Literacy Leveler for Android
I had much better luck searching by title. Thank goodness for talk to text or searching would've taken forever. This app provides a service that I need, so I can deal with it. However, they need to fix the issue.
This app never really worked for me. It wont scan books and if it does no information can be found. Completely a waste of my money!
It would be helpful if you could search/sort within "my library" - I'd like to be able to pull up all my books that are a level a or books by a particular author. As a teacher, I would love to see these added.
In the period of an entire afrernoon, trying to level my classroom books. It scanned two books. Totally disappoining.
I bought this app on a recommendation from a friend. It's GREAT, when it actually works. It won't scan certain barcodes. Sometimes it won't scan at all. If the bugs are fixed, I would absolutely love it.
Scanner never works
Over half of the books I scanned had no level or data entered. I am sorry, but it is just not worth the price.
I bought this to use in my classroom. It wouldn't scan 90% of my books. Of the few it did, less than half of those had information. In contrast, the Scholastic website had all but a handfull of them. And it was free.
This is the best app that I have found to use to quickly level my books! I have tried all of them and even waisted money on some! Most of the books are in the database and usually have all 3 levels. If it doesn't have all 3 I can use what information it has to give the book a GR level. I would give it 5 stars but the scanner doesn't work that great, could be my phone. However, it's just as easy to type it in and search. I also love you can add it to your book list.
Don't bother ..... I want my $ back
Didn't scan most of the books. The free app for this is better. don't buy this
Works well, scanning works really well on my iPad not so well on my phone. Searching by author or title is very nice.
We recently changed our leveling system at my school and this app has been the best we've found at finding more books. It's my go to app.
Wish It had Spanish book levels too
Keeps focusing and refocusing. Takes forever to get a hit. Might as well type the books into my computer, which was what I bought this app to avoid having to do. Really disappointed I want my money back.
Does not scan
Would not scan for me. Scholastic's Book Leveler app worked for me.
Wouldn't scan a single bar code out of a stack of 23 books.
Loved it
The scanner worked once out of 112 books. Some books could not be found even though they appeared on the scholastic website. Extremely disappointed.
Does not scan well.
I bought this app in hopes that it would help me level my classroom library a lot faster. Unfortunately this was not the case. I scanned about 100 books. Most of them were found in the app, but did not have any type of book level. I would say that less than 10 books had a level. I ended up searching for most of the titles on the internet, or worse, guessing.
Read the previous review. It does not scan any barcode I tried about 5 different books. Very sad and disappointed. After another attempt the scanner did work but no levels or DRA data were displayed for any of the books I scanned: The Chronicles of Narnia, The Children of Noisy Village or Cross Roads.
Was so excited when a friend of mine told me about this app. It's perfect for setting up a classroom library. However, I found that even when the barcode was pristine on the book that the app wouldn't scan. I shouldn't have to type the name of every other book just to get a response. Looking forward to the update that improves this functionality.

I love what this app does and that makes it handy but compared to apple's version it is not good. It won't scan to save it's life but since you can search for your book it's not the end of the world. However, the biggest drawback is that you can't sort your library . Now, I am usually not the biggest fan of apple but the apple version let's you sort by reading level, author,etc....That said for finding the level of your books it does ok but it needs A LOT of improving to be worth paying $3 for.
