### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2020-05-20*

It’s a simple and straightforward app that does everything it says it will do.  My favorite feature is being able to save your searches in your bookbag, much like an online catalog.  I use this feature to catalog all my books.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2018-09-19*

If ur a comic collector and are trying to resell one day this is very handy

### 1/5 — Not working at all.

*2013-01-05*

Seems that it's dead.

### 3/5 — Good but needs more

*2012-02-01*

Big fan of the website but not as much with the app. It needs work. Most annoying is how every time you go to another app and then go back to this app, it starts back up without any info you input. 

So let's say you take a pic of a isbn number, you cannot go back and forth entering the numbers without it erasing your previous entry. LAME.

**Developer response:** An updated version has just been released that fixes this issue, among other bugs, and even adds a barcode scanner.  Thanks for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Great savings!!!

*2012-01-15*

Bought bunch of books and textbooks and saved over $100 using their multiple shopping list feature called myBundle. Very useful with updated online coupon codes from all the bookstores. Super!!!

### 4/5 — Nice and useful

*2010-01-07*

This is pretty useful, I found better deals than I did searching online. The iBundle feature is pretty cool. I can save up to $200 on books compared to my university bookstore.
