icon This is an Android client for BookWyrm – a federated social network for tracking your reading, talking about books, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next. It is just BookWyrm put into a webview element, nothing special – but it adds some convenience on top:

* bookwyrm links can be made to open with the app (e.g. clicking on the link to someone's userprofile will open that from your own bookwyrm instance)
* thanks to that, you can immediately follow them easily if you want.
* it lets you easily return to your own home timeline when viewing something like posts, on another bookwyrm instance, because the 'back' button is then modified for that.
* You can also search for books by scanning the ISBN, no matter what instance of Bookwyrm you use.

This application is not an official client! (An official client does not exist yet, as far as I know)

The ISBN scanning feature is created with the zxing-android-embedded library.

WhatsNew:

* Security improvement (Disable WebView file access in HandlerActivity)
* Adaptive icon improvement
* Fix returning to log-in screen bug
* Dependencies have been updated to newest versions.
* Compiled for up to Android 15 now.

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos.
anti Anti-Features:
  • NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
    ⇒ BookWyrm itself is non-free software.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
