FanFiction.Net's mobile app is pretty basic and, last I used it, didn't have reliable cross-device progress syncing. It might cache your position locally on a single device, but there's no account-based cloud sync for where you left off in a story. You'd have to manually remember the chapter. For a site with so much content, it's a significant shortcoming. Readers often resort to browser bookmarks or just remembering the chapter title. Compared to Wattpad or AO3-tracker apps, it feels like a feature from an earlier era of mobile reading.

Some apps promise sync but get tripped up by versioning. If you update an EPUB file on your computer and re-upload it to your cloud, some apps might see it as a new book and lose your old progress. I've had this happen with a few cloud-based readers. The most robust systems, like Kindle's, treat the book as a unique entity regardless of minor file changes. It's a niche issue, but if you frequently update manuscripts or fixed-format documents, it's worth checking how an app handles it. True, reliable sync isn't just about the last page number; it's about correctly associating that data with the right 'book' over time.

My favorite unsung hero for this is the 'Send to Kindle' browser extension. I'll be reading a long article or a blog serial on my laptop, click the extension, and it sends the webpage to my Kindle library as a readable document. Later, I can open the Kindle app on my phone, and that document is there, with my progress from the laptop synced. It bridges the gap between web content and my synced reading ecosystem. It feels like cheating. It's not for every story app, but for pulling any online text into a reliable sync environment, it's a killer feature of the Kindle ecosystem.

OverDrive/Libby is the king if you borrow audiobooks from the library. As long as you're signed into the same library card account on both devices, your position syncs automatically. It's saved me so many times when I've had to switch devices. Just remember it's tied to your loan period, so the sync is for your progress, not permanent ownership. For free, legal audiobooks, you can't beat the functionality.

Has anyone else noticed that good progress sync makes you read more? It removes the tiny barrier of finding your place. I find myself picking up my phone for just a minute because I know I won't lose my spot on the bigger screen. It's a psychological thing. The apps that nailed this—Kindle, Apple Books, Google Play Books—have fundamentally changed my reading habits. I finish books faster because reading happens in all the little moments, not just dedicated sittings.

Moon+ Reader on Android is a powerhouse for this, especially if you sideload a lot of EPUBs. It has a built-in sync feature using Google Drive or Dropbox. You need to enable it in the settings, but once you do, it backs up your reading progress, bookmarks, and even your custom themes for each book. The sync isn't instant like Kindle's—you might need to manually trigger it—but for a third-party app handling your personal files, it's incredibly robust. It's perfect for people with a huge library of DRM-free books who want control over their data.

The humble bookmark is part of sync! An app that syncs your last page but forgets your bookmarks is only doing half the job. I use bookmarks to flag passages I want to revisit or quote. Losing those between devices is as frustrating as losing my page. My evaluation now includes adding a bookmark on my phone and checking for it on my tablet. You'd be surprised how many apps drop the ball here. It's a simple data point, but it reveals the depth of the syncing implementation.

Don't overlook the 'Reading List' function in modern browsers like Safari or Chrome. If you're reading a long-form article or a serial on a website, you can save it to your reading list, and it will sync across your devices signed into the same browser account. It strips away ads and formatting for a clean read. Again, it doesn't save your precise scroll position, but it saves the link. For linear blog-style stories where you read one page per chapter, it's a built-in, zero-cost syncing solution that requires no extra apps.

OverDrive (the app, not just the website) does sync your position for library audiobooks. It's the older system that Libby replaced, but if your library still supports it, the functionality is there. The interface feels dated, but it gets the job done.

All this talk makes me miss physical books. No batteries, no sync, no updates. The 'progress' is a physical bookmark. The downside, of course, is you can't carry a library in your pocket. But for a dedicated reading session at home, a physical light novel with the color inserts just hits different. I've started buying physical copies of my absolute favorites, and then if I want to read on the go, I'll... acquire a digital version separately. It's not strictly legal, but if I've already paid for the book, I don't feel bad about loading an EPUB onto my phone for convenience. The sync problem is solved by me manually finding my place. A hassle, but a peaceful one.
