Used to work

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.

Awful

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

Doesn't even deserve one star

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.

Getting Worse

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.

Bad app

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

Too much tapping

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.

Amazing

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

Keeps crashing

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.

Disappointing

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.

Love it

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.

Um….

Make an update…..

ISBN scanner is pointless

Why have an ISBN scanner if every time you scan it the app tells you that it cannot find the information? Which is funny because when I scan it, a photo of the book shows up, but it doesn’t input the title or the author. Pointless !

Disappointing

Our library uses this app and it works half the time to bring up books I’ve read my kids. It will pull up a photo of the correct book but then tell me it can’t find it and I have to then manually type in each book and author. So clunky, and when I look to see if there is an update or something to fix this, there hasn’t been. I hope they do something about this. The other half of the time it works okay but there is a 10 second waiting period for the system to process. I would use a different system if it were available.

Ugh, it hurts.

I hate to say it, but the app is borderline painful to use. It’s so wildly outdated. And now it doesn’t even seem to be auto-filling titles and authors anymore, which makes logging our 1,000 books all the more tedious. I genuinely dread having to update my kid’s reading log.

Grant access banner never goes away.

No, this app does not need access to the camera. The banner never goes away. No way to dismiss it, or really to navigate within the app. Truly a miserable UI.

Can’t scan the barcodes. Dosnt work

.

Scan doesn’t work

So excited when I saw you could scan books but it hasn’t worked once.

Annoying

I can’t login. So I wanted to login my summer reading so I got the right password and username but it just says it’s wrong. So annoying

An app so bad I prefer to use paper

Our library uses this for its reading programs. The user interface and options are so bad that I can’t stand using it. It’s slow and it doesn’t have basic features like being able to lookup a book by ISBN, or easily signing up for multiple programs with one profile.

App Doesn’t Even Work

App is useless because I can’t even get my library added onto it it has me select the library and when I click continue it has me select it again only this time the continue button does not work.
