★★★★★ Shauna · Nov 16, 2025

Awesome app! So easy to use to sell your books and get paid. that is simple!

★★★★★ Michelle Cooley · Apr 5, 2026

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

★★★★★ James Sperling · Jan 27, 2026

Quick and accurate look-ups, been using book Scouter a couple of years now and honestly the only problems I have is sometimes books will hold value but when scanned it labels the book "currently not buying". Other times will give quoted prices under wrong ISBN (mainly happens on loose leaf editions and copies with multiple isbns. Other than double-checking your money which should do anyway thank you book Scouter for making a hectic process that much easier. Most definitely would recommend 5-star app

★☆☆☆☆ 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

★☆☆☆☆ 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 ???

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Raevyn Wolfe · Jul 19, 2026

I can't get past the welcome screen. I swipe through the 3, and get to the 4th slide and pull it all the way across, and it slides right back to the 3rd, so I can't make an account. I was wanting to use to this to check prices on numerous books I have
