Novely Support

If something does not work or is unclear, write to us. A person answers, usually within a few days.

Before you write

  • Mention your iOS version and iPhone model.
  • Describe what you did and what you expected to see.
  • Do not send medical documents or personal records; they are not needed for troubleshooting.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account?

No. Your library lives on your iPhone. With iCloud on, it mirrors into your own private iCloud database, which we cannot access.

Is there a friends feed or ratings?

No. Novely has no public ratings, reviews or feed. That is a deliberate choice, not a feature we postponed.

Where do covers and descriptions come from?

From Google Books and Open Library, falling back to the Apple iTunes lookup when neither has a cover. The app sends them only your search query or an ISBN. Book data is provided by these services.

Can I move my library from Goodreads?

Yes, via CSV import. You can export a CSV backup or a Novely transfer file at any time.

How do I delete my data?

Delete books in the app or delete the app itself. If iCloud is on, you can remove Novely data in your device's iCloud settings.
