🔄 How do I restore or cancel a subscription?
Restore: Settings → Restore Purchases. Cancel: in the App Store app → your account → Subscriptions. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.
📤 How do I get my data out?
Settings → Export library CSV. Export is always free — your library is yours.
🔒 Is my data private?
Yes. Everything stays on your device. The only thing that leaves your phone is the text you type when searching for a book — sent to OpenLibrary to fetch covers — and purchases, which Apple handles. See our Privacy Policy.
🗑️ How do I delete everything?
Settings → Delete all data. This is permanent. Deleting the app also removes all of its data.
