Review summary

Users appreciate BookScouter's ease of scanning and comparison of book prices from multiple buyers, along with the helpful virtual bookshelf for managing books. It effectively aids quick decision-making on book resale. However, users face issues like app crashes, occasional freezing, and challenges with manual ISBN entry. Some also report low or inconsistent buyback prices and desire more features such as better bookshelf search and buyer filtering. Overall, the app is valued but could improve stability and usability features.

Pros

Quick and easy scanning feature simplifies comparing book prices across multiple buyers.
Accurate and extensive database that usually finds books and offers realistic buyback prices.
Helps users efficiently sort through many books to decide which have resale value or should be donated.
Keeps a virtual bookshelf of scanned books, facilitating easy tracking and selling decisions.
The app is regularly updated and developers clearly respond to user feedback for improvements.

Cons

App occasionally crashes or displays a 'white screen of death', especially during scanning sessions.
Some users experience app freezing or infinite searching, reducing reliability during scanning.
Manual ISBN input can be problematic, especially when dashes or 'X' characters are included or for older books without barcodes.
Buyback prices can be low or inconsistent, and sometimes the app shows incorrect availability compared to buyer websites.
Lack of certain features such as easier navigation/search within the bookshelf, or ability to exclude certain buyers to speed up results.
