1. Quick fixes
These steps resolve many temporary problems without affecting your account:
- 1Check your connection. Switch between Wi-Fi and cellular data. Turn off a VPN or network filter briefly if it may be blocking the connection.
- 2Close and reopen Fluent Chapters. Return to the Home Screen, close the app, then launch it again.
- 3Confirm the account. In Settings, verify that you are signed into the Fluent Chapters account that owns your library and Premium access.
- 4Update the app and device. Install the latest Fluent Chapters release from the App Store or Google Play and any compatible operating system updates.
- 5Restart the device. This can repair temporary networking, audio, and app marketplace service issues.
Before reinstalling
Create or link a registered Fluent Chapters account and confirm that progress has synced. Reinstalling can permanently remove guest-only progress and local preferences.
2. Accounts and sign-in
Create an account from guest mode
- Open Fluent Chapters and go to Settings.
- Select Create Account.
- Enter your email, choose a password, accept the age and legal confirmation, then complete email verification.
- Return to Settings and confirm that the guest label is gone and your account information appears.
Link the guest session that contains your current progress. Creating a separate account after signing out can result in a different, empty library.
Sign in to an existing account
Choose Sign In in Settings, then use the same email address and password you used when creating the account. If you see an empty library after sign-in, sign out without deleting the account and contact Support before making further account changes.
Verification or sign-in link does not arrive
- Check spam, junk, promotions, and filtered folders.
- Confirm that the email address is spelled correctly.
- Wait a few minutes before requesting another link. Only the newest link may remain valid.
- Open the link on the device where Fluent Chapters is installed.
- Temporarily disable email link scanners, VPNs, or content filters if they are consuming or blocking the link.
Lost access to the email or sign-in provider
First try the account recovery process offered by the relevant email or identity provider. Fluent Chapters cannot bypass that provider’s identity checks. If you are still signed in on one device, do not sign out or reinstall. Submit an account ticket using the address associated with the account when possible.
Suspected unauthorized access
Secure your email and Apple or Google account first, review signed-in devices, and change any reused credentials. Then submit an account ticket with “Urgent: Fluent Chapters account security” as the subject. Never send us a password or one-time code.
3. Reading progress and sync
Registered accounts can sync supported library and learning data. Guest mode is not a substitute for a backup.
Progress is missing on another device
- Confirm both devices use the same Fluent Chapters email account.
- Connect both devices to the internet and open Fluent Chapters.
- On the original device, open the affected book and return to the library to trigger an update.
- Close and reopen Fluent Chapters on the second device.
- If the problem remains, do not repeatedly sign out or delete either copy. Contact Support with the book title, chapter, and which device has the correct state.
Conflicting progress
When the same book is read offline on more than one device, a later sync may need to choose between competing changes. Keep the device with the most complete progress untouched and contact Support before reinstalling. Include the approximate last-read time on each device.
What may remain device-specific
Bundled story files, operating system voices, certain accessibility settings, and cached content remain local to each device. A registered account syncs supported Fluent Chapters records, not every device-level setting or operating system backup.
4. Premium, purchases, and billing
Premium did not unlock
- Wait for the Apple or Google Play purchase confirmation to finish. Do not purchase repeatedly.
- Confirm that you are signed into the intended Fluent Chapters account.
- Open Settings > Restore Purchases.
- Confirm that the Apple Account or Google Play account on the device is the one used for purchase.
- Restart Fluent Chapters and check the Premium status again.
If access still does not appear, submit a billing ticket with your Fluent Chapters account email or username, the product name, approximate purchase time, storefront country, and a screenshot showing the marketplace’s successful confirmation. Redact addresses, transaction documents, and unrelated purchases. Never send a full payment card number.
Restore Purchases
Restore Purchases asks Apple or Google Play and RevenueCat to revalidate eligible purchases. It does not create a new charge. Restoration can fail if the purchase belongs to another marketplace account, if you are using a different Fluent Chapters account, if marketplace services are unavailable, or if the purchase was refunded or expired.
Cancel or manage a subscription
Open Settings > Manage Subscription in Fluent Chapters, or go directly to Apple subscription settings or Google Play subscriptions. The marketplace controls cancellation and renewal. Cancel before renewal according to the timing it displays. You normally retain Premium until the current paid period ends.
Request a refund or report an unknown charge
App Store billing and refunds are handled by Apple; use Apple Report a Problem. Google Play billing and refund eligibility are handled by Google; use Google Play’s refund flow. For an unrecognized charge, follow the marketplace’s billing support process and secure that account. Fluent Chapters cannot view your full payment method or directly reverse a marketplace charge.
Deleting an account while subscribed
Cancel through Apple or Google Play before deleting your Fluent Chapters account. Deleting the account or app does not cancel billing. Account deletion removes the Fluent Chapters entitlement record and can make later restoration to that deleted account impossible.
