Ads After Purchase

Having to see ads and offers just to track my order and see my receipt is unacceptable to me and is a 1 star review in my book.

Great Store & App

Without this site, I would have never been able to afford the books and the knowledge that I’ve gained from them. I don’t even know how this app doesn’t have a five star! Most books come used from a brick and mortar because many have already flipped through the pages and we’re able to get these books at 10% of the cost!

Needs a consistent back button!

Thriftbooks as a company is truly amazing and I haven’t bought a book any other way in years. However! The app has a severe lack of a back button. It’s there sometimes, but sometimes it’s not. Like when I click into an order to track—the only way to get back to the home screen is to force close the app and reopen it. There needs to be a fix for this. There should always be a back button! Please! I beg!

Account creation problems

Did not create my account. Could not log me in and could not reset my password. In other words, this app gives problems at Hello.

Book Mold

I’ve bought from this app a few times because they’re cheaper books. What I didn’t expect was for them to ship a library book to me with mold on it. I was disappointed with my first order because some books were bent or had slightly discolored pages, but I knew they were pre-owned books so I sort of knew what I was getting into as I wasn’t able to personally look at the quality of each one. This time around each book smelled sour and one even had large stains which contained a bit of mold too. Just because I chose “Acceptable” quality, it should not come with mold.
