    On my Bookly app it only states 8 hours of reading as my goal, does that increase once I’ve read 8 hours? I want my goal to be the highest 15+hrs.

    Thank you!

      Hi there! 👋 Yes, your goal will increase as you will get over 8 hours to read. Happy reading! 💙

  2. Everytime I go on the app it keeps saying I’m not registered for the readathon even though I’ve pressed the register button numerous times and also filled out the online form

      Hi Jade! 👋 There seems to be a display issue with the way the Stats screen Readathon card shows whether you are registered or not. It shows you are unregistered even though you are registered. If you go to the Readathons page, at the bottom of the Stats screen, you will see that in fact you are registered. We will fix this issue in the next update. Happy reading and good luck! 💙

  3. I’ve read for over 3 hours and the progress states I’ve read for 0.7hrs… why would that be?

    • gabrielle Reply

      Uh-oh! This sounds like something only our support team can help with! We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Please write an email to them at support@getbookly.com and they’ll make sure to help you out. Thank you! 💙

    Every time I check it tells me I’m not registered. I registered before it started and I try everyday but still it kicks me out. Is there a way to fix it?
