Notes:
The ISBN scanner feature requires a device with an auto-focus camera (e.g. iPhone 3GS or newer, iPad 3 or newer) for native camera support. If you have a fixed-focus device (e.g. iPad 2) we use a companion app for scanning that will be seamless to you. We will walk you through it when you launch the scanner.
This app also requires internet connectivity (e.g. WiFi, 3G, 4G, LTE) to communicate with our back end service to bring you the great features of this app.
I just PURCHASED this app to help find DRA levels quickly and easily, boy was that a mistake. I scanned 20 of my most popular books (Magic tree house, flat Stanley ext.) and there were only DRA levels for 2 of the books I scanned , it actually allows me to submit the DRA level myself which makes me not trust the ones that did pop up at all, it’s clear there’s no research put into this app, it just expects the teachers who PAY for the app to do the research and put in the information. This is NOT an efficient way to see the levels of books and a WASTE of money… the app is also extremely dated and has the format of an early 2000’s iPhone keyboard. I just threw away money buying this, don’t do the same.
Could be do much more....

It's not that bad, but there are many flaws that makes the app kind of pointless. I have a personal collection of 500 books with cds, most from Scholastic. I completed entering the data. Mist of the time, I had to manually search either by title or author, because it would not find the ISBN by scanning it. Most of the books do only have the Lexile levels. Most of the time, there were no pictures either from scanning or manually searching for a book. Many of my ISBN were not in the system, so I had to choose the same title but with a different ISBN. This will cause a problem when kids will checkout a book with ISBN that is not in the system. So, I think it's great to easily find my books in my library, but that ends there. More than half of my books didn't have their ISBN in the system, but were under different ISBN.
Great but missing features

I got this app to catalog books for a teacher. It was a bit of work but I was able to catalog about 300 books in a couple of days. Unfortunately there is no export function so I had to use OCR to retrieve the titles and retype isbns to make a spreadsheet (an export function would go a long way) and look all over the Internet for GR levels. The app has GR levels but sometimes the book is leveled under one isbn but not leveled under another isbn. In the end I used my spreadsheet to print barcode/level stickers for the books so now it is easy to check books in and out. The problem is, there is no history of check-outs, so the teacher can control currently checked books but not who read what - a big flaw.
Well...

There's good and bad to this app. The great thing is they have a classroom library and it gives a check in and check out system which can be very helpful to teachers. On the other end, I've looked up GR levels that are missing and submit them and it gives me a message that they are reviewing it. When does that process happen? It seems like the creators of this app are a little out of the loop with the reviewers. People are asking for better quality and paying for this app makes it even more frustrating when something doesn't work how it's advertised. Also, it's exhausting to spend forever leveling books by typing all the titles in because it's more likely they will come up then if you scan it. This app has great potential. Please update it.
