Mixed Feelings
I have mixed feelings about this app because it works effectively as described; but if you want the Lexile number, you have to pay an additional fee!!!
I bought this app to locate the Lexile levels of books that aren’t already listed elsewhere. I’m an Asst. Librarian serving parents of school children, so I look up Lexile levels often. I can’t afford to pay this additional fee for every book!
This rating would be 5 stars if I didn’t have to pay an additional fee for the Lexile numbers for the books.Show lessMRRSmith

Thank you for purchasing BookScanner and leaving feedback. Originally BookScanner focused on the AR system and the ATOS level. We hear from many people that were interested in Lexile information, and that AR was starting to use these levels as well. We added the ability to add Lexile information for people who were interested in that as an addon to BookScanner. There is a small one-time purchase to unlock Lexile level information to cover the cost of adding this feature to BookScanner. This in-app purchase unlocks Lexile information for all books that you have scanned or will scan in the future. To be clear, this fee is not per book scanned/identified. After unlocking the Lexile information, you should automatically see this information displayed. For any book in your history scanner prior to unlocking Lexile information, please tap the Lexicon button for that book and it should be displayed quickly. If this doesn't work, or you have other questions, please email us for assistance help@ifthendev.com .Immediate Information
I have just spent my lunch break downloading and trying this app. I think it’s great. However how can I retrieve this information to attach to the books in my classroom library. Do I email myself? Help!!Facts Nerd
Doesn’t have Guided Reading Level (GRL)
I purchased this app to help my daughter’s teacher “level” some new books in her collection. Unfortunately, the standard GRL system that the school uses does not show up in the information after you scan a book. It looks like a decent app otherwise, but didn’t do the one function that I was looking for.Show lesstpourch

Thank you for the feedback. We are interested in adding the Fountas and Pinnell GRL information to BookScanner, but unfortunately the only source of this information appears to be through a subscription with them directly. We will continue to look into options for adding this information into BookScanner, so please keep an eye out for future versions.Helpful with limitations
For lower grade individual books it’s great but it doesn’t work with anthologies like “a collection of dr Seuss” or 10 Pete the cat stories. Wish it could use title but the scanning feature is greatdandelion623
Expected More
The scanner works only on a few of my sons books. When it gives me the option to search by title, the page goes blank and does not work.. I hope this can be resolved as I feel this would be a great app to help me figure out the Lexie level of his books.ShaeBear90
Faulty Reading
Lately, when scanning books, it shows the cover, gives all of the info (test number, points, words) but none of the info is correct. When my kids type the test number into the AR site, a totally different book appears.BluEydCole
Very helpful
I am happy with this app. But I would love for it to have a couple features not currently available.
It would be a huge help if we can put a check mark next to the books that have been read.
I have more than one child’s book list here and it’s getting harder to keep up with who’s read which book. Maybe adding a few different color check marks can help tell who read what also. That would make this 5 starsShow lessPixiedust00

Thank you for the feedback and suggestions on new features. We are constantly evaluating new feature requests, and will certainly add your suggestions to our list.Horrible app
This app is horrible. It scans and gives you information but when you have your students actually try to use the Quiz numbers they aren’t even for the right books. I would say 90% of the books I scanned were wrong. Time wasted. Just used Accelerated Reader websites. I wish I had my $3 back. I’ve spent enough money trying to make my job easier and this has cost me more time than anything!Show lessteacher013072
Best app EVER!!!!!
So worth the price. This app was AMAZING during our Book Fair. Took only a few seconds to find a book. My new favorite tool for the library. No more searching for AR quiz numbers, BL and points.AR reader
Fails to recognize the correct book or quizz
It is a good tool. But, in a many occasions the book scanned and quiz number is not recognized in the school AR. Which means my kid wasted time reading a book that
will not count or be done for an AR quizz.Arlene FL
