Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Bad service and full of bugs

I’ve been selling loads of books atm and this is the worst app for it. First the app is full of bugs, not letting me delete books from my list or constantly crashing and taking ages to scan even tho I used other book scanning apps at the same time and were much faster. Then to top it off I’ve had the books waiting for collection for nearly a month now, have rearranged multiple dates for collection but evri never come. (If anyone knows evri are rebound for being terrible) you better off using World of Books or We Buy Books.

Payment Issue

Application doesn’t allowed you to check out with bank payment same at the site also. That’s too much suspicious

Don’t bother

I tried to scan books. Only 4 out of 50 books had a resale price of between £0.10 to £0.59, The rest showed no price at all. Pretty useless app.

Lowball offers and lots of “no offer”

Waste of time! of the 10 books I scanned only 4 get an offer. Real lowball 50p or 75p the others got no offer despite 1 being so new it’s not even out in paperback yet. Not worth the effort involved for such a small reward. Don’t waste your time.

Great book selling App

Used this App to scan used books I no longer need, it works really well, scanned easily, I didn’t have to keep holding the book back and forth to focus on the barcode. Price given instantly if a valid barcode is available. I like this App.
