The app allows users to scan their book barcodes or identifiers to figure out which books to donate. Users can scan book barcodes or OCR printed identifiers in their books using their phone camera to identify their books and match to corresponding metadata.

Simply place the barcode or identifier in the view of your phone camera and see a red or green response indicating whether to donate the book or not.
