Good idea but very cumbersome
The app is a good idea but the task of adding books manually as well as adding books from the library to the reading list doesn’t work well. Many times after clicking “read,” the book doesn’t make it to the reading list, therefore not counting the book and not keeping record of which books we’ve read. I’ve also had the app just close on me while it was in use.
Additionally, when you manually add a book, you can’t go back to make edits if you want to add a photo or misspell something, for example. They also don’t have an option to write the ISBN number manually.
Overall, the app needs to fix these issues to make it worth keeping. Too time consuming for such a simple task.

Ehh
I spent a lot of time adding books but when I closed out of the app and opened it back up they were gone. Very dissatisfied. Plus everything is difficult to navigate. I feel like every time I open the app I have to re learn how to use it.
1000 Books
I have used the app to track books for my twin granddaughters since they were several months old - and now they are almost 5 years old. It is a convenient way to track books, when they were read, etc. very easy to use - the girls love to help me scan and enter them
Where are all the books?!!
My son and I have read hundreds of books that are not in this app. It’s rather disappointing when you are trying to encourage good habits, and this app falls way short of any expectations. Even being able to add books would be a vast improvement

ALL THE BOOKS HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM THE LIBRARY. Can you please fix this.
Good idea, but works terribly
I love the idea of this app, but the execution is terrible. If you want to add a book that isn’t on the list it doesn’t seem to add it to the count. To me it should keep track of the books read, not read from a predetermined list.
Close but not quite
I was happy to find an app that would track my grandkids reading. I had really hoped to get my 5 and 3 year olds successfully on the right track to loving books and learning. We had started a paper trail previously but a move and eventual pandemic lockdown curtailed that method. While we have been reading a lot, the app doesn’t reflect this for the following reason:
What I would like to see is an easier way to upload books. Many we finished either didn’t have a recognizable ISBN to scan or had inadequate author/publisher info that the app would accept.
Once a book would be added, it would be helpful to allow favorites that get read multiple times to be tallied.
If the app has the capability to do these suggestions already, please show me how it does. Thank you

“1000 books” is more like 100
You cannot add any books to the list, only choose from the list they provide. Their list is probably a 100 books or so, so you cannot use the app to reach 1000 or to keep track of what you have read.
Great Concept Needs Some Minor Tweeks
I really like the concept of this app, it’s a cool way to track what books you have read. It’s frustrating that the library is so small and I’m constantly adding new books.
So far unusable
The app won’t allow me to add a photo of my daughter. It has a ridiculously small number of books from which to choose and there seems to be no barcode scanner. I don’t yet see how to add a book manually but given these basic shortcomings I don’t think I will bother to continue with it.
