  • Best app ever!

    LOVE!!!! As a teacher always looking for books to fill my classroom library, this app is a lifesaver! I can quickly scan the barcode at a garage sale or goodwill and know immediately if it is appropriate for my students. Seriously don’t know what I’d do without this app!!
  • I wish it had...

    I wish it had the ability to keep count of how many books I have for one title. It doesn’t keep track of how many books you have in your library at all. Id also like to see it have the ability to send my complete list to my pc. Not as happy as I’d hoped to be.
  • Love it

    Awesome app! Some books have not been rated (if they are new.) Maybe if a book is scanned, and there is no data, the app can alert you when that book is loaded into their system? Just an idea...
  • Wrong about several..

    Labeled all my books for AR this summer but my poor students have had several occasions where this app provides a quiz number and matching book cover but there is no quiz on the AR site.

    When it works it’s really convenient ! But Feel awful for the kids who discover those incorrectly labeled books.

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing incorrectly identified books. BookScanner searches through a number of sources if the ISBN on your book isn't showing up on the AR website. Many books will have a quiz, but the specific ISBN may not be listed for that quiz. BookScanner goes through a number of steps to match title and author, but we have found that some barcodes are not title specific but rather used to represent pricing on many books. Sometimes these books will have a second title-specific barcode on the first few pages - these almost always identify the book properly. If you have any books that are more than a few years old, take a look for these second barcodes. If you have any questions, or would like to send us some samples of what you are finding, please email help@ifthendev.com . Thank you.

    I think this app awesome because you get to see if your air book has points a lot of points or if it has less votes and you can see if a book is AR think you and I love you
  • Not what I expected

    At first I was happy to use this app instead of having to type every book into the AR book finder website to find the quiz numbers and reading levels. But then the students started coming to me saying that the book quiz didn’t match the title or it wasn’t on the website. So now I have to check all the books that I scanned to make sure they are AR books and have the right quiz number printed. Don’t purchase it. I regret it and haven’t used it since.

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues. We would really like to see examples of some of the incorrect scans and barcodes so we can research and correct. Please send us an email help@ifthendev.com so we can further assist. Thank you.
  • Why I like this app

    I like this app because it tells you how many A.R points it is .And what the reading level it is . That is why I like this app

    Sincerely,

    Emma
  • Hmmm, Dinosaurs Before Dark

    Every Junie B. Jones book I scan comes back at Dinosaurs Before Dark unless I type in the ISBN. So it appears if it can’t find a book, the default is Dinosaurs Before Dark.
    Tips: make it easier to search by ISBN (not have to scan a UPC to pull it up)
    Make it easier to search multiple books (instead of going back to home screen each time)

    There is no default book, so we would like to see a picture of some of the barcodes that are coming up as this book so we can try to find out what is happening. Some books share barcodes and they are not title specific on the back of the book, but they may have a unique barcode inside the first few pages of the book. Please email us at help@ifthendev.com for further assistance. Thank you.
  • Good so far

    So far this is quick and easy to use. I wish I could search by title directly from the scanner (rather than going to the website). I also wish this gave dra/scholastic levels with 1 scan.
    Other than that it’s been great
  • AR must have

    I search through used books with AR Bookfinder at my side. I have passed it on to many others and the schools now reference it for parents to use on their website.
