Classroom Organizer for Android
The concept is wonderful, but the app does not work on my Samsung Galaxy 5. I try to select a student, and the app freezes and closes. Looking at how far these complaints go back, this should have been fixed by now. What a shame. ETA 7/28/16: Not sure what changed, but this app works much better. Glitches still occur, but for the most part I can use it with little problem. The idea is wonderful, so keep working on the execution of the application!
I have this app on my ipod and it worked pretty good. Downloaded it to my phone and when I hit scan it brings up the scanner for taco johns which doesn't work to scan books. It doesn't ask for camera permissions and I can't figure out how to get it to use my qr code reader instead of taco johns.
This has been a great app for my classroom for years. Suddenly it stopped working towards the end of last school year. I can't even login anymore on my S3 or S6. The Apple version still works, but I won't have access to that device next year. Not looking forward to finding a new system and re-uploading over 1000 books.
Echoing previous reviews. I love the idea, but it crashes every time I select "scan." Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Would love it if it worked.
I like the fact I can catalogue my books; however, it makes the scanner not work properly on my Galaxy S6. It distorts the scanner making it impossible to scan the books in efficiently.
The website is fantastic and easy to use but this app is absolute garbage. I would really like my students to be able to check out and in books through their phones! Not an option right now.
I started using this app at the end of the last school year and it worked. I reinstalled the app and it no longer works on my phone. I uninstalled/reinstalled and it's still not working. Luckily I have a laptop in my classroom that I am able to use. The website is awesome, the app not so much.
When I scan a book in for inventory it says the title is not available so I have to type it in manually anyways. Waste of time.
The UI looks like it's out of the 90s. It's awful.
I love this app. It has worked very well on my Galaxy S4 and the Samsung J3. I have catalogued 600 books with this app.
Every time I try to scan a book, it takes me to the Michael's app. I can't even use this app.
Just like other people explained, the browser log in works, but not the app.
Whenever I try to scan a book with my Galaxy 7 edge, it opens my CVS app...
I just new there was a book source app because it has it on the website.
Love this app! My kids use it daily! Its glitchy, at least every day there is a student that won't work. It would be awesome to return multiple books at a time, or just return the book by scanning it, not looking it up by student.

Unable to select or add students. Appears to only let you return books by student not book. Has potential but does not work on either of my phones.
I was unable to get this app to work. I have an account online but the app does not recognize my log in credentials.
This app crashes every time I try to add a student. I've tried a dozen times over the past month but it always crashes. The idea is great, but it doesn't work with my Samsung galaxy 5.

It works for inventory but it will return to the log in page everytime a student tried to check out or return a book. So useless if you want to use it in class. It was working maybe the end of the year and multiple boom returns make it crash? Needs to be fixed asap please.
I love this idea, being able to easily track what books students in my classroom are reading and where my books are, unfortunately it crashes EVERY TIME I try to add a book to my classroom library. frustrating!
Every time I try to add a student to check out a book the app just shuts down. :(
The app does not work at all. Open it up, click scan book and app shuts down.
I like the app and it works great for a friend who has an iphone, I have the galaxy s5 active and I cannot checkout a book bc it crashes.....please help
Won't let me even log on. Horrible app.
Doesn't work at all after installation. I/O errors abound!
Won't scan any book or accept any ISBN number
I can't even login to the app!
I just new there was a book source app because it has it on the website.
You have to login as administrator on your phone app. It is perfect for entering in new inventory! Love this app!
I can't use the ap because I can't log in. This is completely worthless
Can't use student check out
Works well and is light weight
Couldn't log in!
I wish I could give less than 1 star this app was a waste of time to try and set up my classroom library.
I would love to have students be able to check out books from their phone along with the computer.
Buggy, unclear UI with counter-intuitive account setup, some books don't scan, hard to see how this technology is more efficient than just writing on a sheet of paper.
This app has made my life easier. Thank you!

I just installed this app today. I made my online account and can log in there but the app will not let me log in. I get error message after error message even after uninstalling, reinstalling, shutting down my phone and restarting. I'm giving up and uninstalling for good! Very disappointed because it's such a good idea.
