### 1/5 — So many Ads :(

*2026-05-18, version 6.1.0*

we used to love the Scan feature to see if a book is AR and get the quiz number but at this point you can’t even scan a book without being stuck watching the same game ad for over 5 minutes with no X to close it out. completely unusable app at this point
Why did you do this ?! make the ads shorter and give us the opportunity to close it out

### 1/5 — It doesn’t scan

*2026-02-08, version 5.5.0*

It was not great bc I tried by scanning a book that I knew was on ar but it didn’t work

### 1/5 — Inappropriate ads on the bottom

*2026-01-07, version 5.5.0*

I downloaded this for my 5th grade daughter and there were images of barely dressed women on the bottom of the app.

### 1/5 — Great concept, great outcomes

*2025-10-15, version 5.5.0*

The app is very primitive.  I had assumed there was a newer edition, but there isn’t.   Can’t find bestselling, awarded books.

### 1/5 — Don’t pay for the paid version!

*2025-03-08, version 5.2.2*

Paid for the version where I could see the quizzes but it doesn’t work. Requesting a refund!

### 4/5 — It ok

*2025-03-07, version 5.2.2*

I thought it reads the book

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-12-25, version 5.2.2*

Nice

### 5/5 — Great scan and searching

*2024-12-07, version 5.2.2*

Love the app.  I was wondering if you would be able to do the following.  When you scan a book and it's not in the system if you automatically recommend it to be entered to the AR folks to get into the system. I reached out to them on how to do bulk upload requests from the local libraries but they cannot do it.

### 2/5 — Scan feature doesn’t work

*2024-11-05*

Scan feature is the main feature people want to use and i never got one book to scan. The search feature works but you can just as easily create a bookmark on a web browser.

### 1/5 — Can’t use this …..

*2024-11-04, version 5.2.2*

When I wanted to scan my book it just wouldn’t scan and it won’t recognise any books I do under stand if it’s a new book but
 Like can’t even recognise the classics just none of my school books I’m sorry to say it didn’t actually help me
