This app works fine, but it flashed an advertisement for another app. I understand that free apps have advertisements, but this app advertisement was entirely inappropriate for children. I am glad neither of my young kids were viewing this points scan app when the ad flashed up. The maker of Points Scan should more carefully vet their advertisers. I will be deleting this app in lieu of one that my children can always view.

When I am using the app, i click on the barcode sign and scan my book. Then when i go back, and scan another book, it gets all glitchy and just stops. But, easy solution, just click on the barcode button on the bottom. Now i went to search up a book on this app (i was online shopping for books) and i go search up the authors last name: Reid. The author is Taylor Jenkins Reid, and I scroll down all the way to the bottom, and her name is there! I click on it, nothing happens. I click on it again. And the app just closes. I tried clicking on the authors before and after her name, and they worked perfectly fine.

I like the idea of the app and it generally works. However, barcode scan feature would be great if it worked all the time. Searching for a book seems to work best by typing in last name only of author then looking to see what books that person has written. If you are lucky enough to find your book on the list, hooray! This makes being in a bookstore and searching to see if the book you selected is the appropriate level tedious, but it gets the job done!

I am impressed it works so easily to just scan the books ISBN barcode and it pops the info! I used to use the AR app, and it quit working after the last update. But, even if it was still working, I would want this for the scanning! I loved that app because it told me my kids’ scores and where they were vs. where they needed to be, but I’m loving this scanner!!
