Features & Capabilities

Points Scan is a Chrome extension that lets you scan a book's barcode with your phone to instantly view Accelerated Reader (AR) information, including AR points, level, and quiz number. If a barcode isn't available, you can search by title or author.

You can also save favorites for later. Note: Renaissance Learning developed Accelerated Reader and is not affiliated with Straight Path Apps.

User Reviews

Users find Points Scan useful for AR goals and on-the-go book lookups, especially with the barcode feature. However, reliability is a major problem: the app frequently freezes or crashes, scans and searches are inconsistent, many titles are missing, and some usability features (like deleting saved items) are lacking or awkward.
Pros
  • Helpful for Accelerated Reader (AR) goals and quizzes, aiding point tracking.
  • Useful for teachers/parents and makes AR tasks easier.
  • Barcode scanning can quickly locate books when it works.
  • Generally perceived as a handy, convenient tool for on-the-go use when functioning properly.
Cons
  • Frequent freezes/crashes and sudden app closures.
  • Barcode scanning and search are not reliably finding books and can misread barcodes.
  • Slow performance with long loading times or endless loading screens.
  • Incomplete catalog with many missing titles, especially AR books, compared to AR Finder.
  • Usability issues such as autocorrect misreads and inability to delete or manage saved items.

Many books that are available on the Renaissance book find website don’t show up here. It used to work years ago but doesn’t seem to anymore.
