Literacy Leveler for Negative User Reviews

✓ Very disappointedI was excited to level my classroom library and only a handful of books showed up on the app. I just wasted so much time!.TeachingfirstgradeVersion: 2.0.1

✓ So many books not in database or …In the database but no level is assigned. Although the app is easy to use with the scan function, the search function leaves a lot to be desired. Sometimes you have to type every word of the title to see it appear (closest matches don’t necessarily come to the top of the search field). Wish there were a more comprehensive leveler database..LittleRedSchoolbusVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Lit leveler pretty goodI was able to get all but a handful of books on the app in about an hour or so! (I had a google doc I had previously used). Here are my suggestions - they might have these abilities but I couldn’t find it. 1. I would love the ability to have multiple book lists. I’d like to keep my guided reading separate from my classroom library separate from my teaching books. 2- It would be so helpful to include the book blurb with the cover to make it easier to find what you are looking for. 3- I would love to have a search function for my notes. Even with those missing I still think it is a good value - and I found it fairly easy to navigate!.ApmejenVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Amazing tool for the books they have in their systemI love this app, I think it is easy to use, and love that you can look at your library in so many different ways! There are a few problems though that I feel could be easily fixed. If the book is not registered, whether by isbn number, title, author, etc. you cannot “add it” to your library. This is frustrating since you don’t want repeats. I’ve reached out several times to them through the contact us in the app, and I have received nothing back. Not even a “received it, we will get back to you”. The other thing is adding pictures. I wish I could take a picture of the cover for the book. Many times there is a cover, but it can be wrong or gray. This would be a nice little easy fix to keep it updated and help with peace of mind when organizing. Overall I love the product, want to keep using it, but I wish I could get these few issues resolved. It would help a teacher out!.NatMacWagVersion: 2.0.1

✓ DisappointedThis app started working great the first few times then stopped scanning. I contacted tech support via email and they gave lots of suggestions for me but they didn’t help. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still could not get the app to work. One thing that does work is typing the numbers in which is a huge PITA. But, using the voice to text mode makes it faster. And then there are some books that are not found in the app which is another disappointment..Laxmann31Version: 2.0.1

✓ Very disappointed!!With virtual learning starting in the fall I wanted an app to help me find grade level text for my children. Out of the 10 books I scanned in like two were listed!!!Very sorry that I wasted six dollars on this app!!There should have been a way to try a few scans before purchasing. What a rip off. I wish I could request a refund!!If you were a mom with typical children’s books and young reader chapter books at home don’t waste your money!!.LolaDeitzVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Great Idea!I was so excited when I scanned my first picture book and all the information was magically entered in my library. Unfortunately, information for many of my paperbacks, purchased from Scholastic, was not available. Also, several books had a title, but no picture for the book cover..78CTVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Expected MoreI got this app yesterday and was really excited for it but was disappointed. It only worked for less than 30% of the books I tried. The other books it did not recognize, it recognized but had no level for or it recognized as the wrong book. Books NEED to be added. It would also be nice to be able to add images and books to your own personal library that the app does not recognize. Hope that it is updated to add missing books..WLTSHVersion: 2.0.1

✓ I love it BUTI love this app! I've scanned my hundreds and hundreds of books from my classroom library and the hoard or children's books that belong to my children. I just wish I could export the list so I can label my books as such so my kids can get books out that are right at there level! Please add this update!!! I'll pay to have that functionality!.MwbchristyVersion: 2.0.1

✓ OkayThis app is okay. About 50 percent of my books were on here but I still have a couple hundred that still aren’t leveled. The book is in the app for a lot of them without a level which is very very frustrating. Over I would not recommend this and would use the scholastic free version because it has the same books but is FREE!.Kmc011Version: 2.0.1

✓ Lots of books missingI bought this app as a parent trying to make it easier to select level appropriate books at the public library. More than half of the books I have scanned are not in this database. It is a great app when the book is included..JunebugTX78Version: 2.0.1

✓ Wouldn’t recommendWaste of money. Purchased this app to level hundreds of books for a classroom library. Over half of them didn’t even come up or it came up with the book but no level assigned. Download a different free book leveler and it found and had levels for at least three quarters of the books not found in this app..Amy71 PQVersion: 2.0.1

