So much better than paper trackers!

What a relief to be able to track my son’s reading on my phone! I was always losing the paper trackers from school. It just makes sense to have an app to track reading. Thank goodness for this app!

Perfect app for tracking reading!

I’ve been using Reader Zone since it first came out and i haven’t found a better app for tracking reading. Killer new features all the time too

The best reading tracker out there!

Using paper tracking for my kids was a pain. Our library introduced this app and everything changed. Thank you for creating something that actually helps my kids stay committed to reading.

Awful App.

This app never loads. I thought it may have been a service issue, but every other app on my phone works fine. My family and I were going to use this app to track our summer reading. I would rather just have them write it on a piece of paper.

Too Buggy to Function

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.

Annoying

I’m doing 1000 books before kindergarten with my daughter. The old app wouldn’t let me find other books in the app that she finished then decided to want to read again. (This has been over the course of a few months) I see the same 6-8 books in the list of what she’s read and when I go to scan, it doesn’t register them since she’s ’read and finished them’ before. I can’t delete and find other books she finished. I’d like it to be able to recall and find them easier. I can see them under progress of being completed but can’t bring them back to currently reading. And now she can’t read current books multiple times that we get from the library, we usually read the books twice in the two weeks we have them. 🙃🫠. I can only scan and just mark as read. Then it goes ‘away’ since my same books I’ve read are still showing from months ago. It’s so frustrating and not user friendly.

Hello. Thank you for using Reader Zone. We have released a new version of the app that makes it easier to re-read a book. Visit the App Store to download the newest version of the app. To use the new feature, click on your "Book Bank" icon on the bottom of the screen. You will see all the books that you have already finished in chronological order. Click the button next to the book jacked that says "Read Again". This will register that you've read the book again and it will count toward your 1000 books. Please reach out to us anytime at help@reader.zone and we'd be happy to assist. If you do download the new app, you might ty totally uninstalling it first, then powering down the phone and re-installing the new app. This way, you'll be sure to receive a complete download and pull any updates to your iOS software.

Can’t scan

I’m not a fan of this app. The scan feature does not work when trying input a book. It’s also not as straightforward as it should be for its purpose.

Great app… current issue tho

I love the app. Super handy to log minutes for my kids. They love turning the timer on when we start reading.
Currently if I hit the view progress button the app crashes. I have the latest update on my phone. I know my second child is close to finishing up her summer reading but can’t see how long she’s actually read.

3 kids-no problem ‌

This is a great app for a mom with three kiddos in the library program. You can add all the kids quickly with only one login for everyone. It's fun for each one to see their own progress. Other apps make it hard to have more than one kid in the same account—this one is far easier. ‍ ‍

Thank you. Yes, being able to accommodate more than one reader in a single account was a core focus of the app. Glad you're enjoying it!

Great app for Logging Reading

Great App for logging reading. Took about 5 minutes to set upi our account and join the library reading program. After that, super easy to log your minutes and books. I especially like how you can have multiple people in one account—makes it super easy for everyone.
