Nice app!

Really helped me organize my classroom library

Response from developer

Thank you! Glad to hear ReadOtter is helping keep your classroom library organized.

It won’t recognize any bar codes

I really like how this app looks but every book I scan says “no book found”. I have well over a 1000+ books in my classroom library so I don’t have time to put them in manually.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! We'd love to resolve this with you directly. Please send us an email at contact@readotter.com. While not every book is in the database, we have many teachers scanning large libraries into the app, so we're confident we can help.

I want to love this app

I really want to love this app, but it won’t recognize anything I scan. I have a large classroom library and don’t have time to manually enter every single book. What a shame.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this! We would love to troubleshoot this with you directly and get it resolved quickly. Please send us a message at contact@readotter.com or through the app in Settings > Contact Us. We have a lot of teachers using ReadOtter to scan in large libraries, so we're confident we can help.
