Love the app and wish I had found it years ago. My only complaint from bad experience so far Is that it seems too easy to inadvertently delete books either by curiously or mistakenly clicking on the tick button that is under each book listed in the bookshelf. At least on my iPad there is no indication that the tick button is to delete a book; and in my mind I see no logic that a tick button is a delete function? It would be helpful if there was a requester "are you sure you want to delete this book?" and/or to change the button to a much clearer trash button? In the help documents it shows "remove" on the button next to the tick icon. I do not see "remove" only the tick icon, hence my confusion and mistakes.

We agree and it is a High Priority item on our developers' to-do list. I just checked and it is in the "In development" column so it should have a "Please confirm" button added soon.

Is an Android version of the app in the works?

Thanks! Reassured to hear not me alone finding this strange.

There really isn't an app.  There's just a mobile version of the website with a shortcut icon: https://support.eatyourbooks.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039594013-Is-there-an-Eat-Your-Books-app-for-iPhone-Android-    


(Sorry - my link doesn't seem to work, but look in the Help section of this website and you will find the page.)

eroachTN - Eat Your Books is not an app. It is a website with a mobile format available. As Deborah has linked to in Help, you can add an EYB icon to your phone home screen so EYB is just a click away.
