Bummed

I was told to use this app to track my son’s AR points. They said it was so great, free to use, and then I got on here with no free version. Would love to have a simple free version of this app to use then subscribe for additional features.

Hate the Updates

I found this app over a month and a half ago and loved the simplicity of it (it was also free) then a few weeks go by and I have to update and select a subscription that came with a 30 day free trial. Fine. Now you are apparently taking that away and now only offering a 14 day free trial before the subscription kicks in…. Kind of sus. I don’t think this app is worth it. Unfortunately, it’s the only thing I know of right now that you can use to scan books. Buyer beware!?!?

Latest update

Color me impressed! I left a review about a feature that changed that I didn’t like, and the developers were so responsive and made a change! I truly appreciate that, taking time to listen to my feedback! Impressive!

Beware: Subscription Needed

I literally found this app not even a week ago and was able to label our home library books for my child now that he’s started AR reading at school. Scanning feature makes it easy to find ar level and quiz no. I had to update app and now it’s asking to subscribe. had to delete.

Can’t cancel subscription

After update, it forced to subscribe to a annual plan. Although it says cancel any time, there is no way to cancel it at all. You can only switch to a different plan but no button to cancel it! Don’t update!

AR Book Assisttent

The Search For Author and stuff never works I type in a book and then it says ‘sorry please try again’ and when I use ISBN it says ‘sorry this book is not in the library

Best app

I tried every free app and so far this is the best one

It WOULD OF been a good app

I was trying to search up a book but it kept giving me a warning saying to try again then i logged in then logged out but it still wouldn’t work im on mobile ipad by the way

Love this

Typing in every book on the AR website to see the level is so tedious. I love this app being able to keep track of what my children have read and the scanner is amazing.

Good app

So far this app is working really well to help me find AR books quickly for my child, however; the “quiz not taken” library is not working. I have tagged several books as “quiz not taken” under my child’s name to save the book, but it is not saved.

Do not get

I always try to type the title and author and nothing comes up. And, I look at the barcode number and I can’t put the last number in. I have tried with many books and nothing works, so, don’t get this app

Best app

I tried every free app and so far this is the best one

Response from developer

Thank you for your positive feedback. We make regular updates to the app so feel free to check these out!

Do not recommend

I looked at this app because AR bookfinder was missing some of the books I know are AR books. This app missed even more. Especially books that other apps picked up. Definitely do not recommend.

Scanner is not always accurate

Several times the scanner states the book is not found, but I am able to find it when typing the title in the search bar. I would say the scanner has been about 90% accurate however.

Idea

I’ve used this app for a little bit and it is really useful but I have one suggestion that I think could really help. PLEASE put an “add all to library” button in history! This would make adding things to the library so much easier.

This is a great app would recommend. I also really love the scan feature!

Sometimes Inaccurate

I love the scanner and I love that I can add books to be read and then mark off what’s been read, but I can’t look books up by title, and the scanner and ISBN sometimes return inaccurate results, saying the book is not an AR book, when it is. So whenever it says something is not an AR book, I have to go to the AR website and look it up the long way anyway. I assume it’s because I might have an old or unusual edition (we get many of our books used). If they could add a search by title feature in the app, that would be great so I could still add those books to our book shelf.

Good app, Great potential

I overall think this app has a very promising potential. Unlike some other AR apps I’ve tried, this one’s ISBN scanner actually works. I also like how it functions as a AR assistant, not just a scanner. However, there are a few key points where this app could be improved. For one, you should have the option to look up books by title/author, not just by ISBN. This would be helpful when I don’t have the book on me at the time and don’t want to have to look up it’s ISBN number. Another helpful feature would be points tracking. I would like to know how many points I have achieved over the year/quarter/semester. After all, It’s called an AR book assistant, not AR book lookup. Overall, I think that this is a great app, and with a few added features and design tweaks, this could become the best AR app out there.
