Awful

Look here, when I type my email address and type 60795 or 21567, it shows me a white box with the title: Alert along with the text: Invalid parent login code with a button that says: OK. Why is this? What is the login code? Send me a message if anyone knows.
It depresses me that I have to use this app. Using tech is supposed to make life easier, but I find that I have to go through more steps vs writing it down. When the app doesn't recognise the book it is painful to have to manually enter the details as predictive text has an issue with the name of most authors.
Need to use it for school. The app is a mess though. If the book title is more than 20 characters long you can’t read it anymore, which is useless when you are reading a series. You can’t edit the title either. I ended up just using the web version, which has its own design issues but at least I can see what I’m doing.
06/03/24 Edited and 2 stars given back. The app developers listened and brought back the completed book function. Good listening. Still not brilliant but it’s getting there. Not a great interface. Not intuitive. They have removed the “completed book feature” on reading log.
Took away the ability to mark book as pages 1 to end, now you have to count all the pages of every book manually, as some books don’t have page numbers
Why take away the tick box for when you read a whole book in one go? Pretty much all the books my son has don’t have page numbers so I have to count how many pages there are to record it properly and most of the time I just don’t bother anymore. Makes us look like we don’t read with our child but it’s just that the app is designed by people who must not actually use it themselves
New update last month Jan 2024 was rubbish. No features of “reading complete” after finishing a book. My child is really upset and now doesn’t want to read any more. Please fix it asap!
Latest update “improve interface for completing books”. Yep, improved by taking the option away
The latest update is terrible. You can no longer mark a book as complete, you have to put an end page number in. Also when marking as complete in the follow up step it flags it as completed on the current day, no longer possible to add completions retrospectively.
