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!!

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 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.
