What to include

• the app version and the server version (Settings, at the bottom of the screen);
• the phone model and the iOS or Android version;
• what you did, what you expected and what happened — a screenshot helps.

Connecting the app to a server

The app needs a Berth server: it plays the books from your own library and comes with no books of its own. In the server's web admin open Users, press “Connect a phone” next to a user and scan the QR code with the app. Without a camera, tap “Enter code manually” and type the server address and the 8-character code. If the admin gave you a login and password (web admin: Users → Access), tap “Sign in with a login and password” instead.

If the app cannot reach the server, the connection check shows which step failed — address, secure connection, server or code — and what to do next. Away from home, the app switches to the server's internet address if the owner has set one.

Playback and downloads

• The app remembers the position in each book and syncs it across your devices through the server.
• Speed is set per book; the sleep timer can stop at the end of a chapter, and a shake adds 15 minutes.
• Downloaded books play without the network; manage them on the Downloads tab.

Signing out and deleting data

• Settings → All servers → “Disconnect from this server” signs the phone out and removes that library and progress from the phone.
• The owner of the server can also disconnect a phone in the web admin (Devices).
• We do not hold accounts or libraries. To delete crash reports sent from your device, write to us — see the Privacy Policy.

Content

We do not host, sell or distribute books. Each library belongs to the owner of its server. If you think content on a server infringes your rights, contact the owner of that server; we have no access to it. If something is wrong with the app itself, write to us.

Bug reports and the server

The Berth server is open source: issues and questions about installing it are welcome at https://github.com/joveptesg/berth/issues.
