  • Refund

    Would love for someone to return my email request for a refund. I was browsing the app and looking into signing up. My phone glitched or the app glitched, next thing I know, a $89.99 charge hit my apple account. I immediately tried to reverse it and emailed your support email. I have not heard back from anyone. I just sent another email requesting a refund. You can see that I have not used the app at all. How else can I get In touch with someone?

  • Not good at all

    You have to pay for the things that they advertise, and there’s literally no books on there.
  • Bad for books and media

    The pic scanner is a great idea. Just the fact that most of the actual pricing data is bad. Probably from being tied to booksrun rather than using ebay or amazon comps. Often doesnt find the good books that scoutly triggers do. Also would be cool if pic scanner worked for dvds

    Developer Response

    Hello would you mind sharing what has been causing problems for you. I'd love to fix it, thank you! This is our support email: improbablelabs@gmail.com
  • Not as advertised

    This app is a basically a referal service for booksrun. Very limited function. The screenshots are deceiving because thats not what the app looks like. Complete waste of time.
  • Didn’t work in uk

    I spent £6 to test this for a week. It scans the bookcase really slowly and has about a 60% success rate identifying the books but the prices it shows don’t apply in the United Kingdom… and everyone it valued was worthless in the uk so wasted more time than it saved which kinda defeats its purpose. I tried in a few shops before giving up on it…contacted the maker to see if they could link it with uk database but they just ignored me… still giving it 2 stars because the idea is good and it may be worthwhile getting if you are in the USA but you can forget about it in the UK sadly, especially at £6 a week!!!

  • Need to cancel - there’s no way to cancel ?

    Need to cancel - there’s no way to cancel ? No help ? No FAQ? It’s not reading bar codes correctly I want to opt out and it’s not letting me
  • Needs a subscription to use, not free

    Needs to say in description it’s only for use with a subscription. Waste of bandwidth
  • Misleading

    The description of this app is misleading. It doesn’t give values for eBay, only for the bookscouter app. It makes you sign up for bookscouter and become “an affiliate.” I scanned numerous books and none of them except for one current very popular title were available for valuation. They need to make it clear on the description that this app really only works for textbooks and that they want you to sell your books to bookscouter, not list them on eBay.

  • Off to a good start

    I wish I could insert pictures
  • Fantastic idea, but it doesn’t work.

    It takes over 5 minutes to process a shelf, and then it misses or does not list a price for the vast majority of the books. I think I got about 7 books identified and priced per 50 scanned, which is the maximum books per photo that they say program can handle (which it cannot, even if you lower the quantity of books). You also have to join some affiliate program for a books reseller website in order to gain access to the book scanning tool.

    The idea of this app is great, but it’s not functional, and therefore the developers should not have this “service” on the retail market for people to purchase yet.
