### 1/5 — App buggy and doesn’t work right

*2024-10-31*

This app is so filled with bugs and doesn’t work correctly half the time. Either my cart gets randomly lost and I have to start over scanning my books or it doesn’t work at all and keeps prompting “Error. Something went wrong” and won’t scan any books at all, even with a forced restart of the app. Thank god it’s free… only reason it gets 1 star.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-03-26*

I’ve been selling books on eBay for four years now with over 700 sales. 100% custom satisfaction. Four weeks after receiving my books, still no payment. Three inquiries later no payment. Threaten to give a bad review. Partial payments. Claim to have not received every book. My record Stands for itself.

### 1/5 — Didn't receive payment!!!

*2024-03-14*

I never received payment for the books I sent them. They sent confirmation that my books were received. I even received an email stating that payment was being sent to my PayPal account. However, the payment was never deposited to my PayPal account!!!  I've also sent three emails inquiring about this matter and received ZERO response.

### 1/5 — App leaves much to be desired

*2024-02-22*

The app seems to scan the bar codes most of the time, but trying to check out is a nightmare. It keeps saying there’s an error and you need to sign in again. Others complained about this issue a year ago and apparently the company either doesn’t read their reviews or they don’t care because it’s not fixed.

### 1/5 — Scam Thieves

*2024-01-25*

The scanner tells you how much you’ll get, then they send you half of what you’re quoted and tell you the books were damaged. They don’t send pictures of the books they aren’t paying you for, and they don’t send the books back. Don't waste your time on this app. They’ll take your books and run.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2024-01-24*

I was trying to sell some books to earn back some of the money I spent on them. I scanned on that was $17 and it was going to pay me 0.47 for the book?! The highest value I got was $2 for one of my books. They’re definitely selling these books for more and sellers are getting ripped off.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-01-11*

It won’t let you delete your account and the privacy policy “doesn’t exist anymore for this app”. Don’t know if it legitimately gives you money— they only take certain books for pennies on the dollar. They will only pay you out after $25 has been reached.

### 1/5 — waste of time

*2023-07-29*

They will only pay you 10-20 cents for most books, but won’t even let you checkout until you have over $7.50 in books. Unless you have dozens of books you’re selling, you can’t even checkout. Stupid and scammy.

### 5/5 — The only one is getting to

*2023-07-29*

Everything was okay to say

### 5/5 — Probably the most thing to
