BookTrapper Customer Insights

1. 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.

2. E.g. US Only.Great app! Simple to use and lets you compare different prices all at once!The books scan but the page afterwards just keeps loading, I tried a lot of books too.Great value.

3. Scanner works good too.This is such a great tool for getting the best returns on the books you sell, and saving on those you buy.

4. Thank you for such a clean, straightforward, user friendly app!I ended up not using the app because it seems to be mainly for textbooks.

5. The app itself seemed to work fine because it gave me no issues.Good app - got top dollar for my old textbooks.

6. Most of everything I scanned was only worth a few pennies to them so I listed on ebay and amazon instead.

7. I like how you can switch between selling and buying without having to type the isbn again.

8. Brilliant concept.This appears to be for US based users.

9. If it's a Google issue please clarify in the title.

10. It should not appear in the UK Playstore.

11. Overall very pleased.
