Support
Wormies is made by one worm who loves to read and likes a good cup of coffee. Everything in the app's Support page costs about as much as one.
Email support@wormies.app and a worm will write back, usually within a day or two. In the app, Settings → Support Wormies shows your usage, capacity packs and the tip jar.
Frequently asked
Which books work?
Any book file without DRM: EPUB (including Kobo's KEPUB), Kindle MOBI, AZW3 and PRC files, FictionBook (FB2), PDF, plain text and Markdown. That covers DRM-free stores and publishers (Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, Tor, Baen, Humble Bundle), the Kindle and Kobo titles whose publishers sell without DRM, Calibre libraries, your own manuscripts and PDFs from anywhere. Kindle, FictionBook and text files are converted to EPUB on your device the first time you open them. What no third-party app can open is a copy locked with a store's DRM: most Kindle purchases, every Apple Books purchase, and Kobo titles with Adobe or Kobo DRM. Wormies never removes DRM; it compares fingerprints so everyone in the club reads their own legitimate copy.
Where do I put my books?
Anywhere the Files app can see: iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, Dropbox, Google Drive. In Wormies, connect a folder once and the app keeps it up to date, or import single files.
My copy says 'different'. Can I still join?
Yes. Progress shows as approximate and notes re-anchor by their quoted text. If everyone can get the same file, exact match is best.
What does the Spoiler Shield hide?
Any note from a club member that sits ahead of where you are in the book. It is on by default, and you can peek at hidden notes one at a time or turn the shield off in the toolbar.
Who starts a session?
The club owner. Every session begins in a waiting room where members pick their copy and chat; positions and notes are shared from the moment the owner presses Start reading.
What is free and what costs money?
Reading, joining clubs and joining sessions are always free. Each account can create 5 clubs and start 10 sessions for free; packs of 5 more clubs or 10 more sessions are $1.99 each. Tips are optional and unlock nothing.
How do I delete my account?
Settings → Account → Delete account. Your profile, memberships and devices are removed within 24 hours and your notes are anonymized.
