We would love to hear from you!  If you have any issues, questions, or suggestions, please use the Contact Us page in the app or email us at support@levelitbooks.com.  You can also visit us at levelitbooks.com, on Facebook at facebook.com/LevelItBooks, and on Twitter @LevelItBooks.

Notes: 
The ISBN scanner feature requires a device with an auto-focus camera (e.g. iPhone 3GS or newer, iPad 3 or newer) for native camera support.  If you have a fixed-focus device (e.g. iPad 2) we use a companion app for scanning that will be seamless to you.  We will walk you through it when you launch the scanner.

This app also requires internet connectivity (e.g. WiFi, 3G, 4G, LTE) to communicate with our back end service to bring you the great features of this app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-03-04, version 3.0.1*

The scanner doesn’t work which is the only reason I bought the app. Customer service hasn’t responded in over a week. It’s a waste of money

### 1/5 — App needs leveled up

*2026-02-08, version 3.0.1*

Don’t waste your money or time. Very disappointed. Scan is touchy and takes too long to register. So far 1 of 4-5 of our books are in database with grade level (reason I bought app) and our books are all normal assigned reading in public schools. So much info is free today that when someone charges you expect quality. Wasted $5.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Scan

*2025-05-13, version 3.0.1*

The app clearly hasn’t been updated in years. The keyboard is old iPhone style and the phone camera scanner doesn’t work, it’s just blurry and won’t scan. Waste of my money.

### 1/5 — Not helpful at all - do not recommend!

*2024-05-05, version 3.0.1*

I just purchased this app after trying several other free ones (I thought since I was paying for it, it must be a good one!), and was sorely disappointed by how primitive it appears, and how few reading levels I actually received for my trouble. Where can I request a refund?

### 1/5 — Not very sufficient

*2024-01-23, version 3.0.1*

Does not really provide levels unless you sign up as a teacher. As a homeschooling mom I attempted to email to change what I signed up as so I could get the proper book levels but never received a response. You would figure if you have to pay for an app that you’d get the levels for the books regardless of what you sign up as. I don’t recommend this app if your looking for an app to find out reading levels.

### 1/5 — Limited Information

*2023-11-27*

Every book I have scanned is not in the app. A waste of money.

### 1/5 — The scanner isn’t working at all and the app keeps crashing

*2023-09-27, version 3.0.1*

I hate I paid for this. Can’t scan the books. Takes more time to manually enter all the information. Then on top of that, it shuts down completely when certain tabs are selected.

### 1/5 — What a Mistake Buying This!

*2023-08-18, version 3.0.1*

Being a school librarian, we get donations and would like to properly assign a reading level. Not only does the scanner rarely work, but there are virtually no books in this app with information or reading levels assigned to books that were finely identified. What a waste of $5!

### 1/5 — Why is this app available for purchase??

*2023-06-30, version 3.0.1*

I purchased this app from a review on a website. I should have checked their Facebook page first and read reviews.. no activity since 2018!! The books in our personal library.. most are popular children's books.. are either not found on the app or don't have any level information available. Sent an email with no response.

### 2/5 — Very Limited User Features

*2022-11-20, version 3.0.1*

Want to change your email address because it’s been updated sometime in the last 10 years? You can’t. Want to combine some of libraries? You can’t. Want to search all of your library‘s? It looks like you can but the results are always zero., even if the book is already a part of one of your libraries. Many titles are not in their database and even if they are don’t expect them to provide reading levels. I do like that I can check to see if I have a particular title… If I can only guess correctly which leveled library it might be in.
