Comments on BookScouter - sell & buy books for Android

★★★★★ Michelle Cooley · Apr 5, 2026

Everything is going very smoothly. Every time I scan a book for the price. Price immediately pops up

★★★★★ jamie Barry · Jun 16, 2026

Good only problem is that I can't find out if I can sell from the UK

★★★★★ taylor Lafferty · May 9, 2026

Scanner is very easy. Going between this app and thrift books, you get a lot more options. Most of the options come from Book Scouter

★★★★★ Lunar Water · Oct 7, 2026

This app is great if you're looking to quickly get the value and of multiple books. Unlike other apps It's able to quickly pull the ISBN, and it almost always gets the book correct. Even with the hard to scan children books. I wish they'd add thrift books and world of books hasn't been working, but that might be update related. Still the best I've found.

★☆☆☆☆ Andria Tomlin · Aug 24, 2026

I'm being told that World of books wasn't currently buying the books I scanned, but I just got off their app where they had made me an offer on all the books I scanned.

★☆☆☆☆ Ammar Aden · Sep 17, 2026

Bro its so bad 0.20¢ for one bad guy book like holy scam I paid $12 for bad guy

★☆☆☆☆ Steven Haynes · Apr 29, 2026

This app would be great if it actually checked book prices but half of the books that have no offers do have offers from multiple vendors at first it was minimal offers, but then I discovered a $26 offer for a book that they claimed had no offers... I can't trust this app and you shouldn't either

★★☆☆☆ Alexander Derrico · Apr 7, 2026

Easy enough to navigate but if you are looking for extra cash and getting fair value this is the wrong app. For bulk maybe but not for a fair price.

★☆☆☆☆ Chris Crawford · Jun 4, 2026

Im just trying to find a sell book app to sell my books without a ISBN#, WHY IS IT SO ???
