Have a question?
Account
Do I need to create an account?
Just sign in with Apple or Google, nothing else: no password, no form. Your library is backed up from the first book.
I got a new phone
Sign in with the same Apple or Google account: your library comes back. During the trial, Aldus works on one phone at a time.

Subscription
How much does Aldus cost?
A 7-day trial with every feature, no credit card. After that, Aldus Pro costs €1.99 per month or €19.99 per year, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple or Google account settings.
What if I don’t subscribe?
Nothing is lost: your books stay visible, searchable and exportable, read-only. Subscribe whenever you like to add, shelve and lend again.
Restore Aldus Pro
Settings › Restore purchases, with the same Apple or Google account.
Scanning and adding
What about my books without a barcode?
Search for them by title, or add them by hand: a title and an author are enough.
I already use another app.
Export your list as CSV, then import it from Settings › Import a list. Aldus finds the editions by their ISBN.
A book was recognized wrong
On its page, tap Edit. Your corrections always take priority over the sources.
Shelving
How do I shelve my books?
In the Shelves tab, open the shelf you are putting your books on and tap “Shelve here”. Scan them one after another: each one takes that shelf as its address. Rooms, bookcases, shelves and boxes are named your way.
Data
Can I get my data back?
Yes, at any time, even without a subscription: Settings › Export my library, as CSV, with places and loans.
Where do the book details come from?
From bibliographic sources: the BnF, Open Library, Google Books and ISBNdb. Each book page says which ones filled it in. The details are on the Sources and licenses page. Sources and licenses
