The app keeps crashing and I can’t log my reading. Very frustrating experience. ### 1/5 — Ugh, it hurts. *2026-03-04, version 2.35* 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 It’s so wildly outdated.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. ### 1/5 — Grant access banner never goes away. *2025-12-16, version 2.34* 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. ### 2/5 — Can’t scan the barcodes. Dosnt work *2025-10-23, version 2.11* . ### 2/5 — Scan doesn’t work *2025-07-02, version 2.11* So excited when I saw you could scan books but it hasn’t worked once. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-06-28, version 2.11* 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 ### 2/5 — An app so bad I prefer to use paper *2025-06-16, version 2.11* 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. ### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Even Work *2025-06-07, version 2.11* 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible! Paper logging would be so much easier! *2025-06-02, version 2.11* My library uses this for their reading programs it’s terrible glitchy and non intuitive. Paper logging would be easier. You can tell someone from the government made this it has that incompetent but institutionalized vibe. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2025-05-10, version 2.11* Go to select reading program and login with class link as directed, just kicks me back to the select reading program page. Trying to login any other way fails too. Junk app, just use the website instead. I’d rate a zero but that’s not possible. ### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER! *2024-07-22, version 2.11* I was doing may Sumer reading, then BANG! It all disappeared and added me the the 0-6 Sumer reading. DO NOT GET THIS APP. ### 3/5 — It’s good for it’s purpose *2024-07-04, version 2.11* Yes it’s fun to make avatars and stuff but overall it’s and app to log your reading and it does that pretty well despite a few crashes and bugs. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2023-06-21, version 2.11* If you forget your log in and password there is no way to reset it ### 1/5 — This App<🗑️🔥 *2023-06-09* Hard to navigate, difficult to understand, crashes, and freezes up Don’t waste your storage space 🤮 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Um…. *2026-05-29, version 2.35* Make an update….. ### 1/5 — ISBN scanner is pointless *2026-04-19, version 2.35* 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 ! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-03-30, version 2.35* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Summer Reading *2024-06-12, version 2.11* Use it for summer reading at my library. I’m used to using the website each year, which is awful, laggy, and I had to sign in each time. This year I had the sense to just get the app and it’s so much better. Basically the website but not laggy and I don’t have to sign in each time. :) ### 5/5 — ITS AMAZING *2023-08-21, version 2.11* that’s all it’s amazing ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-06-10, version 2.11* Never had a bug or buffers ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-06-06, version 2.11* Such an amazingly great app my nieces and nephews enjoy it very much. ### 5/5 — I like this app *2023-05-23, version 2.11* To be honest, I really like this app. It's easy for me to use and log minutes. This has been very helpful to stay connected with reading :) I haven't experienced any bugs. I see a lot of hate, but I haven't experienced anything bad with this app :) ### 5/5 — I love this app *2022-06-06, version 2.0* I like this app because I use to hate to have to go online and log books(so slow)If you get the app and type enter name and password and you can log book it will so log then click the X. I assume you get the app ### 5/5 — Happy :)) *2021-07-10, version 1.75* DOMT LISTEN TO THE OTHER REVIEWS I USE THIS WITH MY LIBRARY AND ITS AMAZING ### 4/5 — Just has one little problem... *2020-06-01, version 1.75* The app is very convenient for mobile use for the summer reading program. Very good. The one problem I have with it is that, when you login, the library card number is labeled “username,” and the PIN is labeled “password.” A bit confusing compared to the login screen on the web browser. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
