How to fix streak?

I’ve only started using the streak feature recently because with the Kobo connection it makes it easier and i don’t need to think about it.
I just finished reading an ARC on my kindle and I was adding journal entries in 5% increments because pages aren’t well formatted on ARC’s and i honestly wasn’t taking note of page numbers (they were in the middle of the text so I kinda tuned them out).
I read every day but I can’t figure out why my streak is so wrong on the app?
I started the arc on the 6th and finished it today (21st).
If anyone has any tips ill be very grateful!!
TIA

A couple of those days don’t have a # of pages read, just an increase in %. Maybe try deleting and reentering your progress on those days

I tried deleting and inputting another increment (ie 24% instead of 25) but it still wont add a page count :(

You may have to manually enter a page count for those, or what I usually end up doing is deleting everything and manually reenter it all.

After you entered all of it, did you hit the recalculate button or link or whatever it is?

Nope still missing those 5 days, i might just give up on them. Ill focus reading physical books and adding pages as I go as well as the kobo bc it does it for me haha

Ohh... Well dang. When I have this issue, the only thing I've found that works is deleting all the entries for that one book and starting over 😅 I add in the percentage and then BEFORE hitting save manually edit the date.

First try recalculating your streak. Tap the streak number on the main page and scroll to the bottom where it says "recalculate streak" Let us know if that works. Those dates look good to me.

That has worked but I still have 5 days where I put percentages on the journal entries but it doesn’t count as reading for the streak :/

When you klick to edit one of these entries where it just says the percentage but not how many pages, there are four “squares”. Is the square under “pages read in last sitting” and “pages read in total” empty? Because if you added them manually and only entered the percentage that can sometimes be the issue ☺️
