  • Definitely recommend

    It’s unfortunate the lower of use this app receives.

    I am a homeschool mom and was looking for an app to keep track of reading for my 6 year old. My child loves to see the long list he has accomplished by reading. It’s very engaging; after reading, he scans the barcode on the back of the book, adds how many pages were read and how much time it took him to read. So colorful & fun! Easy to use.

    Only con I wish there were more features!

  • Book Count Doesn’t Work

    We were using this log to keep track of how many books we are reading to our daughter. It’s totally stopped keeping track. When you try to find the total, it’s blank or says “null”. Super disappointed because we had set a goal for ourselves for the year and this has totally ruined our progress.
  • Anything to support reading

    I am a fan of any app that encourages my child to read. A helpful tool.
  • Great for summer reading

    We use this to track our daughters summer reading and it’s been easy and fun. Useful tool to track progress.
  • Close but no cigar

    Liked the ability to reward by time read spent reading and number of books. Unfortunately, app can’t find certain Dr Seuss books. Why is there no function to enter titles manually? Unfortunately must delete.

    Thank you for your suggestion about adding functionality to the app! We will take this into consideration for future development. The issue with scanning certain books has been resolved.
  • Can’t add any books

    I’m trying to keep track of my three girls reading this summer and I can’t have three users on one account. As a result I had to download the app on all three of their tablets. Now that they are downloaded on their tablets, the app is t recognizing any of the ISBN numbers I’m trying to input.
  • Not accepting ISBN of any book in my house

    This app is completely useless if I can’t choose any book to put in. This app is not recognizing any of my books including Scholastic books. I am a kindergarten teacher and have multiple K-2 picture books at my house. I tried my personal books as well. None of them are coming up to put into my reading log. I was hoping I could send this out to parents for the summer, now I won’t be recommending this to anyone.

    Hi Alicia--We have now corrected the problem the app has been having with ISBN scanning and hope that you'll give it another try!
  • Useless app - does not have updated ISBN database

    I wanted to use this app to track my child’s reading activity this Summer. 9/10 of the books we searched for (including famous titles such as Harry Potter) could not be found. Not sure who wrote this app, but it might have made more sense to use an API or other method to tie into ISBN listings. This obviously uses its own outdated, limited set of books. Sure it’s free, but so is a piece of paper and a pencil, which would actually be more useful than this silly app.

  • Disappointed

    I wanted a basic log for my daughter to track / log the books she’s reading. Unfortunately, the scanner nor the manual ability to input the ISBN number does not work. Neither feature found the multiple books that she has read. There is not a way to manually enter the book title either. Deleting this app immediately.

    We're sorry to hear about the difficulty you experienced using the app--we have corrected the problem users were having with the ISBN.
  • Close but...

    Close to the app we were searching for. The only problem is the app can’t find most books either by scanner or by entering in the ISBN code. Expand your database and this will be a winner.
