## Review summary

Beanstack Tracker is useful for tracking reading and supporting school challenges, and it offers motivation through prizes. However, users repeatedly report bugs that distort counts and stop progress from updating, along with crashes and login issues. The app’s UI tends to be clunky and hard to navigate, and title/search/upload problems hinder finding books and recording progress. Reliability and usability improvements are needed to match its helpful features.

### Pros

- Helps track daily reading progress and minutes, aiding goal-setting for individuals and families.
- Provides prizes/incentives that boost engagement and motivation for school-related challenges.
- Useful for school-based reading challenges and group participation, supporting classroom activities.
- Generally helpful for logging and organizing reading records across users and sessions.

### Cons

- Bugs causing inaccurate book counts and progress not updating across sessions, leading to unreliable tracking.
- Crashes and frequent login/logout issues after updates, reducing app stability.
- Clunky UI with extra steps, difficult navigation, and poor back/undo behavior that hampers logging.
- Problems finding or adding titles (including Libby-connected books) and uploading entries, leading to manual work and frustration.
