Why Your Reading Streak Reset (and How to Keep It)
A reading streak usually resets for one of three reasons: a day was not logged, the date of a record was saved wrong, or the app kept the streak as a separate number that drifted away from your actual records. The first two you can fix; the third depends on the app.
1. You read but did not log it
This is the most common cause. You read in bed, fell asleep, and the day passed without a record. A good reading log lets you add that day afterwards instead of forcing every record onto today.
2. The record landed on the wrong day
If you log yesterday's reading this morning and the app only allows today's date, the pages move to the wrong day and yesterday stays empty. Always check that you can choose the date when you log.
3. The streak is a stored counter
Some apps keep "current streak" as its own number and update it when you log. After a restore, a crash or a phone change, that number can disagree with your records, and you see a 101-day streak drop to 3. Recounting from the records every time avoids this.
How to keep your streak
| Habit | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Log right after you read | No forgotten days |
| Fill gaps from a calendar | Missed days are fixable |
| Turn on an evening reminder | A nudge before the day ends |
| Keep a backup file | A new phone does not erase your history |
How Bookwick handles it

FAQ
Does reading one page count?
In Bookwick, any day with pages or minutes logged counts toward the streak. One page is enough.
My streak shows 0 this morning. Is it gone?
No. If you read yesterday, the streak counts back from yesterday until the day ends. Log today and it continues.
Can I add a day I forgot?
Yes. Tap that day on the reading calendar, or pick Yesterday or an earlier date when you log.
