## What is Classroom Checkout?

Classroom Checkout™ makes it super easy to manage checkouts from your classroom children's book library. Your students can check out books by simply scanning barcodes.*

• A student scans a book's barcode to check out or in. 
• The teacher can see currently checked out books.
• The teacher manages student accounts, assigning login codes.
• The teacher can manage the classroom library. 

Classroom Checkout is designed to be installed on a shared iOS device, with each student and the teacher using a numeric login code to access the app.

An online manual for Classroom Checkout is available at fikesfarm.com 

* Classroom Checkout requires a scannable barcode on each book. This can either be the ISBN or UPC barcode commonly found on the back cover, or any EAN-13 barcode label affixed to the cover.

## Key features

- Student barcode scanning for checkouts/check-ins
- View currently checked out books
- Manage student accounts with login codes
- Manage classroom library collection
- Numeric login codes for students and teachers

### 1/5 — No

*2022-05-03, version 2.0.1*

No

### 3/5 — Could be so much better

*2021-08-24, version 2.0.1*

This app is really good when it comes to checking in and out books and keeping track of your library but it would be much nicer if I could go to my library and click on a title to see which student checked that particular title out and when. For example, I have a stack of books on my desk and now I have to go through each student to see who checked out instead of going directly to that book to see who had it. It would be even cooler if I could scan the book and see who had it checked out and I could check it back in that way.

### 1/5 — Password

*2020-08-21, version 2.0.1*

This won’t let me log in with the password it
required. A waste of $5.99.

### 3/5 — No updates lately

*2020-02-24, version 2.0.1*

There’s hasn’t been app updates in 2 years. It’s a great app, but it needs to definitely be updated

### 1/5 — No Customer Support

*2019-09-29, version 2.0.1*

I purchased this app to organize my classroom library checkout and to inventory all of my books.  I paid for the app, and I also spent $40 for their barcodes for my ton of older books that didn’t have barcodes or had shared barcodes.  I used my phone to scan everything in over the summer.  I tried to set everything up on my classroom iPad so that my students could use it to check out books.  I can’t get my books to show up on the iPad.  I have contacted the company multiple times for assistance, and they have NEVER replied.  It is a waste.  I can’t even use the program even after the hours I spent scanning in my library and the money that I spent.  Very disappointed!

### 3/5 — Pros and cons

*2019-08-02, version 2.0.1*

Loves: 
Ease of scanning
Cover art shown in list
Ability to add a class full of users
iCloud sync
No maximum number of books
Super responsive customer service

Quirks:
No search feature
Old appearance
Can’t customize landing page
No sort by author function
Manual not very helpful
Picture of cover doesn’t detect title or author
Free labels wouldn’t scan

### 2/5 — Functional, but Disappointed

*2019-07-24, version 2.0.1*

This app has potential, but is really basic without the functionality of some helpful data. I'd love to be able to see how often a book is checked out, more info about my student's habits, etc.

### 3/5 — Good app, but missing some key features

*2019-07-19, version 2.0.1*

This app is a great way to keep track of the books in my library, and easy for my students to use to check out books. Scanning books in goes fairly quickly, though it can take a little time if you have a lot of books like I do. I like how you can add in books manually if they don’t have a barcode, and you can change the picture of the cover to make it match your copy of the book. It’s also nice that you can keep track of how many copies of a book you have, and add multiple bar codes. 

However, there are a few key features that I was surprised to see aren’t on the app. Books are organized alphabetically by title, and that’s the only option. I wish there was an option to organize by author or genre, or even just to search for a book. It would also be nice if the app synched with multiple devices, so I could keep track on my own phone while my students check in their books on a classroom device. 

I’ve seen a few reviews that are similar to mine, so I hope that these features could be added with a later update. Otherwise, this will make keeping track of my classroom library a lot easier! Thank you!

### 4/5 — Make a search feature

*2019-07-08, version 2.0.1*

I hope you are maintaining this app. Nervous that updates in over a year

### 3/5 — Amazing app with some kinks

*2019-07-07, version 2.0.1*

I love this app because it is simple and easy to use. It gets the job done. It’s easy for students to check books in and out and for me to see what students have books out. I wish there was a search feature, a count of how many books are in the library, a way to categorize books, and more personalized features in general to make it fit to each teachers classroom. Several books that I have scanned in have not been registered in the system and I have entered them manually but I do like the simplicity of scanning books to add to the library rather than manually adding each one.
