Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add books?
You can add books in three ways: scan the ISBN barcode on the back of a physical book using your camera, type an ISBN number for automatic lookup, or enter book details manually.
Is the app free to use?
Yes. Capybara Kids Library is completely free with no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no premium tiers. All features are available to everyone.
Is the app safe for my child?
Yes. The app has no ads, no tracking, no social features, and no messaging. All data stays on your device. The camera is used only for scanning barcodes — no photos are taken.
How do I track my child's reading progress?
Tap the Stats tab to see reading progress, milestones earned, book types, monthly streaks, and achievement badges. Kids earn levels from Bookworm to Hero as they read more books.
How does the backup work?
Go to Settings → Backup My Library. This creates a .cbl file you can save or share. To restore on a new device, use Settings → Restore from Backup, or tap "Have a backup?" on the welcome screen.
Does the app need internet?
Only for ISBN book lookups (scanning or typing an ISBN). Everything else — browsing your library, stats, favourites, reviews — works completely offline.
What are the Amazon links in recommendations?
The "You may also like" section shows books by the same author. Tapping a recommendation opens Amazon.in in your browser where you can find the physical book. We earn a small referral commission at no extra cost to you.
