### 1/5 — Funktioniert

*2019-01-22*

Alles was es können muss, tut es. Leider tut es nichts auf angenehme und komfortable Weise. Beim Ausfüllen der Anschrift wechselt der Cursor beim drücken der Tab-Taste leider nicht wie es sich gehört ins nächste Feld sondern immer zurück in die Länderangabe. Auch im Suchfeld kann man die gewünschte Suche nicht mit der Enter-Taste triggern. Die Suchen werden nicht wirklich gespeichert und ob die Berechtigung zum senden von Benachrichtigung eine Sinnvolle Funktion ist, wird auch nicht ganz klar. Über neu eingestellte Artikel zu vergangenen Suchen scheinen keine Benachrichtigungen zukommen.

### 5/5 — Super!

*2018-08-11*

Anfangs war ich skeptisch, da die Bezahlung nicht über die App abgewickelt wird. Ist aber kein Problem... Man bestellt ein Buch (oder mehrere) bei einem Händler und bekommt vom Händler (oder von den Händlern) die Zahlungsanweisung (per mail). (Die Zahlungsanweisung erfolgt nicht sofort; Dies liegt am Händler, wie schnell er die Zahlungsanweisung mailt.)
Wer alte oder vergriffene Bücher sucht, dem ist die App sehr zu empfehlen. Die App versteht sich also nur als „Vermittler“ zum Händler.

### 5/5 — Klasse App für Buchliebhaber und Sammler

*2017-09-18*

Tut was sie soll. Besonders gut gefällt mir die Favoriten-Funktion. Nur Paypal sollte noch besser integriert werden.
