Ratings and reviews

I love this app for tracking our reading. We use it for our summer reading program. They updated a while ago where you can log multiple readers at once. I wish they would do that to join reading challenges as well. The only think I don't like is when I try to scan a title. I usually still end up counting the pages, and it doesn't always log the book.

It used to keep my reading time running even when I closed the app, but for the past few days I have to log my minutes manually when I finish reading because the app isn't keeping the clock going. That's mostly what I use the app for, so I hope this gets fixed soon. Update: The timer issue was finally fixed with the latest update. Thank you!

So far the app is good and we love the program it goes with. There are a couple things I would love to see to make the app a little nicer/user friendly. Right now I have to type in the title of the book, author, or the ISBN number. A scanner would be great as some of these are a but long that would make it much easier. The ability to mark a book as love/like would be nice so that parents can see what there kids are enjoying to help them find more they will enjoy. Over all a good app tho.
