Frequently asked questions

How do I add a book?

Tap the + button on any tab. You can scan a barcode, batch-scan several books in a row (they're added straight to Next Read, no review step needed), photograph the cover if there's no barcode, or type it in manually.

What does Batch Scan do?

Point your camera at one ISBN barcode after another — each book is looked up and added to your Next Read list automatically, so you can get through a stack quickly. You can still adjust a book's shelf or add a rating right from that screen, or edit it later from your Library.

Why does the app ask for camera access?

Camera access is used only for scanning barcodes and photographing covers to look up a book — see our Privacy Policy for exactly how photos are handled.

How do I import my Goodreads library?

Export your library from Goodreads as a CSV, then import it from Settings in Next Read. Books already in your library (matched by ISBN) are skipped, not duplicated or overwritten.

How do I get my data out?

Settings → Export Data. You'll get an instant CSV or JSON download of your entire library, right on your device.

How do I delete a book, or my whole account?

Removing a book from your Library is instant and recoverable for a while afterward. For a permanent deletion of a book or your entire account, email support@get-nextread.app and we'll take care of it.

I'm having trouble signing in.

Next Read only supports Sign in with Apple. Make sure you're signed into iCloud on your device, then try again — if it still doesn't work, email us and let us know what error you saw.
