Be sure to check the new minimum OS version requirements before you upgrade!

Next week we will be releasing Codebook 5 for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, along with our new, automatic sync service Codebook Cloud.

About Codebook Cloud

We have lots of information about Codebook Cloud available on our FAQ.

Since a few folks have asked already: when you upgrade to Codebook 5, Codebook Cloud will not be turned on automatically—we would never upload your data to our service without your permission! Codebook 5 will prompt you to try out the service, but that’s entirely up to you. Turning on Codebook Cloud sync requires creating an account and choosing a subscription plan.

As many customers have automatic updates enabled, we would like to make sure you are aware of the new minimum OS version requirements before you upgrade.

Codebook 5 requires you to update on all of your devices to continue using all sync features, it will not sync with prior versions of Codebook.

If Codebook 5 is not supported on some of your devices, you may wish to disable automatic updates until you can upgrade your operating system.

Minimum Supported Operating Systems in Codebook 5

  • Android: 5.0
  • iOS: 13
  • macOS: 10.15
  • Windows: 10
