Terms of Use

Last updated: September 30, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and the developer of Readista (“Readista”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and apply when you download or use the Readista app for iPhone (the “App”), including Readista Pro. By using the App you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the App.

1. The App

Readista helps you track your reading: your library, reading sessions, goals, streaks, notes and a virtual bookshelf. The App is free to download. Some features are part of Readista Pro, which you can buy inside the App.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing. This license is for personal, non-commercial use.

If you got the App from the App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If it conflicts with these Terms, these Terms apply to the extent the law allows.

2. Your content

The books, notes, photos and other information you add (“Your Content”) belong to you. Your Content is stored on your device and is not uploaded to our servers, so you are responsible for keeping backups, for example through iCloud Backup. If you delete the App or lose your device, we can’t recover Your Content.

You are responsible for Your Content and for making sure you have the right to use any photos you add. Share cards you create are yours to share; please respect other people’s rights when you do.

3. Readista Pro and purchases

Readista Pro unlocks additional features such as every shelf theme and décor item, unlimited books and extra shelf rows. The features included in the free version and in Readista Pro may change over time; if we remove a Pro feature you paid for, we will offer a reasonable replacement where possible.

Readista Pro may be offered as an auto-renewable subscription (for example weekly or yearly) or as a one-time lifetime purchase. The available options, prices and any free trial are shown in the App before you buy, in your local currency.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and length unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in the iPhone Settings app › your name › Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Pro until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
• If a free trial is offered, you won’t be charged until it ends. If you don’t cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription.
• A lifetime purchase is a one-time payment that unlocks Readista Pro with no renewal.
• Purchases are processed by Apple, and refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. You can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• If you reinstall the App or use a new device with the same Apple ID, tap “Restore purchases” in the App to restore Readista Pro.

4. Book information from third parties

Book details and cover images found through search come from third-party catalogs, including Open Library, Google Books and Apple Books. They belong to their respective owners, are provided for your personal reference, and may be incomplete or inaccurate. We are not responsible for third-party content or services, which have their own terms.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, distribute, sell or rent the App, or try to extract its source code, except where the law allows this;
• interfere with or disrupt the App or the services it uses, or try to get around purchase checks or other technical limits;
• use the App for anything unlawful or to infringe anyone’s rights.

6. Our rights

The App, including its design, artwork, themes, text and software, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms don’t give you any rights to our names, logos or trademarks.

7. Health and accuracy

Reading statistics, streaks, goals and finish-date forecasts are estimates for motivation and may not be exact. Please take breaks and read in a way that is comfortable for you.

8. Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don’t guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free or that data will never be lost.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for the App and Readista Pro in the 12 months before the claim. Some countries don’t allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can’t be waived.

10. Apple

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. In addition:

• We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content, and for providing any maintenance and support for the App as described in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the App.
• We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any, of the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
• If a third party claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
• You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• You must follow any applicable third-party terms when using the App, for example your wireless data service agreement.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right, and is deemed to have accepted the right, to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

11. Ending these Terms

You can stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your license if you seriously break these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as Your Content, our rights, disclaimers and limitation of liability) continue after the Terms end. Ending the Terms doesn’t cancel a subscription; manage that in your Apple ID settings.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We’ll change the “Last updated” date above and, for important changes, let you know in the App or on this page. If you keep using the App after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

13. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your information.
