What's New in QuickScan for Schools
6.6
October 23, 2026
New ways to find a book when its barcode won't scan. - Type Title — A new Home screen tile looks a book up by its title, with the author if you know it. It is on iPhone, iPad and Mac. - Scan Cover — A new Home screen tile opens the camera on the book itself. Pick Cover, Spine or ISBN for what you're pointing at, then tap Capture. If QuickScan reads a valid ISBN, it looks the book up; otherwise it opens Type Title with the title and author it read filled in, and nothing is looked up until you check them and search. Scan Cover appears on iPhone and iPad models whose camera can read text, and not on Mac. - The ISBN printed on the book — Some book-fair and book-club editions carry a store barcode that isn't the book's ISBN, with the ISBN printed in digits above it. Choose ISBN in Scan Cover and hold the printed digits inside the frame, and the book is looked up as if you had scanned its barcode. - Store barcodes — A store barcode, or another barcode that isn't a book's ISBN, now gets its own message saying so, with Type the title offered beside it, and Scan the cover where the camera can be used. - When a book isn't found — Book Not Found offers Type the title, and Scan the cover where the camera can be used. Connection Problem offers Try again. - A barcode remembered — When a barcode isn't found and you then find the book by its title, QuickScan keeps that barcode with the book, and scanning it again opens the book from your History. The book's detail screen lists it as Scanned barcode, with a button to remove it. - Smarter Title Reading — On supported iPhones and iPads, Settings carries a Smarter Title Reading switch under Scanning. It helps pick out the title and author when you capture a cover, runs entirely on the device, and can be turned off. If your device has no such switch, there is nothing to turn on. - Other bug fixes and minor improvements Everything unlocked, as always — no in-app purchases, no subscriptions.
