Ratings and reviews

Scanning user experience was horrendous. No preview thumbnail to see which book is which (how are you meant to tell from a string of truncated text starting with author's last name) especially when you got 20+ books. No collection updates. Automated email has no info. Quality check was suspicious. They rejected a book which was brand new and sealed in original cover, claiming it was "missing pages or damaged" (highest priced item in the collection) while accepting a book that I didn't put in!

Badly designed app. Can't see title properly, no picture or ISBN listed. When scanning the last book stays on the screen instead of letting you scan again. Payment details don't save so you have to type them in again every time. No loyalty bonus. Slow to pay out. Your main competitor does all of these things better. Only positive is they tend to pay more for paperback novels than others.

Offers rock bottom prices for valuable books and then spams your notifications daily telling you to complete the transaction. Also not having the option to turn on the phone torch to better scan the items seems like an oversight. I probably would have just uninstalled the app if it didn't annoy me so much with the notifications, so here we are. 1 star.
