Review summary

Users appreciate BookTrapper for its user-friendly design, effective scanning, and helping find the best places to sell textbooks, often securing good returns and saving money. However, many report that the app often assigns very low prices to books, is heavily focused on textbooks, and experiences loading issues after scanning. Additionally, some users note geographic limitations and the inconvenience of needing multiple apps. Overall, while it is a helpful tool for textbook sellers, these recurring issues impact user experience.

Pros

Introduces users to multiple places to sell textbooks, increasing potential earnings.
User-friendly and straightforward interface with a clean design.
Efficient scanning functionality for book ISBNs.
Saves money for students by valuing old textbooks effectively.
Allows easy switching between buying and selling without re-entering ISBNs.

Cons

Inaccurate or low valuation prices for many textbooks, often just pennies.
App seems primarily focused on textbooks and less useful for other books.
Loading issues after scanning books, leading to frustration.
Some users find the app's coverage limited geographically, e.g., mostly US-based.
Requires downloading multiple apps for full functionality, which users find inconvenient.

2023-05-04	An*****	So far a great timesaving tool! I just started using it a few days ago but it has already introduced me to a number of new places to sell that I was unaware of and also resulted in me making more money than I otherwise would have. Overall very pleased. Thank you for such a clean, straightforward, user friendly app!

2022-03-17	Ti*****	I ended up not using the app because it seems to be mainly for textbooks. Most of everything I scanned was only worth a few pennies to them so I listed on ebay and amazon instead. The app itself seemed to work fine because it gave me no issues.
