## What is ScoutIQ?

ScoutIQ is a scouting app designed for enterprise-level Amazon professional sellers.  If you're looking to make money by selling books - or anything else - on Amazon, this is the app for you!  Whether you sell Merchant Fulfilled or FBA items on Amazon, ScoutIQ’s mission is to leverage data to help you scout SMARTER, not harder.

Key features include:
++ Downloadable Database - helps you access data faster and in areas without cell coverage
++ eScore - our proprietary data point that gives you “x-ray vision” into a book’s historical sales without leaving the app’s scout screen (no need to pull up Keepa or Camel charts!)
++ Team Mode - scale your enterprise-level scout team by adding child accounts (at a discounted rate), turn on Hidden Mode remotely, in real time, and manage your team through a centralized web portal. This is a game changer in the industry, allowing you to build your team across the country without physically touching their phone.
++ Multiple Trigger Profiles - you can tailor your scouting rules to your unique situation.  Build one set for thrift stores, another for retail arbitrage, and another for garage sales.  Easily switch triggers when you're out in the field to take advantage of the opportunities around you!
++ Advanced Product Lookups - manually type in ISBNs, use your phone's camera to scan a barcode, or pair the app with a Bluetooth barcode scanner at no extra cost to quickly analyze products that you're hoping to flip
++ Smart Triggers - advanced, customizable triggers look at multiple data points to help you pick a realistic list price for every item that you scan, minimizing blind spots that exist with other apps
++ ScanTracker - measure key scanning stats to identify which sources are worth returning to at a later date
++ Scout Lite Screen - a simplified screen with color-coded bars that help you make faster sourcing decisions
++ Profit-based Approach - our triggers focus on your estimated payout after a book sells, not on the expected list price, so you can make decisions that impact your bottom line, not just your top line

Built for sellers by sellers - we understand the market because we sell in it every single day.  We’re proud to employ a US-based support team to help answer your questions.

ScoutIQ pulls data from the US and UK markets only (amazon.com and amazon.co.uk), but we’re looking into opportunities to expand into additional countries and markets.

If you find any bugs or have ideas for improving the app, please reach out to us!  We value your feedback and are committed to providing the very best app to help eCommerce sellers manage their businesses more effectively.

### 1/5 — Good Luck

*2026-08-19, version 5.14.2*

I’ll be amazed if you can even create an account.  Super buggy.  Use other similar apps that are more reliable.

### 1/5 — How Do You Even Sign Up?

*2026-06-07, version 5.14.2*

How does anyone even sign up for this app? I’ve gone around and around in circles and it just keeps telling me my account doesn’t exist. I can sign in on the website, but I can’t get into the actual app. Very frustrating. How am I supposed to trust an app that has such a terrible sign-up process?

### 1/5 — Issue w getting started with app

*2026-03-06, version 5.14.1*

After my email was verified, the login still was not accepted.

### 5/5 — How to create account

*2026-03-04, version 5.14.1*

I'm having problems creating an account how can I get an account

### 1/5 — Horrible value for the money

*2025-12-20, version 5.14.1*

The Scoutly app has everything you need but it’s better, faster, and has a more professional management team. Anyone by the name of “Caleb Rothster” is just another way of saying “a scammer.” Plus he hires influencers to peddle this pyramid scheme and push a weaker Scoutly onto the reselling community, for quadruple the cost. Everybody go get Scoutly; they are truly for the reseller community and aren’t overcharging you for this product!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Unable to sign up in U.K.

*2025-05-11, version 5.12.0*

It doesn’t give you anyway to sign up

### 5/5 — 250,000 scans, 6 years

*2025-04-28, version 5.12.0*

Still going great :)

### 1/5 — Can't demo app

*2025-02-11, version 5.11.7*

I signed up for a trial and it's a bust. I can't even sign in to the app, it just hangs on a white screen.

### 1/5 — Keeps logging out

*2024-06-01, version 5.11.2*

Keeps logging out in the middle of scanning and then keeps saying login information wrong then change the password keeps saying wrong use the correct password again and it will say this passwords previously used , it’s very frustrating and a big waste of time

### 3/5 — Crashes

*2024-05-07, version 5.10.13*

The app has been crashing on me every few scans.
