Hi Jacqui – that’s right (for now). Hope to add this very soon!
I did BUY book creator on Google play but now I have to pay again!!!!!
Will there be an individual book creator? My son started writing books at about 8 years old. Wondered if this would help with all aspects of writing?
Hi Ron – for individual home use, we have our Book Creator for iPad app.
the kids have ben loving it!
I’m having problems. We are using the Chrome version of Book Creator at school and I’m trying to access my classes book at home. I have the code to join my classes library, but I cant download the app. I go through all the steps to download Chrome onto my Mac Book, but when I get to the part where it tells me to go find it in my applications, it isn’t there. I have download it maybe 5 times and it hasn’t worked a single time. Can ideas?
I also tried to download the app onto my Ipad. But I go the free version because my school has already spent money on the other version, but I can’t access my classes library on the app either.
Right now, you can’t access your online libraries in the iPad app. That’s coming later in year.
Hi Doug – there’s nothing to download? You just need to go to app.bookcreator.com and sign in.
Hi. I was just wondering if there is a free lite version? I know that there used to be a free lite version on the Ipad.
We stil have a free lite version of our iPad app – Book Creator One. Book Creator for Chrome has a free tier for all teachers. When you sign in, you get 1 library and 40 books for free.

my granddaughter is using Book Creator on her school Ipad and on her personal Ipad, can i purchase this app for a Samsung tablet we have been going around in circles as it seems to say its available on google chrome, but then chrome says not found, we are very disappointed as this is such a great app
Hi Meryl – go to app.bookcreator.com.
All my students, Grades 4, 5 and 6 all have the paid version of Book Creator on iPad and with our school’s migration to ChromeBooks, will they have to buy a new subscription?
Pricing for Book Creator for iPad and our web app is completely separate. But students don’t need to purchase anything. Teachers can register for free and have their students join their library.
I’m having trouble loading the app on my Chromebook. I get a message that my screen isn’t large enough and my device isn’t supported.
Hi Jennifer – see this: https://intercom.help/bookcreator/en/articles/4031963-my-screen-says-device-not-supported
Al iniciar bookcreator en mi ordenador me sale en la pantalla que debo ir a pantalla completa pero no me funciona ya que se queda bloqueado. ¿Qué puedo hacer para poder entrar sin este problema que me surge?
