Is it just me?

If syncing or login suddenly breaks for everyone, we post updates to the status page and via an in-app banner. Try there before emailing.

A short
triage checklist.

Nine times out of ten one of these fixes it in under a minute.

  1. 01

    Pull to refresh the chapter list.

    Sources publish new chapters in bursts. A refresh rebuilds the index from source.

  2. 02

    Check you’re on the latest version.

    Settings → About. If the store has a newer build, ours is probably the fix.

  3. 03

    Toggle airplane mode, then retry.

    Re-establishes the network path when a download stalls on flaky wifi.

  4. 04

    If subscription won’t unlock — restore purchases.

    Settings → Subscription → Restore. Forces the store to re-send your receipt.

  5. 05

    Still stuck? Grab a diagnostic bundle.

    Settings → Send feedback auto-attaches one. Saves us a round-trip asking for logs.

FAQ · 03

The top
twelve.

If your question isn’t here, write to trongthien18@gmail.com. Real humans, real replies.

01 The app can’t find chapters on a URL I pasted.

Two common causes. Either the source layout changed (we push adapter updates for popular sites weekly — update the app), or the page is gated behind a login Arc Reader can’t pass through. Email the URL and we’ll look.

02 I paid but Premium features are still locked.

Open Settings → Subscription → Restore purchases. This asks Apple/Google to re-send your receipt to our system. Allow up to a minute. If it still won’t unlock, email your order ID and we’ll match it up manually.

03 How do I move my library to a new phone?

Register an email on the old phone (Settings → Account). Your library syncs up within a minute. On the new phone, install the app and sign in — it downloads the same library. Downloaded chapter files are re-fetched in the background.

04 Can I cancel Premium and keep what I downloaded?

Yes. Everything already cached stays, forever. You just return to the coin-based model for new batch downloads. Cancel from the App Store or Google Play subscription settings.

05 Where do refunds come from?

Because Apple and Google hold the money, they also issue the refund. Use reportaproblem.apple.com on iOS or the refund form in Google Play on Android. If your local consumer law gives you a direct right of return (EU 14-day, for example), write to us and we’ll help.

06 Can I delete my account and all data?

Yes. Settings → Account → Delete account. Synced library, progress, and highlights are purged within 30 days. Cancel any active subscription separately through the store — deleting the account does not automatically cancel it.

07 The app crashes on launch.

Force-quit and relaunch. If it still crashes, reinstall (your cloud library is safe if you registered). If it still crashes after reinstall, email with your device model and OS version — the crash report has likely already reached us.

08 Listen mode stops when my phone locks.

Check that background audio is permitted for Arc Reader in system Settings and that battery-optimisation isn’t throttling the app (Android only). Our player publishes a Now-Playing widget so the OS keeps the session alive.

09 My coins disappeared.

Guest-mode coins are device-local — they don’t survive uninstalling or switching phones. Register an email to keep your balance on our side. If you were registered and a balance is wrong, email your account email and the last coin transaction you remember; we have a full ledger and can reconcile.

10 How do I export my library?

Settings → Account → Export data produces a JSON bundle with your library, highlights, and reading progress. Chapter bodies are referenced by source URL, not bundled, since they belong to their publishers.

11 Is there a desktop or web version?

Not yet. iOS and Android only in v1. iPad is on the list; so is a macOS build via Catalyst. No ETA we’re willing to commit to.

12 I’m a rights-holder — content needs to come down.

Use our copyright & takedown page. A valid notice is actioned within 48 hours — often the same day.

Still there

Whatever it is,
we will fix it.
