Books without a level yet group at the end.\n- Level my library: hand your books to the companion QuickScan app, which looks up the levels and sends them back — watch progress and pause any time.\n- Already leveled books in QuickScan? Import those reading levels straight from your scan history.\n\nYOUR CLASSROOM LIBRARY\n- Scan barcodes to build your catalog fast.\n- Quick Checkout: scan a book to check it out to a student in one step; if a scan matches more than one copy, Bookshelf asks which you mean.\n- Track who has what, and keep locations, statuses, and copies organized.\n- Syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud.\n- Works on iPhone Duo, folded or open.\n- Includes up to 10 books and 3 students. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited books and students.\n\nBUILT FOR TEACHERS\nBookshelf Scanner is made for classroom and school libraries — a fast, private way to know what's on your shelves and who's reading what.\n\nReading levels come from the companion QuickScan app and need QuickScan Unlimited.

We'd love to hear from you.","facts":{"developer_id":583672055,"developer_url":"https://ifthendev.com/bookshelfscanner","first_released":"2020-08-31T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://ifthendev.com/bookshelfscanner/help.html","privacy_url":"https://ifthendev.com/privacy-policy/","website_url":"https://ifthendev.com/bookshelfscanner","app_version":"3.1","release_notes":"Bookshelf now works on iPhone Duo, folded or open.\n\nImproved reliability and stability, including how Bookshelf stores your library.","rating_current_version":4.21429,"rating_count_current_version":42,"star_counts":[4,2,2,7,27],"genres":["Education","Utilities"],"languages":["EN"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["mac","iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-11T13:02:12.612Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-08T21:02:13.091Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-12T12:56:13.044Z","placed_at":"2026-11-08T13:21:12.855Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T17:27:12.879Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Scans classroom book barcodes to catalog books, track checkouts to students, and sort the shelf by reading level.","what_is":"Bookshelf Scanner uses a phone as a barcode scanner for classroom books.
