Scholastic Book Fairs App Reviews

I scanned the book 15 times and it didnt work

After reading the reviews I tried this app myself. Seems that many are having trouble scanning covers but I used it to scan the bar codes on the back of my daughters books and it immediately gave me the proper results. Now we can see the AR points associated with her choices. Works very well. Great tool to help parents keep track of reading requirements.

Would not scan barcode on book fair flyer. Only one book title would scan. I searched for a title in the flyer, and the app said, "not found". Terrible app.

I felt compelled to write a review about this APP after reading the poor ones. My son told me about this app, because he like it so much! In addition, I am a librarian and had a book fair right after my son had one at his school, so I thought I’d give it a try. I have no idea what happened with the others, but it downloaded quickly and worked great. Did everything it promoted. Just wish it had a list view choice. My list wasn’t very long, but took 10 pages! Really efficient and worked quickly.

If you are a teacher like I am, you have likely been using Book Wizard to level your library. I thought this would be about the same, but its not. Highly recommend you go check out lit leveler instead. Its not free, but so easy and WAY more hits- especially for someone looking for lexile scores.

I am a third grade teacher. Just used this to scan over 20 Scholastic books and not a single one was found.

It does not work. After 3 failed attempts, at various stages of the checkout process, I cant do it again. Im way too frustrated.

Couldnt scan barcodes but was able to scan the occasional cover successfully. Deleted

This app is crap. You cannot do ONE THING on here without it saying NO BOOO RESULTS. Like how am I supposed to get the info I need but the stupid app never works! Terribly Disappointing!!

Easy to search but it will not allow me to add anything to a cart making it essentially useless.

If I could give it zero stars I would. Just wasted 30 min trying to order 4 books and after all info entered INCLUDING my credit card # it gave me an error code that it just couldnt seem to find a network connection for my device. Im at home on my WiFi and my connection is fine. Ive tried using this app in the past WITHOUT success. It garbage. Dont waste your time.

Worst app ever! Useless to use unless you are physically at the fair! If I could give it less then 1 star - I would!

Not what I was promised on the pamphlet thing Ive got. Even the one feature this thing has stopped working after 2 tries :/

Attempted to label daughters library for AR levels...scanner didnt recognize 1 book...even with the red Scholastic label...gone!!

Does not scan barcodes or covers. Very frustrating.

It keeps telling me that it cant connect to my wireless network. Not helpful for purchasing books at this time. Please fix.

Love the idea. The kids loved scanning the books. I had about 5 out of 21 have some issues scanning, but I think a lot of that was our wireless. We eventually got all to scan either cover or bar code. The app needs some improvements for elementary classroom use. The biggest problem I had with it is that the only way to send to parents is email or print. We dont have wireless printers and and you have to be 13 to email which elementary students are not. If there were other send options like google drive or notability then I, the teacher, could access and send on to parents. What would be really great is if you could load your class and there lists would got to a class roster. The teacher could see the wish lists of everyone in the class and choose to share with parents from there.

Theres no way to see what is available at your childs book fair. Its only for scanning books in front of you at the book fair. Isnt that what the description on the back cover is for?

Wont let me set up account so I can purchase books try to set up put everything in and wont do anything and also tried through Facebook and still wouldnt work my kids a very disappointed cause the books they want are sold out at schools

It doesnt work. I cant find any books.
