BookScanner Book Leveler App Reviews

by ToeDoe2021

I’ve used BookScanner for several years now. Today while using BookScannerBookLevelerApp , it would continue to not scan my barcodes correctly. So I looked back at some previous reviews and saw that others were having problems in the last few months.

Someone with app company said to delete BookScannerBookLevelerApp and reinstall. Well, I did that and now ALLLLL of my history of books (over thousand of books) are missing from my history!!! I’m sooo incredibly frustrated and disappointed as I use this for my classroom library to keep track of books I have purchased! Ughhhhhh!!!

At first I was happy to use BookScannerBookLevelerApp instead of having to type every book into the AR book finder website to find the quiz numbers and reading levels. But then the students started coming to me saying that the book quiz didn’t match the title or it wasn’t on the website. So now I have to check all the books that I scanned to make sure they are AR books and have the right quiz number printed. Don’t purchase it. I regret it and haven’t used it since.

I purchased BookScannerBookLevelerApp to help my daughter’s teacher “level” some new books in her collection. Unfortunately, the standard GRL system that the school uses does not show up in the information after you scan a book. It looks like a decent app otherwise, but didn’t do the one function that I was looking for.

I’m a mom using BookScannerBookLevelerApp . It works most of the time. There are some books I can find on Renaissance but not through BookScannerBookLevelerApp . I’d love to be able to add check marks to books my son has tested on. I love the ability to scan on BookScannerBookLevelerApp but then have to run to Renaissance to see if my son has taken an AR on the book.

I got BookScannerBookLevelerApp so I can scan the barcodes and not have to go to the AR website and type in the name of the book. But many many times the barcode says not found but the book is found when you type in the title to search.

When searching for a book title, if only one book comes up, I can easily “Add to History”. But if a list of books pulls up and I select the one I want, it takes me to a new page and the “Add to History” link is Greyed out. I use the add to history feature a lot to help remember books my child has read before he can take the AR tests.

Also, a lot of scholastic books and Scooby-Doo! Books pull up a Spanish title when the barcode is scanned. These are books that are on the AR list and I can find them if I type in the title, but the barcode scanning function is not finding the correct book.

I am happy with BookScannerBookLevelerApp. But I would love for it to have a couple features not currently available.
It would be a huge help if we can put a check mark next to the books that have been read.
I have more than one child’s book list here and it’s getting harder to keep up with who’s read which book. Maybe adding a few different color check marks can help tell who read what also. That would make this 5 stars

Every Junie B. Jones book I scan comes back at Dinosaurs Before Dark unless I type in the ISBN. So it appears if it can’t find a book, the default is Dinosaurs Before Dark.
Tips: make it easier to search by ISBN (not have to scan a UPC to pull it up)
Make it easier to search multiple books (instead of going back to home screen each time)

Update: reached out to developer via FB page. Quick response and quick fix. Thank you for your responsiveness. Excited to upload my personal library into BookScannerBookLevelerApp . Thanks!
Have had BookScannerBookLevelerApp for about three days and it won’t connect to AR today. Was able to scan a few books using my iPad when I first downloaded BookScannerBookLevelerApp and those didn’t transfer to BookScannerBookLevelerApp on my iPhone. Disappointing to think I can’t switch between devices to scan the books into one database. Overall disappointed. Not worth the money.

LOVE!!!! As a teacher always looking for books to fill my classroom library, BookScannerBookLevelerApp is a lifesaver! I can quickly scan the barcode at a garage sale or goodwill and know immediately if it is appropriate for my students. Seriously don’t know what I’d do without BookScannerBookLevelerApp!!

by Hello Readers

I love BookScannerBookLevelerApp . Please add the option to mark the book as loaned and if it is a favorite. Please also allow a setting to add multiple books without having to hit scan each time. There is so much potential for BookScannerBookLevelerApp for teachers and parents.

I’m a Second Grade Teacher and I used BookScannerBookLevelerApp all the time, last year my students even used it with ease. It was so helpful in finding the AR level and number. It hasn’t worked yet, for the 2 1/2 months we’ve been at school. It keeps saying it can’t find the Accelerated Reader site, whether I’m using our schools network or my own personal network or any other network. It used to be great.

*Revision two days later: I deleted BookScannerBookLevelerApp and reinstalled it, as recommended by the developer. It’s working great now!!! I’m so thrilled. I took my rating from a 2-star to a 5-star!!

I used to have to log into my daughters account and punch in all the numbers on the barcode of the books to find out something so simple like the AR level. Now it’s just one beep and I know the info. It makes life so much easier.

I have mixed feelings about BookScannerBookLevelerApp because it works effectively as described; but if you want the Lexile number, you have to pay an additional fee!!!

I bought BookScannerBookLevelerApp to locate the Lexile levels of books that aren’t already listed elsewhere. I’m an Asst. Librarian serving parents of school children, so I look up Lexile levels often. I can’t afford to pay this additional fee for every book!

This rating would be 5 stars if I didn’t have to pay an additional fee for the Lexile numbers for the books.

My child needs to read books for the AR program and BookScannerBookLevelerApp makes it so easy to determine if the books she selects are eligible for a quiz and helps us determine if it's at her reading level. We use it all the time at the bookstore and library as well as books we have at home.

This is the best $1.99 I’ve ever spent for school related apps. I have hundreds of books in my class, but I’ve never finished creating an AR library because it was just too daunting. With BookScannerBookLevelerApp, I can scan all my books, pull the ones that are AR, print my list, and make labels at home—so incredibly handy!

BookScannerBookLevelerApp has been a great help while looking for books for my children! I wish I could type in the titles but being able to scan the barcode is also great too! Love BookScannerBookLevelerApp ! I think it’s well worth the small amount of money paid!

If you’re child does the AR (accelerated reader) program at school this ap is a time saver. It allows you to scan the barcode on the back of the book and you get the reading level, quiz number, title and author. My stress level has been reduced by having this ap on my phone when shopping for books, at the library and for the books we have at home. Love it! I will be telling my children’s teachers at their fall conferences this week!

by Teach2enable

BookScannerBookLevelerApp does a wonderful job of identifying books quickly and efficiently using the ISBN number found on the back of the book. This is a game changer for any teacher who is organizing their library or constantly updating it with new books. Any parents who are trying to find books that are in their child’s reading range, purchase now! Totally worth it!!

I volunteer at my children’s school and read with many different kids on so many different levels. This tool is great to help kids get a quick idea of reading level, if it is an AR book and point value for an AR quiz fast!!! Love it.
