Help & questions
Hi, I’m Wick! Here are the things people ask me most.
Who is Wick?
I’m your reading buddy, a little candle! My flame shows how your reading is going: I glow when you’ve read today, flicker in the evening if your streak needs a few pages, get sleepy when you’ve been away, and throw a party when you finish a book or earn a badge. Tap me at the top of the screen to log your pages.
What’s the Reading Trail?
Every 10 pages you read (or 20 minutes you listen) moves your lantern one step. Finishing a book is a 5-step jump. Reach landmarks to earn badges, and finish a trail to unlock the next one.
How do I log my reading?
Tap ＋ Log on a book in Currently reading, or tap the Today card at the top of Home. Type the page you’re on, or use +10 / +25 / +50. Forgot to log last night? Tick “I read this yesterday” so it counts for yesterday’s streak. No signal? It’s saved on your phone and sent when you’re back online.
What do the statuses mean?
To read: on your list, not started. Reading: you’re in it now. Read: finished. Paused: set aside for now, your place is kept. Didn’t finish: you set it down, and that’s okay! Whether you own it, want it or borrowed it is a separate tag.
I read lots of books before using the app. How do I add them?
Go to You → Add books I’ve already read, tap the ones you’ve read, and choose Mark as read before the app. They fill in your history without changing today’s streak or challenges.
What keeps my streak going?
Logging pages (or minutes) on a day, or finishing a book that day. Reading yesterday still counts until the end of today, so you have a little grace. Once a week a 🧊 streak freeze covers a missed day for you automatically. Wick flickers in the evening if your streak needs you.
The page count is wrong for my copy
Open the book, tap 📚 About, then Change page count (or Change length for audiobooks). It only changes it for you, and your progress uses your number.
How do challenges work?
Pick a yearly goal, a bingo card that fills with stamps, read-what-you-own, or a monthly theme. Books you finish count automatically.
Who can see my books?
If your shelf is Public, anyone with your friend code can follow you and see your books and public lists. If it’s Private, you approve each follower. New shelves start Private. Change it in You → Privacy.
How do I add friends?
Friends → ＋ Add friends. Share your friend code or QR code, or search for readers by name.
What does Premium include?
Every Reading Trail, unlimited challenges and lists, your full Year in Review, extra themes and stamp sets, photo profile pictures and unlimited Surprise me. Books, scanning, imports and friends are always free.
Can I take my books with me?
Yes. You → Export my books downloads a spreadsheet that Goodreads and StoryGraph can import.

Import books
Bring your reading history from another app. Download your export file there, then choose it here. Each book is looked up online for its cover and details.
On a phone, the file is usually in Downloads. If it came by email, save the attachment first.
📚 Goodreads
On goodreads.com: My Books → Import and export → Export Library. Choose the CSV it gives you.
🌳 StoryGraph
On thestorygraph.com: your profile picture → Manage account → Export StoryGraph Library.
🏛️ Libby (library books)
In Libby: Shelf → Timeline → Actions → Export Timeline → Spreadsheet. We turn the timeline into one entry per book: borrowed books come in as Read (dated when you last had them), holds as To read.
🎧 Libro.fm
On libro.fm: My Library → Export (or go to libro.fm/user/library/export.csv while signed in). Your audiobooks come in as owned.
📱 Kindle and Amazon
Amazon doesn’t let other apps read your Kindle library. The easy way: in the Kindle app, turn on Goodreads sharing so your Kindle books land on Goodreads, then export from Goodreads (above).
🔊 Audible
Audible doesn’t offer an export. Add your Goodreads export instead, or add audiobooks with the ＋ button.
