Ratings and reviews

This is a useful tool. I know some of the reviews complain about low prices but they evidently don't understand that this just checks all buyers to match them up and that there is not a big resell market for a lot of fiction. I have found some 60.00 books at thrift stores using this app! However lately it freezes up and searches forever with working. Happens regularly, on Wifi or data. It just isn't connecting. Very frustrating. Used to be much better...what's going on?

This app is super easy to use and have never had any glitches or errors. No troubles whatsoever. Unfortunately though, I never seem to have any luck finding any buyers for more than a few cents; however, this is not necessarily a fault of the app itself. They do however show you what Amazon is buying or selling the same books for on their site and also offer to email you a copy of the list of books you have uploaded to your "Bookshelf" within this app which is a really cool feature!!

I use it a lot. If I could scan, decide, then scan again to move on to the next book with my Bluetooth scanner.... instead of having to hit the "New search" button after each scan it would cut my time scanning in half. Also I only use 3 buy back companies. It would be nice to exclude all the others, so the results come back a lot faster searching less sources. Appreciate the app. Makes me a little money over just scanning for one dud buyer.
