Move Your Reading Log to a New Phone Without Losing It

Reading logs usually disappear on a new phone because the data lived only on the old phone and was never copied out. If your app has no account, a backup file is the safest way to carry everything across.

Why records go missing

• The app stores data only on the device and you did not back it up.
• A cloud backup failed quietly and you only find out after switching.
• You restored an old backup over newer records.

Step by step in Bookwick

1. On the old phone, open Settings → Save a backup file.
2. Save the file to Google Drive, or send it to yourself by email or a messenger.
3. Install Bookwick on the new phone.
4. Open Settings → Restore from a backup file and choose the file.

Make it a habit

Settings shows how many days ago you last backed up. Save a new file once a month, and always right before you change phones.

Does Bookwick back up automatically?

Android's own app backup may include it if you turned that on, but Bookwick does not upload anything itself. Saving a backup file is the reliable way.

What is in the backup file?

Your books, reading records, quotes and goals. Covers are downloaded again after a restore.

Will restoring merge with what is on the new phone?

No. Restoring replaces what Bookwick has on that phone with the file.
