Common topics

Getting started

Turning Bopo on in Safari

Readings

A reading looks wrong

Bopo uses Taiwanese Mandarin readings, which sometimes differ from everyday speech. If a reading looks wrong, send me the word and the page or sentence it was in, and I'll look at it.

Pages

A site misbehaves with Bopo on

Turn Bopo off for that site from the toolbar button, and let me know the address and what happened. Please include your device and your iOS or macOS version.

Sync

iCloud across devices

Your saved words and some settings sync through your personal iCloud. If your words aren't showing on both devices, check that both are signed into the same Apple Account with iCloud turned on, and open Bopo on each so it can catch up. You can also use Bopo without iCloud. Your data stays on each device.

Purchase

Purchases, restores, and refunds

Bopo Plus is a one-time purchase through Apple with no subscription. To restore it on a new device, open Settings › Bopo Plus in the app and tap Restore purchase. For a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple Account.

Data

What's stored, and where

There is no account and no tracking of any kind. For exactly what Bopo keeps and how it is handled, see the Privacy Policy. The English definitions come from Bopo's adaptation of CC-CEDICT.
