1000 Books Before Kindergarten Hack 3.2.0 + Redeem Codes

I’ve been using the app for a while. It’s pretty easy to scan a barcode to add a book and that works for 90% of the books we’ve read. The latest version also allows you to mark it as read as part of the scanning/adding to library process so the workflow is simpler/faster. You can manually add books when the system cannot scan or find the ISBN. They add to the library just find. My issue is that for some reason if I have to manually add a book to the library it will not add to my readers list. So about 10% of what we’re reading is not getting logged.

I downloaded this app to help keep track of how many books I’ve read to my child after losing the chart that the library gave me. I’m surprised that nearly half of the books that I try to add are either unlisted (even when I look them up by isbn) or missing information such as a cover image. I think some kind of system for adding these books should be put into place.
I’m also a little surprised at how slow the app is. It took a while to add my son as a reader because when I clicked the “yes” button it would just go back to the previous screen. After the third time of this I waited a minute and suddenly he loaded as an added reader. The same occasionally happens when I try to add a book. It sometimes takes restarting the app for his read book count to go up.
I do like that you can scan the barcode to add some books. This is really convenient and definitely a time saver. I also like that it makes it easy to keep track of what books he has read and that you can share the list. I have been keeping a log of the books he’s read (but again I misplaced it T.T)

The app is a good idea but the task of adding books manually as well as adding books from the library to the reading list doesn’t work well. Many times after clicking “read,” the book doesn’t make it to the reading list, therefore not counting the book and not keeping record of which books we’ve read. I’ve also had the app just close on me while it was in use.
Additionally, when you manually add a book, you can’t go back to make edits if you want to add a photo or misspell something, for example. They also don’t have an option to write the ISBN number manually.
Overall, the app needs to fix these issues to make it worth keeping. Too time consuming for such a simple task.

I was happy to find an app that would track my grandkids reading. I had really hoped to get my 5 and 3 year olds successfully on the right track to loving books and learning. We had started a paper trail previously but a move and eventual pandemic lockdown curtailed that method. While we have been reading a lot, the app doesn’t reflect this for the following reason:
What I would like to see is an easier way to upload books. Many we finished either didn’t have a recognizable ISBN to scan or had inadequate author/publisher info that the app would accept.
Once a book would be added, it would be helpful to allow favorites that get read multiple times to be tallied.
If the app has the capability to do these suggestions already, please show me how it does. Thank you

I have used the app to track books for my twin granddaughters since they were several months old - and now they are almost 5 years old. It is a convenient way to track books, when they were read, etc. very easy to use - the girls love to help me scan and enter them

I think the concept behind this app is great; however, it needs some major work. I don’t mind adding books here and there, but I would say 90% of the books we have read aren’t uploaded into the system. I like the idea behind the app of not having to use a sheet of paper that I got from the library. With that being said, If we read several books and night it takes time uploading them into the system. It’s a great idea and with some work this app will be great.

I find that going to Goodreads to get the isbn and copying and pasting works pretty well- I first add it to the main library using the plus sign at the bottom and then going back to the library to add it to my granddaughter’s list. However, it often takes a long time to populate to her list which has been frustrating- I’m thinking of just keeping the list on goodreads, because Goodreads also allows me to say how many times we have read a certain book- such as the 5 times a day my husband reads But Not the Hippopotamus to her!

Writing my books saves about 10x the amount of time. This app concept is great however there are only about 30 books in the bank. I have to manually add each book which honestly isn’t too terrible if the isbn is present. The big issue is that half the books I add don’t load under my child. I do the same steps each time and after every entry I check and some do not appear. They are in the database because I added them and can see them but they do not show under my child’s profile no matter how many times I add them to his name.

I love the idea behind this! I read to my kids every day and we’re making great progress but I get so frustrated adding books. It always glitches out and will force close the app, not add to their list or even add to the library in general after I’ve done all the work of entering in all the info. I think this app is great, but there’s some bugs that need to be fixed for sure. Keep it up! What you’re doing is great!

This app always has been slow and clunky, but the updated version is driving me bonkers. No option to start typing in a book into the search field anymore - you have to scroll through. No more option to order books by most recently added - it’s now alphabetical. And why - oh why - do I now have to type in my email address and password every time I open the app now??? It takes so long now to log books that I’ve found that I’ve stopped logging books - I literally no longer have time to.
