Change Username
Change Username
The username is the login account. You can directly change it to a name that is easy to remember, and then log in with the username. The nickname is displayed in your account and cannot be used for login.
Steps to Change

Reset Password
Reset Password
There are three scenarios for resetting passwords. Account information in the app depends on email recovery. Please be sure to verify a valid email address. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that you can recover a lost account.
Reset Password Scenarios
Forgot Password
If you forget your password, you can recover it through the verified email address of your account and change your password through email instructions.
Steps:
- Click "Forgot Password" on the login screen
- Enter your verified email address
- Check your email and follow the instructions to change your password
Using Third-Party Account Authorization Login
In this case, no password has been set. The same logic applies:
- You can first bind a verified valid email address
- Then reset the password through "Forgot Password"
- You can also directly change the login name, which defaults to a random string
Anonymous Login
On iOS, there is an anonymous login option. Anonymous login can be considered as third-party login, but it resets after uninstallation:
- In this case, there is no password
- You can operate after binding an email
- After binding an email, you can set a password
Important Note
⚠️ Please be sure to verify a valid email address, otherwise we cannot guarantee that you can recover a lost account.

FAQ
FAQ
PDF Blur Issue
Currently, the PDF rendering logic in the app renders image files with pixels corresponding to the screen width. It can be understood that the larger the screen, the larger the rendered image, so there will be a clarity reduction issue when viewing PDF files.
Solution
- This is a normal phenomenon of PDF rendering
- You can adjust the zoom ratio in reading settings
- It is recommended to use PDF files suitable for screen size
EPUB Parsing Failure
Currently, normal standard format EPUB files can be parsed. However, if there are damaged image files or no table of contents information, extraction will fail.
Verification Method
Change the extension to zip and try to extract:
- If extraction succeeds, it can probably be extracted
- If extraction fails, it cannot be extracted
EPUB file problems are mostly caused by this.
Solution
- Ensure the EPUB file format is correct
- Check if the file is damaged
- Try to re-download or convert the file
App Crashes During Reading
App crashes during reading are mostly caused by enabling quality enhancement.
Solution
If the app crashes during reading, please turn off quality enhancement.
Quality Enhancement Description
Quality enhancement uses the local waifu2x model:
- Mobile device performance is very poor
- Will cause overheating, crashes, slowness, etc.
- If the image is not too blurry, it is not recommended to enable
- This is an experimental feature
