It is so much easier to find ar books with this

Love his app
IBIt is fun but…..

Malfunctioning

It doesn’t scan every book at the library. It keeps saying it not found. But I know they are in my children’s AR level. It doesn’t work as it should. Out of 10 books, it scanned once. Unreliable!

Doesn’t Find Books

Many books that are available on the Renaissance book find website don’t show up here. It used to work years ago but doesn’t seem to anymore.
