1000 Books Before Kindergarten

This is definitely easier than writing all the books down, however it need to be upgraded. It is very slow to the point of not working on occasion. There was a span of about 3-4 days where I could not add any books to our list because it kept crashing. I agree with another comment below that it would be much easier if I could search for any word in the title and not just the first word. I have loaded books onto the library more than once because i can't find the book. It would be nice to edit the book information after it's been saved. I didn't know I could load a picture of the book onto the library until after I had done several books. I am glad to be participating in the program and will easily reach 1000 books before my kids reach kindergarten, however I will not keep doing this after they reach 1000 books unless an update comes. It just takes too long.

Overall I like the app enough to use it. However, i get frustrated every time I open the app bc every single step/click is so Painfully slow. I thought it might speed up the loading time if I deleted books from the library that I wasn’t going to read (pre loaded books) but I couldn’t find a way to delete them. I would like to edit the library and add photos also as the other review mentioned. Also it would be nice if I could select “today” and just check all the 5 books we read, select both children, and it increased their book count. Instead I have to go through this painfully slow process 10 times just to add 5 books we read together for 2 kids. I usually have to wait till they’re asleep to update their reading list Bc they’re not patient enough to wait for me to scan a book, add it, then add it to both their reading lists.

We are to 600 books and have been using this app for about 8 months now. It's the best book tracking app I've used, but I wish it did the following things: Allowed you edit info for a book in your library after you initially add it (such as add an image, author, page numbers, etc.) Allowed you to differentiate from read books and unread books in your library. I'd like to be able to add books I'd like to read to our library list prior to reading them, and then have the ability to sort or view unread books when we go to the library or bookstore. Ability to search for a single word in the title of a book in your library instead of just the first word. This would be especially useful in finding/organizing Disney books. It's hard to remember if the Bambi book in our library is called Disney's Bambi, just Bambi, or Little Golden Books Disney Bambi, etc., and if it was possible to just type Bambi and have it show up regardless of the first word that would be great (I've noticed the search function is the "Add a Book" does search entire titles, which is great) Other than those few things I like it quite a lot. Would recommend it and am happy our library is participating in the 1000 books program.

This is unfortunate to leave a one star review because the program and the idea behind the app is absolutely wonderful. The app itself is horrible and agonizing to use. It’s a shame that no-one running this program is interested in fixing this app. There has to be technologically savvy people out there that would be willing to volunteer their time to make this a smoother running program and to fix the issues yet no one is acknowledging the issues. The reviews are reporting issues with this app for more than a year now. The books take longer to upload and complete than it takes to read them because of glitches and the app just shutting down. Often the books scan in as unknown and you have to close the app and reopen it and hope it will work again. Most of the time the app won’t load the list of books and just * thinks and thinks* as if it’s trying to work.

A basic app to record the books we’ve read for the OTBBK program. I agree with previous reviews that this app could greatly benefit from some simple updates such as: 1)the ability to edit a manually added book (instead of fixing a typo in the title, I have to add the book again), 2)being able to sort the library by the most recent book READ, not just added (the books we read over and over just sink to the bottom of the list and are a pain to find) 3)being able to search in the library by any key word in the title (instead of being stuck with 20 “the...” titled books) and 4)being able to add one book to multiple readers at once (and not having to find and add the book 3x when read to all three of my kids).
