Quick and Easy

Quick and easy software to keep track of books read

Kids love tracking time

Used this over the summer for our local library reading program. My kids loved being able to use the timer to track their time as well as use the book bank to see what books they’ve read.

Good but needs two mayor things

It is very good for keeping track of minutes but need a system where you can view your groups total minute count and the app should also count seconds toward your total time so the seconds over lap to make more minutes.

Just keep reading

This is the fourth summer using this app for our library summer reading adventure.

We love the new way to add books and see what we’ve read in the past. Great app and we wish the school used it too!

Changing My Review

NEW REVIEW: I contacted customer service through email to sort out my issues, and Jake was quick to reply. He was able to fix everything from his end within the hour (actually sooner). (Apparently what had happened to me was account specific and was an extremely rare occurrence.) The app now is working the way it should be, and I can definitely recommend it now. =) Big shout out to Jake from ReaderZone customer service for helping me out!

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Every time I open this app, it stays black on the screen. I have to delete and redownload this app every time to use it just for the one time before having to delete and redownload it again. Also, when I go to add a book and scan the barcode, my phone just keeps vibrating until I force close the app. Then I have to open it where I get the black screen which means deleting the app and redownloading it just so I can use the app for one time before I have to delete and redownload it again. I wish my library would not have chose this app because it’s too buggy and not even worth using.

Reader zone customer service A+!

So I got locked out of my account but I decided to call reader zone and left a message . My kids were worried about not meeting their reading goals so we waited. In less than 24hrs Jake called back and was able to help 😊 absolutely love this app ! He was kind and helpful!

Good but needs help

I like the idea of this app. We have attempted to use it for several years, but it seems like just when we get in a groove of using it there are issues and it won’t let me add a book. It’s very frustrating when my child is so excited to log her books that she’s read but I can’t because the app won’t work. I have the updated version of the app and that doesn’t help.

Hello, Thank you for posting. We will release updates to the Book Bank design that will make it easier to search for and add books. You will see a big "Add a Book" button on the bottom of the screen that you can use to add any new book to the Book Bank. There will also be a way to search for books you've already read and log them as read again. Look for the updates on July 24, 2024. We hope the app will be easier for you to use. If you'd like some assistance, you can always reach us at 208-888-5160 or by email at help@reader.zone.

Works great for our family

So glad our library is using this app for the summer reading adventure. Works great and we can see how everyone is reading.

Great app

Great app. My library recently started using this for summer reading programs and it makes it fairly easy to track books and activities

Happy parent.

I really love the app. It’s very easy to use and log the minutes in for my kids. They really enjoy and look forward to turning the timer on when they start reading.
