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 â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Love his app
It doesnât scan every book at the library. It keeps saying it not found. But I know they are in my childrenâs AR level. It doesnât work as it should. Out of 10 books, it scanned once. Unreliable!
Many books that are available on the Renaissance book find website donât show up here. It used to work years ago but doesnât seem to anymore.
The app will not let me download it. The worst app ever.
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.

Many titles are missing compared to arbook finderâs website. Kind of useless if i have to check another site.
When this app works, itâs 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.
It was so hard for me to get the book code and like the other review said it Doesnât find books
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.
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.
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. Canât 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, âThe Swindlerâs Treasureâ will be in the system as, âThe Swindlerâs Treasure.â Why???

Suddenly I cant search by name or author. But if I scan the barcode it comes up.
Freezes when using app. Some difficulty locating popular authors & titles.
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!!!!
The app closes all of a sudden after a few searches. A lot of times the books wonât pull up by their title, but will if you search by the authorâs last name. A lot of work to find book info.
Just downloaded. Scans into an endless loading screen.
Using the Accelerated Reader program to level books. Many books in this app say they canât 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.
Itâs useful yes, but it needs work. You canât find certain books which are definitely in the point system. Please fix this problem.
The app is great, but has tons of bugs and a new update hasnât 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 doesnât 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 ").
