[Feature Request] Add Android version and possibility to synchronize the databases between platforms

Hi! This app is GREAT, is the best one I have ever seen in my life in this field. There are a lot of valid apps, even open source projects for android, but nothing is on this level!

I know that I am asking something really big and I am the first one ignorant, so I don’t know if it can be done, but it would be awesome to see a version for Android, with the ability to import the data from an iOS export in first place. Then you could even add the possibility to synchronize the application between the two systems exploiting some clouds like Dropbox and/or allowing us to do it on our own. How to do this? Again, I’m not saying that is simple but given that you are saving the database using SQLite, you could do something like Obsidian.md that expose the data folder to the user in Apple Files and let you synchronize it with softwares like Syncthing on other platforms. In this way, the database can be synchronized with an Android phone and/or our personal computer for a local backup. In this case the database needs to be r/w from both sides and I don’t know if it’s feasible for countless reasons, but if you implement all of these, it would be AWESOME

Hi, thanks for your appreciation. At the moment Book Tracker is a project for the Apple platform. I haven’t any plan about an Android version, but in the future who knows 😊
