Parent, Lindsey Sanders, wrote and shared a useful app she found for the Android. "Just thought you'd like to know there is an app for AR quizzes! As soon as I found it I thought other parents would like to know about it. It's called "points scan free" on Android smart phones. It is free because there are adds, but they're unobtrusive. The app lets you scan a barcode to see if there is an AR test for it. It will display the reading level, points available, and quiz number for the scanned title. If a book doesn't have a barcode you can also search by author or title. It is so convenient to pick up a book from my daughter's room and scan it to check if there's a test. I don't have to go to the computer to do it. Below is a description from the app website.
