Literacy Leveler App Reviews

Fewer than ten percent of the books I have scanned have a reading level. Your database must be significantly enhanced.

This is my third app like this today! This one seems to be the best. Book Wizard took forever to scan and this one is super quick! Also, I am sampling a random 25 books and this app had a match for 22 of the 25 books. The Book Wizard had 11 of my books. I love the feature where you can list the level if they dont have it leveled. The other app I bought was Book Scanner and it was so bad I deleted it after a few tries! I need quick, user friendly and for it to work because this will be an investment of days and possibly weeks of my time to input my classroom library. This costs more but its worth it because it seems to REALLY work! Also, I look forward to using the sister app to check books out when school starts again! :) (Who says teachers have the summer "off"?!?! LOL)

This app is a gem in my opinion because once you have entered your books, you can sort them by DRA level, GRL level, Lexile level, title, author, etc. This is a super-useful feature for teachers!!!! I highly recommend this app!

About 3/4 of my books are not in the system and searching for them isnt useful either. Very disappointed with this app.

I like the ease of use and the ability to search books by title if they are unable to be scanned due to lack of ISBN barcode. Also great that the list exports into Classroom Checkout. Please add Accelerated Reader Level too though!!

So disappointed... out of 24 books I tried to level, this app had one. ONE.

Great app for my classroom!

This app has the foundations to be something great with a few upgrades- 1) ability to share across devices - I added my books on my phone, but my students wont be using my phone so we cant use the checkout.

This app has helped me complete the heavy task of leveling my classroom library Ive been delaying for a few years now. So glad I came across it.

Does not find ANY!!!! Books. Scholastic has one that is free!

Minus a few books my library was done in 1 1/2 hours. Love this app!

This app is GREAT. I leveled my whole classroom library, which has about 800 books, in an afternoon. It is easy to use and efficient. At first the scanner seemed to get confused between the isbn barcode and the upc barcode (the smaller barcode next to the isbn barcode), but I found that if I put my thumb over the upc barcode, this eliminated the problem and the books scanned easily. I was able to find reading levels on most of the books. For books that didnt have a guided reading level, I was often able to at least get the Lexile reading level.

Great asset to a Common Core classroom. I had all my books (over 2,500) catalogued on my computer and the developer was able to transfer them into LL for me. The ability to group by reading levels was a dream come true!! Thanks!

Dont waste your money on this app. The scanner is crap and doesnt work. When you enter the number to look for a book it doesnt have any information besides the cover of the book. Seriously dont even think of buying this app.

Dont waste your money. Books rarely scan and rarely list the dra. Rip off!

Functionally the app works well. It is simple and effective. But 1) it needs more data. Some Geronimo Stilton books are listed; some arent. Some Goosebumps are listed; done arent. It is too hit or miss. 2) it needs to indicate whether there is a LitPro quiz (and AR quiz data would be nice too). The kids using Lexiles are probably in quiz schools and that info is invaluable.

This app has been a great help in setting the GRL levels for books in our elementary school; scanning goes much faster than our older look-up approach. The database could be larger, though I assume it is still expanding; we do get a fair number of "not found" results, but its the ones we do find are done quickly, so its worthwhile just for that.

This app uses another app to scan the barcode. It never returns to this app so the information never gets back to it. Half the time the scanner app doesnt recognize the barcode or reads it wrong and finds a different book. This app does not allow you to enter the barcode manually to get around the lousy scanner app. So overall, this app is very useless. I am contacting Apple to refund my money and get this removed from the store so others arent cheated.

Fellow teachers, this app is WAY better than Book Fairs (Scholastic) and Level It. Its faster than either of them and got lexiles for almost every book I tried. The only downfall might be that a lot of titles I looked up didnt have GR or dra levels. It was worth the $4.99.

Downloaded both scanners apps and neither works. Scam?
