A few acknowledge a promising concept and potential if reliability improves.

Recent reviews

I can’t get the barcode scanner to work, except for once, when it found no prices for a book that is listed multiple times on AbeBooks. Typing the barcode results in nothing. It just clears the screen. Seems like this app has worked for others, but it’s been a disappointment. Canceled subscription after an hour of wasted time.
