One of the most common questions users ask is: “How do I sync my Book Tracker library between devices?”
Book Tracker uses Apple’s iCloud service to keep your books, reading progress, notes, and statistics updated across iPhone, iPad, and Mac — without the need to create an account.
How to enable iCloud sync on iPhone and iPad
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Tap your Apple ID at the top.
- Select iCloud.
- Scroll to the Apps using iCloud section and tap Show All.
- Find Book Tracker in the list and make sure the toggle is ON (enabled by default).
How to enable iCloud sync on Mac
- Open System Settings.
- Click your Apple ID in the sidebar.
- Select iCloud.
- Scroll to the list of apps.
- Find Book Tracker and make sure it’s enabled.
Things to know about iCloud sync
- Same Apple ID required → You must be signed in with the same Apple ID on all devices.
- Automatic sync → Once enabled, changes you make (adding a book, updating progress, adding a quote) appear on all devices after a short delay.
- No extra account needed → Sync works entirely through iCloud, so you don’t have to register or log in separately.
- Privacy first → Your library is stored in your private iCloud account. Book Tracker never has access to your data.
Troubleshooting iCloud sync
If your devices don’t sync correctly:
- Make sure Book Tracker is enabled in iCloud settings on all devices.
- Open Book Tracker on each device so it can refresh with iCloud.
- If problems persist, see the guide: iCloud sync is not working — how do I fix it?.
Best practices
- Always confirm iCloud is enabled before adding books on a new device.
- Open the app on all your devices regularly to keep the sync active.
- Make a manual backup before troubleshooting sync problems, so your data is safe.
✅ With iCloud sync enabled, Book Tracker automatically keeps your entire library and reading history updated across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
