Bookaroo is a reading tracker that keeps your reading on your phone. No account, no server, no advertising.

If something is broken, it helps enormously to include:

• what you were doing when it happened
• whether it happens every time
• your phone and which version of Bookaroo you have (Settings → About)

There is a Diagnostics screen under Settings that records errors as they happen. If you can, open it and send what it shows — that is usually the difference between a bug being fixed and being guessed at.

Questions people actually ask

Where is my reading stored?

In a file on your phone, and nowhere else. There is no account to create and no server of ours holding your library, which is also why we cannot look at it or recover it for you.

So how do I keep a copy?

Two ways, both under Backup in Settings:

• Connect your Dropbox. Bookaroo then keeps a copy there automatically whenever your reading changes. It goes in an app folder — Apps/Bookaroo — and Bookaroo cannot see anything else in your Dropbox.
• Export a file. This writes your whole library as a single file you can keep wherever you like.

What happens if I delete the app, or my phone dies?

Your reading goes with it. This is worth being blunt about: your phone’s own backup does not include your Bookaroo library, on either platform, so reinstalling will not bring it back. If your reading matters to you, connect Dropbox or export a file.

How do I move to a new phone?

Install Bookaroo, then Backup → Restore. Point it at your Dropbox or at an exported file and everything comes back — books, shelves, reading history, quotes and settings.
