Beanstack helps schools, libraries, and families bring the fun back to reading with reading challenges, easy tracking, and insightful data.

We invite students, families, and readers of all ages to a world of reading inspiration and motivation. You can create profiles for everyone in your family within a single library or Beanstack Go account, or you can use SSO to sign in to any of your students’ school accounts and swiftly toggle between them. Beanstack helps you grow your reading habits together, while also logging and tracking reading progress individually. We never sell your data or use it to show you ads, so Beanstack is safe for everyone.

Ratings and reviews

Cannot stay logged in to two separate libraries at once. Gives the option to add an account, then logs out previous account. Would also be nice if I could log a book to multiple people at once. (i.e. I read a book to my children, so we all read the book) Summer Reading Programs are starting right now, it would be nice if these features worked properly.

The app is very buggy. When you are entering your time/page and close of your keyboard the "Done" submit button starts glitching and makes it difficult to click. I have entered the same reading log over and over only to look at my log and see it isnt saving. Also saving a log for a previous day (I read at night right before bed) is very hit or miss.. usually doesnt save. Instead you are better off logging it for today *if it will save* then going in and editing the date which is frustrating.

Handy way to track reading with local libraries that are using it for trading challenges and summer reading. However, the app does not keep multiple accounts. I have to keep logging into each library account and trying to log into the second while the first is logged in gets both accounts logged out with "Something went wrong". Rather frustrating to keep fighting.
