### 1/5 — Used to work

*2026-07-14, version 3.10*

It used to work and even had a list of booked to choose from.  Now it doesn’t seem to work at all - it doesn’t remember my login or the reading program we joined, and you have to type the name of the book entirely.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-18, version 3.10*

Terrible app, why do I have to log in every single time I open it?!

### 1/5 — Doesn't even deserve one star

*2026-06-15, version 3.10*

Honestly doesn't even deserve one star terrible app, if your planing on getting this for your child, don't.It doesn't even fit my screen and is very glitchy,waste of storage,ect. I regret getting this app. Please at all cost don't get this app and avoid at all cost.Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this,please don't get this for your child.

### 1/5 — Getting Worse

*2026-06-15, version 3.10*

The app has been a clunky way to participate in my libraries summer reading program (my third year using). The new update has added the horrible feature of kicking me out every hour, so I have to go through the ‘find library’ and ‘log in’ process multiple times a day. Went from an annoying app last year to extremely frustrating this year.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-06-15, version 3.10*

It really does not work well if you have to use this app for school like my teachers are making me use it dont use the app it’s out dated and clunky instead use the website on a computer the website does not fit on a phone or on a tablet

### 1/5 — Too much tapping

*2026-06-13, version 3.10*

Every time I launch the app, I have to search for my library and login. It’s so annoying. Once I’m in, the app is pretty good. But the logging in process is ridiculous and there’s no way to save my library or login.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-11, version 3.10*

Tracks my reading and I use it daily for summer reading and I really like it

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-06-09, version 3.10*

I’m using this app because of a summer reading program. The app keeps crashing and I can’t log my reading. Very frustrating experience.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-06-09, version 2.50*

This app was horrible. There was no introduction to tell you what to do or how to log your reading hours. You are unable to see your hours after you log them and 10 buttons you don’t know what to do with. The app says 4+ and I am definitely older than four and I am confused.Very disappointing but it is free but still could be a lot better.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-03, version 2.35*

My friends and I use this app. I love it! It has prizes and library challenges on it. I just wish you could see more pics of the prizes.
