Ratings and reviews

Used to be great. Now I keep getting white screen of death... This app was initially great. It was really consistent and easy to use. Recently I've been having a lot of issues with it.. it seems 90% of the times I scanned something it I get the white screen of death. This happens mostly with my finger scanner but it also happens when I scan with my phone. I've reached out to the developers via email. Waiting to hear back. Will update review dependent on what they can advise for troubleshooting.

It's obvious they see the reviews & comments, & they actually LISTEN. Noticable improvements & quick! The barcode reader reads w/more ease, the search results pop up quicker, the back button works, & the app is simply faster than before, --& I've had the same phone throughtout. Nice work! Just 1 thing (always something 😉), I LOVE the keyboard for the ISBN is now just numbers (much faster!), but what do I do when the ISBN has an X & the barcode can't be read? Thx! Keep up the great work! 👍

I just started using this, but I've been hoping for OCR in a book scanner for as long as I've been selling to World of Books (Ziffit and SellBackYourBook). The fact that this has OCR is amazing, and worth 5 stars by itself. Then it searches a bunch of book buyers at once? Excellent. The only thing left is to offer (for an extra charge of course) the option to ship all of the books to you and have you sort and resell them to the buyers. But that could get hairy. What you offer now is outstanding.
