Reviews: What People Think About 1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Rating: 4/5
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.

Easy to add books with ISBN. But every time I add a book to the library or reading list I have to completely close out of the app for it to update, sometimes multiples times. Very inconvenient and frustrating but takes maybe 1 minute. The bugs need to be improved but I still use the app because it’s easier for me to track on my phone than to write down. Also just an annoyance, when using a screen shot for the cover of the book when manually entering books the picture is blurry. Just irks me.
Also I feel like the library that comes with the app is so random? I just went through and deleted all their books and have added mine as we read them to create our own library but that’s more of an irk as well. I think the library should just start out empty and books can just be added.
I did have to use the PDF help guides from the website to figure out how to use the app. It would be more helpful to just have the app take you through the steps itself once logged in.

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)
About 1000 Books Before Kindergarten
The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler. The goal is to have read 1,000 books (yes you can repeat books) before your precious one starts kindergarten. Does it sound hard? Not really if you think about it. If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year. That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years. If you consider that most children start kindergarten at around 5 years of age, you have more time than you think (so get started).
The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten app lets you keep track of your reading activity quickly and easily.
- Scan books into your library
- Keep track of reading activity for multiple readers
