Sync your vocabulary across devices

Once you’re signed in, SnapVerbo keeps your vocabulary, wordbooks, tags, favorites, and review progress in sync across every device you sign into. Capture on your phone at lunch, review on your tablet on the couch — same data, same review schedule.

Turn Cloud Sync on

Sign in on at least one device.
Open Settings → Advanced.
Toggle Enable Cloud Sync on. Subtitle: “Back up vocabulary to the cloud (Fluent+ also backs up images).”

That’s it. Sync runs in the background — there’s nothing else to schedule.

What syncs (and what doesn’t)

Always synced (any tier with Cloud Sync):

Vocabulary entries — source text, translation, language, AI lookups, Word Roots.
Wordbooks, tags, favorites.
Spaced-repetition progress (so a card you marked Easy on phone is also Easy on tablet).
Personal notes.

Synced only on Fluent+ tier:

Source images for entries you captured with the camera. On lower tiers, the entry syncs but the photo stays only on the device that took it.

Never synced:

App settings (language defaults, theme, reminder time) — local to each device, by design.
Onboarding state (which tips you’ve dismissed) — local.
Review counters used for daily badges — local.

Install SnapVerbo on the new device.
Settings → Account & Sign-in → Sign in with Google / Apple. Use the same account.
Wait a few seconds — sync pulls everything down. Larger libraries can take a minute on first sync.

You don’t need to re-enable Cloud Sync per device — it’s per-account, but the toggle on each device gives you fine-grained control if you want one device to be read-only for some reason.

When does sync run?

Roughly:

On app launch and when the app comes back to the foreground.
After you change anything — saving an entry, rating a flashcard, editing a note.
At the end of a review session (so progress is backed up before you leave the screen).
Manually — via Sync now if your tier includes the entitlement. See Controlling sync manually.

What if I’m offline?

Capture, edit, and review work entirely offline. Changes queue up locally; the next time the device has network, sync pushes everything up and pulls anything that changed elsewhere.

What if Cloud Sync is “Temporarily disabled by server”?

If you see that message under the toggle, sync is paused at the service level (rare, usually maintenance). Your local data is untouched and any pending changes will sync once the service is back.

If you have a Fluent+ tier, the Advanced section also shows:

Images: … — a one-line summary of how many source images are uploaded vs pending.
Sync now — pushes/pulls immediately and shows a snackbar with the result.
