### 2/5 — Not remembering where we left off

*2026-08-26*

For some reason when my boy reading a book himself, if he stopped in the middle of the book , the app won’t record his reading time and won’t remember where he left off. Can you please fix it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about this experience. Recently read books can be found in the Activity Feed on the Profile screen, but we understand how important it is for children to easily pick up where they left off and have their reading time accurately recorded. We’re making this a priority for our team to improve. Thank you for reading with Smart Kidz Club!
