## Review summary

Reviewers praise ThriftBooks for its vast, affordable catalog and fast shipping, plus useful features like choosing book condition and a buyback option. However, they frequently report misrepresented conditions, slow or damaged shipments, app instability after updates, and inconsistent customer service. The app is attractive for budget-minded readers and seekers of niche titles, but reliability and quality control remain recurring concerns.

### Pros

- Very affordable prices and overall good value for used books.
- Ability to choose the book's condition and rely on condition descriptions.
- Buyback/sell feature with competitive offers.
- Fast, reliable shipping and delivery (often quicker than estimated).

### Cons

- Condition descriptions often not accurate, with books arriving in worse condition than listed.
- Shipping can be slow, and some orders arrive damaged or with library markings that affect condition.
- App instability after updates; crashes or access issues can block use.
- Customer service responsiveness can be difficult or unhelpful at times.
- Quality control inconsistencies, including mislabeling or poor handling slipping through listings.
