Scholastic Book Wizard Mobile for Android
This works good as long as the book has a barcode. Many of my older books do not. The only thing I wish that Scholastic would add is the point value of each book. I am a teacher and my parents frequently want to know how many points a book is worth because they are trying to get to a certain level by a specific time.
Samsung Galaxy Note4 Android 5.1.1 Was able to create multiple lists, scan books, add scanned books to already generated lists (by taping list name), edit lists, delete books, delete lists. Wish it had check out functionality so I could indicate a book is checked out to a specific person. Wish I could indicate quantity of titles owned. I have multiples of several books. Wish I could sort my library list by dra/level/lexile.
I was SO excited to find this app, but half the books I scanned can't be found and when I add them to MY LIST and then try to view the books I've added to MY LIST it tells me I don't have any LISTS....ARGH, talk about frustrating. So disappointed.
Crashes everytime I try to start make a list. One star for being able to look up the books and see summary with reading labels. No more stars since there are a number of websites that can easily give me the same information.
Samsung Galaxy 5. All this did was crash everytime I tried to create a list. I really really wanted this app to work, especially since it has the name,scholastic, it is associated with quality. Unfortunately it does not allow you to create any list and it is far from the quality that I know Scholastic provides to the public. Please fix this app and I would be willing to use this for my classroom.
It looks up books great, but as soon as I try to make a list, it closes. I really was looking forward to using this to organize my kids' books..... please fix this!! (I have Uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it's still doing it)
Everytime I try to create a list the app crashes and closes the app. I hope they fix the problem so that I can change my rating of the app. I think once I can make lists it will be amazing!! Okay, I found a solution to the problem of not being able to make a list. I used my iPod to make a list and now I can use my phone to add to the list.
Lots of reviews with the same problem over the past few months and nothing has been done. Looks up books great. Closes every time I try to create a classroom library. I expected more from Scholastic! So disappointed.
I like that this app shows reading levels, but it crashes EVERY time I try to add a book to my list. I will have to find a different app to keep track of my classroom library.
Like everyone has said, every time I name my list and try to create it, the app crashes. It's nice that it gives you so much information about the book, but not being able to make the classroom book list isn't very helpful!
Please, fix the crash issue. Love the concept, but I can't use it if I can not create a class/list to add my books to. Will change rating once it stops crashing when trying to create a class/list.
I really wanted this to work, but every time I try to create a book list it crashes. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, but i don't think it will since it seems to be a common problem among everyone. Until then I will have to figure something else out.
Wonderful information, but hate that the app freezes and shuts down EVERY single time I try to create a list. That is the point of having the app, so without this ability this app is getting deleted.
It is a Scholastic app and when I scan a barcode of a Scholastic book I expected to know what that book is and what reading level it is. Half of the time it says, sorry the book is not in our database but it's a Scholastic book. This app sucks.
Like other reviewers the app continued to crash everytime I tried to save a list. To resolve this, I went to my online web account, logged in, and added a list. I stayed logged in online. Then I went to the app restarted it and scanned a book. The list I previously made online now appeared in my app. Through the app, I was now able to add a book. That's what worked for me after hours of trying different things.
As a teacher, I was super excited to be able to keep track of what books I currently have in my library. Sadly, everytime I try to add a book to a list, the app crashes. Please fix this so I can use it this Fall.
I was excited to have this app, however everything I go to make a list the app crashes. I can't look any books up because yet again it crashes. I would love to be able to use this app. Unfortunately how the app is at the moment, it is pretty useless. Please fix this so I am able to use the app how it's ment to be used.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and won't recognize my login. I have been using a different app to level my books until this is corrected.
The app crashes every time I create a book list. I really liked the idea behind the app to create classroom lists. Disappointed.
Like common core, useless. Doesn't support ordering, only making lists, and know each of the the devices (3) I tried it on it always locked up when trying to do even that.... I'm sure someone who didn't deserve it got paid for this garbage.
Like the concept of the app but a lot of the books I scan are not in the database. It would be nice to find non-scholastic books too! Also the app crashes when I try to add a list.
Can Scholastic please fix this app? It looks up book information, but that's it. Every time I try to create a list it crashes. Clearly this is a problem a lot of people are having based on the reviews.
I just downloaded this app. Every time I try to great a book list, the app crashes. I tried restarting my phone and it didn't fix the problem. I can't add books without a book list
Droid Turbo XT 1254. Ap crashes, consistently, when trying to build a library. Will scan books, but can not save them. Re-installing ap did not change outcome, nor did updating or restarting phone.
I scanned 30 books, all purchased from Scholastic. Not a single one was.found via scan. So then I hand entered title, found the book. Attempted to add to lists, and the app crashed. This application is unreliable and not helpful at all.
I love the simplicity of being able to scan the Barcode and getting the DRA and Guided Reading Level, but when I go to create a list it crashes each and every time.
I enter the correct email and password, but the app will not log me in! Frustrating! I think it could be a great app, if I could use it.
The scanner is great and I like how you get reading levels and a description, but the app crashes every time I try to make a list. 5 stars if that problem is fixed!
This app worked fine on my iPhone but it crashes when I try to make a book list on my S7 Edge.
I'm sure I'd LOVE this app if given the chance to use it. It continues to crash when I try to create a list.
So excited to use this app and every time I go to create a book list after scanning it crashes. Seriously?? Please fix this!
Cannot save books in book list. Everytime I hit save, app shuts down.
Great description of books but when I go to add it to a list it crashes. Really wished this worked!
I can level my books but when I try to add it to my classroom library and/or create a book list it crashes!
Great app until you try to create a class list and it crashes. Please fix the problem!
My school uses SRC, it'd be great if this app would connect with that and tell how many points a book is worth and if it is a quiz.
Takes so long to load, and just plain sucks.
Scanned the books we have and created a list for this school year. Now the list will not open. Very frustrating!
The first book I scanned was a scholastic book and it was not in the database.

I think the interface of this app is easy enough to use. I am not excited to have to go to the website to sign up an account. I'm also not a fan of the inability to find similar books, or to find similar books at an adjusted reading level. I tried to find many books that were available online, but they're not available within the app. This seems curious. I think this app has great potential, and I do like that you can create lists. Yet there are not enough useful features imo to keep it installed.
