If you’re having trouble with your streak breaking seemingly unexpectedly, the most common cause is not having any pages or minutes in your reading journal. You might have a journal entry, but the 'Pages/Minutes Read in Last Sitting' field in your journal has not been populated. This usually happens when progress entries have been added non-chronologically.
Check that your daily pages/minutes graph has pages or minutes recorded every day. If a day is showing 0, find your entry for this day in your reading journal. Click ‘Edit’ next to that day and make sure there’s a value in the ‘Pages Read / Minutes Listened in Last Sitting’ field. If there isn’t, pop in how many pages/minutes you read that day, save, then head to the streak page and click ‘Recalculate Streak’.
If that doesn't fix your streak. please try the following tips:
1. Check your daily pages and minutes chart looks as expected. If it does, click into the streak page and hit ‘Recalculate Streak’. This should restore your streak.
2. If you need to backdate your entries, please do so chronologically. For example, add in your update for the 17th January, then the 18th, then the 19th. If you add in your reading for the 19th but then try to add an entry for the 18th, your pages/minutes won’t be calculated properly.
3. Check the book you’ve been tracking has a page count or duration info listed. If it does not, you can add it in by clicking ‘Add missing information’ on the book page. Then, if you haven’t made any private notes against the book, follow these steps:
a) Remove the book from your list, then mark it as currently-reading again and adjust your start date.
b) Retroactively add your progress updates, backdating them using Add Note/Edit Date. Once all the pages are in place, head to the streak page and click ‘Recalculate Streak’ and you'll be all set.
