Notes:
The ISBN scanner feature requires a device with an auto-focus camera (e.g. iPhone 3GS or newer, iPad 3 or newer) for native camera support. If you have a fixed-focus device (e.g. iPad 2) we use a companion app for scanning that will be seamless to you. We will walk you through it when you launch the scanner.

This app also requires internet connectivity (e.g. WiFi, 3G, 4G, LTE) to communicate with our back end service to bring you the great features of this app.

Reviews

Difficult to use
KMitas

When scanning books the same book pops up for many different isbn and I have to take time searching manually. Also the levels are often not correct.


Does not work
Kinder Tchr

I tried to level 30+ books from my kindergarten library. Not a single book I scanned (including popular titles) was in their library. This app was completely useless. ?


Worst purchase ever
ffjdksjevevdjcj

I bought this thinking it would help level my classroom library. I wish I was joking when I say that this app literally had zero of the books that I had. Save the money and use Scholastic Book Wizard instead. It’s free and it has almost all of the books that you would have in your classroom library. I need my money back now.


Great for managing my classroom library!
Fergygirls

I love this app for managing my classroom library!


No Impressed
long220

Not impressed. I wish I could receive a refund. The two books I just scanned searching for the level, neither was listed. As a teacher, I also thought their recommendations for specific grade levels were not for independent reading (student led reading), which is really what I was looking for ideas. Disappointing.


Don’t waste your money!
aymie76

This app is pointless.. waste of $4 bucks.. every time I try to scan a book it says not found!


Egregiously lacking for the $$$$$
gingerspiceytexasdicey

I’m seriously disappointed for a $5 app. Do not expect much. The developer has LOTS to improve on and since this has been around for minimum two years, I’m not sure it will ever happen. If you’re looking for an app to offer a range of age-appropriate and new suggestions starting from Kindergarten, do not buy. If you’re looking for an app to help you conveniently convert your child’s school books across all genres to use the scale by which your child is assessed, do not buy this app. If you would like to filter your search by reading level or interest, do not buy this app. -Does it have an ISBN scanner? Yes. -Will the scanner find your book? 50/50 chance, higher if it’s a popular book publisher. -If the book is in the program’s database, will it convert your personal books’ levels for you? You have a 99% chance they do NOT have it already leveled, nor converted, in their database. -Does it have suggestions by grade level? The programmer has grouped K-1st together, then 2nd-3rd, then 4th-5th, then middle school, and lastly high school. As most people know, skill level by each grade varies remarkably. -How many suggestions in each category? About 20-25, they appear to be the popular stuff that every well-read parent already has in their personal library such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Corduroy, The Giving Tree, Charlotte’s Web, etc. -Who converts or levels the books? Who knows? Anyone who registers as a teacher can submit a rating or level. In summation, this app neither helped me level nor convert books I already have for my children and it also did not offer me any creative, new suggestions to help me to expand my children’s interests. If you still buy, just know the developer has made it where his/her paying customers can level/convert/rate the book if they want to do the developer’s job. If you’re a parent and an underpaid teacher like me, is your $5 worth it?


Only identified a few books
blueyes824

I just purchased this app for my classroom with school funds. I wish I could get a refund. I just scanned 30 books and only 5 were identified with a reading level. Approximately 10 weren’t even in the database. This is very frustrating. Now my students are suffering because of an inferior product.


No help!
Lindsey Clare

Have yet to find a book that is either in the database or is actually leveled. Wasted my money!


Buy if you want to donate $5
golaysh

I’ve scanned over 20 books only 1 found. It’s useless.
