I know but what the hell right? UPDATE: It was a network issue...sigh! Both Nexus 7 and Sony Xperia C are properly synched now with all my books appearing on both devices. So always be patient if the app seems to be acting up.

And. H. Feb 19, 2015     

App works wonderful. Had an issue with CM12 and the superuser app they were using. Dev worked with me to solve the issue. This resulted in a new version of the app. Great work.

Mik. D. Feb 14, 2015     

I have been using this app for years and highly recommend it. I had an issue with sync yesterday. I reported the error and received direct support within minutes. They resolved my issue immediately. Very impressed with the application and the support!

Kei. B. Jun 4, 2015     

Great idea and works great between my phone and tablets but was wondering is there gonna be a effort to use any other cloud base storage options like Google Drive?

Dav. J. Feb 15, 2015     

Works as advertised ~ and it's marvelous. UI could use some material treatment.

Col. W. Jul 20, 2015     

Did not open

Joh. L. Feb 12, 2015     

Works great. Customer service is awesome. I have had two seperate issues with this app and both times have had a response within hours and a resolution within less than a day. Well worth the money.

_Zh. Feb 12, 2015     

Awesome app and problems are fixed promptly.

Jos. N. Nov 24, 2014     

The biggest thing that Aldiko is missing is the ability to sync your reading list across devices. This app fixes that. Sure you need root, but that's Aldiko's fault not the developers. The developer is quick to respond to any issues. Great app, great service.

Man. N. Jan 23, 2015     

The app.is awesome but I have run into a nice problem. If I rename a book or change its author in aldiko the book is deleted and placed in trashcan on dropbox and removed from Aldiko completely

Hri. G. Feb 11, 2015     

Never could log on to Dropbox.

Jua. P. Nov 24, 2014     

Does the job and does it great.

Mar. H. Aug 21, 2014     

Before the recent update, my books failed to sync to my DropBox account. I contacted the developers about the issue and not only did I received a personal response within a hour, I was promised a working version by the end of the day. The updated version was published before day's end. Amazing service guys! Without you guys, Aldiko would not be the best eBook reader.

Man. A. Nov 15, 2014     

I love this simple app; read on my tablet, put it down, move to my phone, pick up where I left off. Looking forward to future updates with more syncing options! Support is top notch, 24 hour turnaround on my emails, never rushed support, always step by step. Happy Customer over here! :)