5. Reading, books, and offline access
A book or chapter will not load
- Confirm that the book is included in your current access and that Premium is active if the book is locked.
- Check the internet connection, then close and reopen the book.
- Make sure the device has free storage.
- Update Fluent Chapters to receive catalog and content corrections.
Offline reading
Story content included in the installed app can be read offline after the app has loaded it. Account verification, purchases, restoration, catalog updates, synchronization, and Premium narration require a network connection. Premium access may need to be refreshed after an entitlement change.
Translation or word meaning looks wrong
Language can have more than one valid meaning. If a translation is clearly incorrect or unnatural in context, send a correction report using the checklist in Content corrections. We review specific, reproducible reports.
Text is too small or large
Use Fluent Chapters’s text-size control in Settings. You can also adjust the device’s text size and accessibility settings. If text overlaps, is clipped, or becomes unusable at a larger size, send a screenshot with the app version, device model, and selected text-size setting.
6. Audio and text-to-speech
Premium chapter narration and sentence playback use the same synchronized Azure recording. Free reading tools may use a voice provided by the device. Voice availability, pronunciation, quality, and download size vary by language and device. Premium narration requires a network connection when it is not already cached.
No voice is available
- Raise media volume and confirm the device is not routing audio to headphones or another speaker.
- Open device language or accessibility settings and download a voice for the story language if one is offered.
- Confirm that the selected voice matches the language and regional variant.
- Restart Fluent Chapters after installing a new voice.
Pronunciation is incorrect
For device text-to-speech, try another available voice or regional variant. For synchronized Premium narration, include the book, chapter, language, and sentence when contacting Support. Send content corrections when punctuation or spelling in Fluent Chapters appears to cause the error.
Audio stops or plays slowly
Check the network connection, Low Power Mode, background audio interruptions, Bluetooth routing, downloaded voice status, and available device storage. Then restart the device. Include the language, voice name, book, chapter, and affected sentence when contacting Support.
7. Privacy choices and account deletion
Usage analytics
Usage analytics are optional. Change your choice in Settings > Privacy > Share Usage Analytics. Turning the setting off stops new optional analytics collection. Essential account, security, sync, and purchase records still operate. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Delete your account and data
- Cancel an active subscription in Apple subscription settings or Google Play subscriptions.
- Open Fluent Chapters and go to Settings > Delete Account & Data.
- Review the deletion summary and complete any required reauthentication.
- Confirm permanent deletion.
Deletion removes the Fluent Chapters account and associated library, progress, learning data, preferences, and entitlement record. Limited transaction, security, legal, support, deidentified, and backup records may remain as described in the retention section.
If you cannot access the app, submit a privacy ticket using the account email where possible. Include your username and state that you want the account deleted. We will ask only for information reasonably needed to verify the request.
Access, correction, export, or other privacy request
Submit a privacy ticket with “Fluent Chapters privacy request” in the subject. Describe the request, account username or email, and your country or state if relevant to the legal right. Do not send identity documents unless we specifically request an appropriate verification method.
8. Accessibility support
We want Fluent Chapters’s reading, account, and purchase flows to work with assistive technology. If VoiceOver, larger text, Voice Control, contrast, reduced motion, keyboard access, switch control, or another accommodation does not work as expected, submit an accessibility ticket.
Please include:
- The task you were trying to complete and the screen where you were blocked.
- Device model, operating system version, Fluent Chapters version, and assistive technology.
- Text-size or display settings that affect the issue.
- Exact VoiceOver announcement or focus behavior, if relevant.
- A screenshot or screen recording if it is safe and does not expose private information.
If an accessible alternative is available while we investigate, tell us which format or path would help you complete the task.
9. Content corrections and rights reports
Report a language or story issue
Submit a content ticket with:
- Target language and regional variant, if relevant.
- Book title, chapter number, and sentence or word.
- The current Fluent Chapters text and your suggested correction.
- A short explanation or reliable reference.
- Whether the issue affects translation, grammar, spelling, cultural context, age suitability, or speech.
Report intellectual property concerns
Submit a legal ticket. Identify the protected work, the Fluent Chapters material and location, your contact details, your relationship to the rights holder, and the basis for the claim. Good-faith, complete notices can be reviewed more quickly.
10. Contact Fluent Chapters Support
Use a clear subject such as “Premium not restored,” “Cannot sign in,” “Audio stops in chapter 2,” or “Accessibility issue.” Include only what is relevant:
- Fluent Chapters username or account email.
- App version shown in Settings.
- Device model and operating system version.
- Target language and affected book or chapter.
- Exact error message and approximate time it occurred.
- Steps that reproduce the problem.
- What you already tried.
- A redacted screenshot or screen recording if useful.
Submit a private ticket
Your request is stored securely and delivered to Fluent Chapters Support. Your email address is used only to respond to the ticket.
