Is this still operational?
Can’t find information
Does not work anymore
The last couple of months I’ve been trying on and off to see if it started to work again but all it has been saying to me is that they don’t have any delivery drivers available at the moment I don’t know if this is a bug or whatever but it’s stupid
It is a bad app
I had downloaded the app because I have so many books to get rid of I tried to scan one of the books and it said we do not carry that book I tried about 10 other books and it said the same thing so I emailed them and it said that they would respond in the next 24 hours they didn’t so I emailed again same thing happened not a good app so disappointed

1p 😹😹
Scammed 500+ dvds. Highest offer was 1 pence.
Don’t waste your time on this

2024 lure you in but then…
Scanned 10 DVDs and getting between 20p-30p for each one. Soon as I get past my 10th item suddenly every DVD is only worth 1p. I scanned another 20x all at 1p Each??
Permanent maintenance, waste of time
I liked the idea of these guys. Even if i got nothing for my old DVDs I’d be happy for them to go somewhere and be reused or recycled. But this app hasn’t worked EVER on any single barcode on any DVD since I downloaded it. Don’t waste your time. Use Music Magpie and then recycle the ones they won’t take.

Doesn’t work
I downloaded this yesterday, it didn’t work. I tried again today and still every time I try and scan or enter a barcode manually it gives me a message saying there is maintenance work being done
Planned maintenance
Every time I scan something, I’m told some crap about planned maintenance so it hasn’t been added.
Waste of time. Don’t bother yourself.

Still b@ggered
6 months after the last person said the system was offline, it’s still offline. Why are apple allowing this cr@p to stay on the store??
Simply DOES NOT WORK
Downloaded three days ago. Tried it straight away - scan an item: ‘Item not found. Due to essential planned maintenance we…’
Same the following day, and the day after…same message.
Your essential planned maintenance clearly isn’t that essential if you’re not trying hard enough to get your app to work at all.
Shame I can’t give lower than one star but this is just not fit for purpose.

Not working!
Every time I scan a barcode a message in red displays cannot process due to maintenance. Has been this way for weeks. Not a good app. Sort it out!!
Disappointing
I was delighted that they accepted a lot of books that other sites hadn’t taken but they were all for a penny. When I reached the grand total of £4.03 the app stopped and said the weight of my books was too great. I couldn’t cash in, however, as it was under the minimum £5 sale. The books I could sell elsewhere have gone and the rest will go to a charity shop. A huge waste of time and effort.

Rip off
They give 1p for most books where everyone else would pay 20p. I saw other reviewers wrote they weren’t paid for good condition books they sent in. I thought they were just unlucky until it happened to me. I sent in brand new Star Trek books, they were the most valuable items of the lot I sold. Zapper emailed me that I wasn’t to be paid because they were in “poor condition”. Lies. The were brand new unread. Employees must get a kick out of scamming people.

Waste of time
Clearing out old CDs and DVDs. Most CDs will be given 1p value and then you can’t submit your complete order until you reach a minimum of £5.00. So I duly sent off nearly 100 CDs eventually.
Their delivery service is via Hermes. I sent my parcel off and nearly two weeks later, they still haven’t received it. I have used other re-selling apps and I won’t use ZAPPER again.

Waste of time
After scanned almost a 100 items. The app says., ‘We cannot accept trades with a value of less than £5.00. Please add more items to your list’.
So considering that most items are valued for £0.01, I’d need to scan 500 items!

Dishonest
I carefully scanned and packed up over 170 dvds. I was offered a few pounds on certain titles but these apparently failed testing when they arrived. They were fine but I guess they wanted to pay as little as possible so they didn’t pay for the more expensive titles and wouldn’t return them to me. Just very sad that even on such small value they felt the need to cheat their customer.

Easy way to declutter.
I had a poke of books gathering dust. Tried eBay, but no luck, so sent them off to Zapper and quite quickly received cash for them. Some books I only got 20p for, but it all adds up and hopefully someone else can read them now.
It’s ok but nothing more
The app told me that the first item I scanned was already in the list! Ridiculous. The scanner works ok most of the time though couldn’t recognise some barcodes. The prices offered were so low I’d spend more in petrol, packing and time than would make the exercise worthwhile. May as well take the items to a local charity shop. Really disappointing.

Excellent service
Zapper is one of my two favourite book-buying apps, the other being Ziffit. They both pay the most for books, and often give books a different value from each other, so I think it’s best to use both.
Where Zapper differs from all the other book-buying apps is that they’ll take almost any book, even if they deem it to have no value - allowing you to declutter your house of all the books you’ll never read again.
(However, you can’t pack every single book into your box as there’s a maximum weight limit of 10kg. 10kg is still a lot though!) Please note that you also need a printer for the labels.
I got paid promptly into my bank account and the whole process was really smooth. I’m happy and will definitely use them again.