✓ DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!I bought this app thinking it would help me on library trips with my 1st grader. I figured I could use this to make sure she was choosing books appropriate for her reading level. Unfortunately, there a many, many books that are not in their registry and most books that they have in their registry do not have the Reading levels available. Now, I am still in the same situation I was in before, not knowing if the books we choose are best for her reading level and I am out the money I paid for the app. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU PURCHASE THIS APP IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!.SuReynaVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Disappointing Purchase!I bought this app specifically for the scanner feature to easily identify reading levels of texts in my classroom. The scanner won’t work on a single book. I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max and can see the camera is clearly picking up the standard barcodes (with EAN and ISBNs beginning with 978) but NO INFO POPS UP! Disappointing. If I wanted to type in ISBNs or titles all day, I could have just used Google..T_swiftyVersion: 2.0.1

✓ DisappointedI was certain that this app would help me verify the levels of guided reading books I planned to use for my groups. The scanner did not scan, and I had to manually enter ISBNs. This wastes time. Then, no leveling Information was given for several books I looked up; only the title and author. I can get that information from the book. I would never have paid $6 for an app to tell me the title and author of a book. I really wish I could get a REFUND!!!.NettaTXVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Don’t waste your moneyI’m very disappointed in this app. Only a small handful of books that I have scanned have a level. Some books populate with the cover when scanned but don’t have any level. I do not recommend purchasing this app..Tjones12345678Version: 2.0.1

✓ Missing genreI want so much to love this app! Entering the books in was easy and I LOVE that you can merge with the checkout app. About 90% of my library was able to be uploaded. I wish I could add a cover of a book to the ones that don’t have one like you can do in the checkout app. My -2 on the Star rating comes because there is no genre attached to the books. A big problem I have is trying to figure out what book belongs to which genre when helping my class pick books out. Adding this to the app would make this app unstoppable! A 5+ rating!.Socmom72Version: 2.0.1

✓ Books not in app!I bought the bundle and I am trying to build a check out system. I wished I could manually put in books while you updated your library. It isn't helpful when someone wants to check it a book that isn’t on the list..GreenPeaTinaVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Potential not reachedFor the price you pay for this app you expect to get a lot more out of it. You can't sync your account from iPhone to tablet for one You can't manually add in books. To edit books you must use Classroom Checkout. For student passcodes, letters are not allowed. Can't sort by category in your library. Can't view checkout status online or through another device. This app has the potential to be THE BEST classroom library manager I have seen yet but there are still too many features not available to give it that title. Disappointed. If only the developer would fix the issues above... then it would be worth the money and the 5 stars! Now I have to rescan my ENTIRE classroom library on my tablet because it doesn't transfer over.....BeccahjoyfVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Can be better!!I really like the ease of use, but PLEASE PLEASE put a feature for teachers to be able to sort by custom themes and categories as well. Then your app will be the #1 classroom library and leveling app on the market, and everyone will want one. It's not enough to know what level my classroom books are. I can be a much more effective teacher if I can search my library for books that fit a particular theme or topic. This feature will help myself and others be much more effective in our lesson planning. Thank you..Saltwater TaffieVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Just okI recently purchased 20 chapters books and found only 6 were able to be levelled using this app. I hope you update your database of books frequently as I disappointed so few were able to be levelled..Kittym87Version: 2.0.1

✓ DisappointingI was really excited and bought both the leveler and classroom check out app. It was disappointing because I have about over 1,000 books and a third of them cannot be scanned even though it has the ISBN or if it scanned it says it's not in the leveler. A lot of the newer books are not in the system. Also, sometimes the books scan up as a different name when I’m using the check out system. Hopefully they can update their books..JaedeeVersion: 2.0.1

✓ Can't find half the books I'm looking forThis app would be perfect for my 3rd grade classroom if it could give me levels on at least half the books I've scanned over the past several months. I use both Scholastic and this one, and between the two of them, I still can't get all my books leveled. It's easy to use, and I love the library feature, but the data base of books leaves much to be desired..3teacher925Version: 2.0.1

✓ Wish there was more...Wish there was an option to add photos of book covers not in the database. Also wish you could manually add a book in when the information is not found in the database. Genre information in the database would be a bonus if added in the future. Good app, but only if you are adding and leveling *new* books in your library..Kjrod22Version: 2.0.1
