For the free version you get only so many scans per day. A scan should not count if you do not have it in your database. **Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced issues leveling some of your books. There are a number of different reasons why QuickScan may not identify the book you are scanning, even though it connects to online sources for AR and Lexile information. QuickScan utilizes a number of different sources to identify the title of the book by the barcode that you scan, but some publishing houses issue many barcodes for the same title and they are not all listed in the AR database (while the title of the book may be). If it can’t find the barcode in the AR database, then it will make several attempts to identify the title of the book and then search AR based on the title and author. Still, there are times where this does not properly identify the book you are scanning. I am constantly trying to improve QuickScan, so I would really appreciate it if you would send me (help@ifthendev.com) the title and author of the books that aren’t working along with a picture of the barcode that you are scanning. This will help me do some research and see if there are additional improvements that can be implemented. One thing that I’ve noticed is that some books will have a second barcode inside the front cover of the book. This barcode typically works better than the one on the back of the book. As far as the limited number of scans in the free version, only successfully identified books count towards the daily limit. QuickScan scans and positively identifies thousands of books per day, and it does work for the vast majority of books that our users scan. With that being said, I am constantly trying to improve identification and accuracy, so I would really appreciate you sending along additional information to me so I can continue to improve. ### 3/5 — Works great but the description is misleading *2025-02-04* In the description it says no hidden fees or subscription required but this is misleading as there is a limit to the number of books that can be searched in a day without a subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you for using QuickScan. I'm glad to hear that it works great for you. I want the description to be clear and I am not trying to mislead anyone. As you say, anyone can use QuickScan for no fee for a limited number of scans per day forever. There are never any ads, your information is not tracked, uploaded anywhere, or sold. For users who require a higher number of scans per day, QuickScan does offer unlimited scanning for a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time fee. If someone subscribes and then cancels, they are still able to use QuickScan daily for a small number of scans. If you have any questions, have additional feedback, or would like to discuss this in more detail, please email help@ifthendev.com and I'd be happy to discuss this further. ### 3/5 — Wrong Levels *2025-01-10* Many books were incorrectly leveled. Many were correct, but I can’t count on this app. **Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with QuickScan Book Leveler providing you accurate information.

This is a great application, I wish I could save all the scanned books for my classroom library. **Developer response:** Thank you for using QuickScan and for leaving feedback. QuickScan was designed to be very fast and efficient at leveling books. If you are interested in an app that scans and saves the book into a library, I recommend you look at another app that we've made called BookScanner Book Leveler. This app was designed to level books and store them. It's been on the App Store for more than a decade and is highly rated. If you have any questions, or would like more details, please email help@ifthendev.com. ### 2/5 — titles not coming up *2024-03-15* I downloaded this app and paid for the monthly subscription, but most of the books I’m scanning don’t even come up, so it feels like a waste of money **Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with QuickScan Book Leveler providing you information.

Doesn’t have hardly ANY older books. No place to change settings or anything. What a scam. ### 1/5 — Not fast or consistent *2025-07-10, version 5.2.1* Mine keeps telling me the info is unknown and then my daughter scans it and it pops up. And it’s slow ### 1/5 — Just ok *2025-06-26* I live the feed back this app gives on the books I scan but I wish it would save them somewhere. There’s no way to go back and look at the books I have previously scanned. It be 5 starts and worth the monthly fee if it saved the scanned books. **Developer response:** Thank you for using QuickScan and for trying the app. I'm glad to hear that you like the information that is provided when you scan books. QuickScan was designed to be a quick, light-weight ISBN scanner to provide instant book leveling information, and I'm glad to hear that it is meeting those promises. I will take your feedback into account as I evaluate features for future versions. ### 1/5 — Says 0 *2025-03-02* Look I before I payed it said 0 for everything but after I paid it still said 0 and it’s misleading because it says you don’t have to pay overall big scam. **Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with QuickScan Book Leveler providing you information.

It was amazing. So I decided to buy it. I have hundreds of books I need to scan. At first, every other book was not being detected. Now, almost every one. **Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with QuickScan Book Leveler providing you information.

I purchased the one-time payment option and almost immediately the app would not recognize any of newly scanned books or books I had scanned prior to purchasing the app. I’m not sure if the app just glitches out when you make a purchase or if it is just a bait and hook scheme but the app doesn’t work and I am not out 25 dollars. As an educator, this app would be a huge time saver for me which is why I purchased it. If the developer can read this, I would either like my issue to be resolved, or would like my money back. Hoping this can be resolved. **Developer response:** Hello. I'm sorry to hear that you experienced issues with QuickScan not recognizing books. If you are still having issues, please email help@ifthendev.com and I'll work with you to get this resolved ASAP - definitely not a scam or the intended experience. I'm only now seeing this review, so I apologize for the slow response. Please send an email if there is anything I can do to help. Thank you. ### 1/5 — App crashes constantly *2022-10-08* After 3-4 scans, the app glitches and you have to shut down the app and restart. Other than that, easy to use and solid. **Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with QuickScan. I have not had other reports of this, and do not see crash reports from Apple. I would like to help you through this and learn more about what you are seeing.
