I do not recommend this app. I used Bookscouter and the company that I sold books to called Booksrun was rated highly on their site. I had a horrible experience with Booksrun, for 6 books the company offered me 17.76$ , and when they received my books they only sent me a picture of 1 book and the quote went to $1.09. I tried posting a 1 star review of Booksrun on Bookscouter twice, they have not posted it but yet 5 star reviews for Booksrun keep appearing. I will never use Bookscouter again.

I use this app ALOT and the barcode scanner is slow and when I put the cursor on search bar, it switches the screen as soon as I type the first letter. Also when scanning barcodes, it will pull up some companies, but not all and a few mins later the other companies will appear. It wastes alot of time with these errors.

Super easy to use! Adds the title you search for into your "bookshelf". It gives you several options of book buyers and what they may be willing to pay. The barcode scanner is genius! Unfortunately, I haven't found a diamond in my stack of books!
