# RD - Settings & Customization

# Settings

In Settings you choose the language of the app, the dictionary it opens with, the theme and other preferences. You can also delete your data and find information about the app.

## Getting there

Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner of the **Explore** or **Favorites** tab. See [Home screen](/books/rd-getting-started/page/home-screen).

## Preferences

The first group of options changes how the app looks and behaves. Changes are saved at once.

*The Preferences group.*

### Idioma / Language

The language of the app: **Galego**, **Español**, **English** or **Lingua Latina**. The title of this option is always shown in Galician and English, so you can find it whatever language the app is in.

*The language options.*

This only changes the texts of the app. The dictionary entries are always shown as they are in the dictionary.

### Default dictionary

The dictionary the app opens with. Choosing one here also switches the search screen to that dictionary. It is also the dictionary used for the Word of the day.

### Interface theme

Choose **Light theme**, **Dark theme**, or **System default** to follow your phone's setting.

### Word of the day

Turn this switch on to see a random word the first time you open the app each day, or off to stop it. See [Word of the day](/books/rd-core-features/page/word-of-the-day).

### Watch tutorial again

Tap it to go back to the search screen and see the tutorial from the beginning. See [First launch and tutorial](/books/rd-getting-started/page/first-launch-and-tutorial).

## Data

This group has a single option to delete the data the app keeps on your phone.

Tap **Clear history and cache** to delete the recent searches of all the dictionaries **and all your favorites**.

> **Warning:** The data is deleted as soon as you tap the option, without asking for confirmation, and it can't be recovered. If you want to keep your favorites, don't use this option.
