The glitchiest app I’ve used
I love the concept of this and tracking my child’s books, but I’ve been using this app for 14 months now and it remains the glitchiest app I have ever used. There have been some updates but I have not seen any improvement. It regularly logs me out & shuts down entirely when I try to scan a book. I hope to see some improvement before we get to 1000 books!

Log in is a pain
I like being able to track the books. I also like that I can scan a barcode. I really wish I didn’t have to fully log in every single time I open the app though. It prevents me from just quickly adding a book each time we read one.
Needs Improvement
I love the idea behind this! I read to my kids every day and we’re making great progress but I get so frustrated adding books. It always glitches out and will force close the app, not add to their list or even add to the library in general after I’ve done all the work of entering in all the info. I think this app is great, but there’s some bugs that need to be fixed for sure. Keep it up! What you’re doing is great!

Better Than Paper
I like that it’s easier than paper because I kept losing our list. I wish at the end I could print the list as some programs around my location have you turn it in for prizes. And as always, I hope more books get added by the barcode as entering them manually isn’t as easy.
Great concept, still needs a little work
I love being able to keep track of my sons reading. I really wish I didn’t have to log in pretty much every time I open the app. I would love a “remember me” feature to avoid that.
Good concept, buggy
Often times, the books I add for my child will not apply to his reading list despite me trying to add them directly from the Library and by searching the library via the “Finished a Book” button. I think someone also forgot to remove the test book image from the manual book entry function, so when I add a book the default cover is some quantum physics textbook or something like that. Funny, but not a great user experience. I’m excited to add my child’s books, but the UX is too buggy. Looking forward to an update! Until then, we’ll just write down the books, I guess.

Sign in and force closing
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this app. I have to sign in again everyday and it’s extremely frustrating. We just passed 600 books last week and the library is getting big enough that when I try to add a new book, the library force closes. I’m probably going to find another way to track our progress because this is becoming more of a hassle to track daily.

Very limited
It’s easy to create an account and click that you finished a book; but it seems you can only choose from books the app already lists - which is super limited! There doesn’t appear to be a way to add new titles. So I think you’re left with a choice between reading only the titles 1000BBK suggest (which is foolish) or tapping on random book titles every time you complete a book of your choice to mark the act of having read a book to your child.

Cumbersome app
I find that going to Goodreads to get the isbn and copying and pasting works pretty well- I first add it to the main library using the plus sign at the bottom and then going back to the library to add it to my granddaughter’s list. However, it often takes a long time to populate to her list which has been frustrating- I’m thinking of just keeping the list on goodreads, because Goodreads also allows me to say how many times we have read a certain book- such as the 5 times a day my husband reads But Not the Hippopotamus to her!

App buggy
Was working fine initially but now when I add books it won’t mark them as read
