Pretty good

Love the but it is super slow some times and when I tipe the first few words then it just loads for like a hour but other then that I would totally recommend it ❤️❤️❤️

It is so much easier to find ar books with this

Love his app

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.

Terrible

The app will not let me download it. The worst app ever.

Exits me out

When I am using the app, i click on the barcode sign and scan my book. Then when i go back, and scan another book, it gets all glitchy and just stops. But, easy solution, just click on the barcode button on the bottom. Now i went to search up a book on this app (i was online shopping for books) and i go search up the authors last name: Reid. The author is Taylor Jenkins Reid, and I scroll down all the way to the bottom, and her name is there! I click on it, nothing happens. I click on it again. And the app just closes. I tried clicking on the authors before and after her name, and they worked perfectly fine.

Most titles missing

Many titles are missing compared to arbook finder’s website. Kind of useless if i have to check another site.

Doesn’t Find All Quizzes

When this app works, it’s great. The problem is that too often when I scan a book, it says there is no quiz. When I type it in on my laptop, it finds a quiz. This app is hit or miss.

Not easy to use

It was so hard for me to get the book code and like the other review said it Doesn’t find books

Not as good as others

This app is not as good as some others available. It might not be getting updated, not sure, but unable to find some books books that should be listed. Wish I could get a refund.

Not Accurate

This app does not find books that are accelerated reader. Even using the bar code or typing the title it is unable to find titles. I have to use my laptop to find the quiz numbers and levels. It would have been helpful to use this app on the go if it searched correctly to find books.

Unreliable

The app keeps closing on me as I search for an author. Many books are not in the system. Also, it constantly autocorrects book names and author names on me when searching for something specific. Can’t this feature be turned off? Finally, when looking for a book title, some are simply impossible to find because of how they have been logged. For example, “The Swindler’s Treasure” will be in the system as, “The Swindler”s Treasure.” Why???

Can’t search

Suddenly I cant search by name or author. But if I scan the barcode it comes up.

Freezes

Freezes when using app. Some difficulty locating popular authors & titles.

Horrible:/

This app never works for me. I always try to scan the books for my child and it will freeze and kick me out of the app. Horrible!!!!

Not great

The app closes all of a sudden after a few searches. A lot of times the books won’t pull up by their title, but will if you search by the author’s last name. A lot of work to find book info.

Loading...

Just downloaded. Scans into an endless loading screen.

Books are in AR system but don’t appear when barcode is scanned

Using the Accelerated Reader program to level books. Many books in this app say they can’t find barcode but the book in actually in the system using either author name or book title. May want to update barcodes for scanning purposes.

This app needs work!

It’s useful yes, but it needs work. You can’t find certain books which are definitely in the point system. Please fix this problem.

Very Buggy

The app is great, but has tons of bugs and a new update hasn’t been released in six months (as of November 14). The scanner tends to misread codes that start with a zero, and rotating my device by accident doesn’t scale the view to fit the screen properly, whether I start in portrait or landscape. Also, a few characters commonly used in book titles are misinterpreted when I type them into search and are shown as a different character in search results (including the apostrophe, which is misinterpreted as quotation marks ").
