BOOK IT! for Android
At the end of each session, an updated report will be sent to the teacher, allowing him or her to keep track of goals and provide encouragement in the classroom.
So grab a book, launch the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! app and start reading!
- Easy for kids to use
- Encourages more reading
- Gamifies the reading experience
- Helps kids achieve their BOOK IT! reading goals
- Automatically records reading progress
- Sends teacher updates
Please note: You’ll need a special code from your participating teacher to download the app. This app works in conjunction with the web-based Teacher Dashboard where the teacher sets goals (by the minute or book), monitors reading progress, sends parent notifications, and celebrates success!

It's really just a timer. Sure, my kid loves to buy stuff with the coins she earned and dress up the dragon or whatever, but she can't read an ebook nor can I use my tablet while she's reading nor can we manually enter time when she was reading and I was at work. I find it's easier to just write down her time daily, add it up, and report it at the end.
There are too many glitches with the timer.
Not able to download
No it's not the worst because if you go to a school you get a paper that has a code I got one and I use book it alot you dummy
Because I didn't have a code I couldn't do it
My children really enjoy using this app but there needs to be a way to switch to another student without logging out & reentering the reg code!
I have this on 2 Samsung Galaxy Tab 4's. For my daughter it works great. For my son it says he hasn't read for 10 days, but he's actually read all 10 of those days. UPDATED 11/19/15: Apparently there was an update. So, it still works just fine for my daughter. However, it still says my son hasn't done any reading for this month. And every day he goes to read it has taken away some of his coins resulting in a meltdown.
It's a great app to show my daughter her progress but I have issues with the timer not continuing if I need to use my phone also not being able to change the password to something I'd actually remember is nerve racking if i log out I can't get back in.
A great concept but has issues opening.

It asks for a registration code. I don't have one. :-( how do I get that, so I can help my son with his reading ?
I love it sooooooooooo much
Please let the timer run in the background so I may be on my phone while my son reads. I think it's a great app (I've got just one child) and a fantastic idea, but I use his reading time to make phone calls and whatnot. Right now, to write this review, his timer has stopped even though he's reading. Fix this irk and it's a 5 star app.
I open the app and get half a smushed picture with music on a loop. Not working at all. No links or buttons or anything else.
It won't load of my phone anymore... I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and all I get is a black screen and I checked all the other apps I have on my phone and it's not my phone it is this app.. Please fix
It doesn't recognize my name and I can't use it for school
Hated this app the second I opened it. Music blasting during log-in screen and no way to turn it off.
The app crashes. The timer stops if you switch to another app, it stops if you put the phone to sleep. I do not want my 7 year old using my expensive cell phone for homework. I find this completely irrational! Worst idea for an app and worst idea for schools to require use for a reading program. Uninstalled and refuse to use this junk app. Kids need LESS technology forced on them!
What a joke!! Have to Register name & code each time and cannot have more than one child on at a time. Nice idea - but complete app is lame! Do some major upgrading and we'll reinstall & give better rating!
...but I have three kids. And can only register one. I'll keep using Good Reads to help me track their reading. At least there the kids have their own bookshelf.
Continues to crash. Uninstalled, reinstalled....did it like 30x. Huge inconvenience if you ask me. Used the link in the email to try and track her points, unknown address. Really? Come on!
From web application to phone apps. Pointless!
I love it

I KNOW
My son's teacher sent out a news letter about this application. Love it
Each time I go in it won,t let me in so I have to uninstall it sorry BOOK IT:-(
I hated it is not fun at all u half to enter a code so u can't do it at home
Its ok I like it
Doesn't recognize my kids name or the registration code that is on the form the school sent home. Maybe if it ever registers I'll change my rating. Not impressed so far.
If you don't own an Apple product or have an Android device you can't access it. Unfortunately in my house the only way my daughter can access this is through my cell phone. Really need consider making this Windows OS compatible. Such as an app for Google Chrome.
Only one child cab be logged in at a time, and the assigned password can't be changed or easily remembered. Also, the timer won't run in the background, so no one gets to use the phone while the kids are reading.
This app will subtract minutes from my child after he has read more than his goal was. Don't quite understand what is going on with it but very frustrating to feel like he is being punished for doing more. Please address this issue!! Hopefully the way the teacher is seeing the minutes is coming across accurately. Very disappointed!
I can't download on my android phone so I put it on my tablet but the code from school and name are not recognized. If I can get it fixed I will change the rating
If I have less than one star I sure will assign it. It does not recognize the first or last name.
The makers of this app need to take in consideration that most families have more than one child. If you log out, which you have to do in order for another child to log in as only one can be logged in at a time, they have to register all over again! So yeah... if you want to use this app keep those codes handy as you will need them... oh and then pick your dragon out again... IF and when this issue is fixed I will reconsider this review and rating....
I preferred the minute tracker. Many of my students don't have phones and/or tablets to track and record their reading. They bring me their logs and I find myself having to set aside time to do this on a regular basis. It was easier for to use the minute tracker last year. Not only were the able to enter their own grades, they were able to encourage each other to meet goals.
Does not work on Droid Razr Maxx. Not readable and screen images are scrambled.
I love this app to keep track of my sons reading
