FBAScan - Selling on Amazon! for Android
There is a definite learning curve to this app. The triggers don't really help at all, but you just have learn to read your screen quickly. Now I do much better since I have learned to interpret the screen info. It is very helpful!
The app could have been unbearable until someone cames along and did a little better. I registered, used the app for about 15-20 scans, it gave me an error so I reach out to customer service on some crappy chat page because they don't even own a phone number or a real website it's like something of the 90s. Everyone chats with this Ruben guy who is a terrible customer service representative. So when I speak to him I tell him I'm trying to purchas the subscription they selling and the subscription page you guys have is not letting me subscribe. So he tells me I have the wrong info that he's going to send me an email from where to subscribe. One how do I have the wrong info if that's the link we are taken to subscribe anyway. But Guess what, it's the same page I originally tried to subscribe from. So I go for it again and the samething happens so I reach out to him and tell him and guess what terrible customer service again. so how do you pay for something and they can't even handle payment registration properly after running an app for a few years... Give us something to think about before purchasing. Could have been a great app the best app probably could have changed the FBA Game. To bad...
App will not allow login.
When I got this app I was very pleased with it. I scanned many books. I trusted this app completely. When the app recommended I buy. I bought the books. Now since the update. Every book I scan now. The app rejects. Even the hundreds of books I bought before the update. Now if I scan the books I previously bought the app rejects them. I contacted customer support and did not get the help I needed. I recently scan 100 books hoping to get a recommendation to buy but the app rejected everyone. Even the scanners that scanned behind me pick up the books and bought them. I am losing a lot of money now. I absolutely have no trust in this app. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times hoping to fix this on my own but no luck. I now will find another app to help me.
Don't waste your time, it is garbage.
Could have a UK database
Awesome
This is as good as it gets! Yes, there are limitations when using the database offline but this is due to Amazon's policy of obfuscating their offline databse. This offline line limitation seems to plague all the scanning apps, not just FBAScan. So with that said, IMO, FBAScan is the best scanning app available until Amazon decides to stop playing dirty and give these 3rd party apps access to accurate data.
Very fast scanning app. Finds some items that Amazon app can't find.
It is useless now
App itself is very useful but their customer service sucks specially when they give you attitude when answering your questions. They know there was an issue with the app calculating fba fees on database mode and they never sent out any emails addressing the issue to their subscribers? And when asked about it, their customer service (named Ruben) was pretty much non responsive. He just left me hanging in the chat room without any resolution to my question, WTF??? So yes, their customer service sucks!!!
Meh, it works, more like 2.6 stars but not 2 or 3. It can be a 4 or 5 stars and way better than its competition. That will happen when even more focus and resources are placed into development than into the waste of overpaid thin skinned crybaby marketing who aggressively respond to good criticism when they get a review they don't like .
Saves me so much time the database is totally sweet! Connected with my Bluetooth scanner no problem! Very convent and a huge time save I've went through 5x the product in so little time! $40 per month pays off day one! Definitely a good investment!
I need help. I tried to scan some items and it says that my user ID doesn't exist. I also tried to download the database and it gave me the same response. Thanks!
Keeps telling me the user doesn't exist. Re downloaded a couple times. This app is useless.
Love it, but about to buy a new phone and am unsure of how my subscription will transfer over.
Honestly, the best tool on the market for book scouters. Has made me quite a bit of money.
Fantastic tool for booksellers.
Garbage.
great app
What a truly fabulous app! I instantly fell in love with the ease of use, for being so much awesome!! Super fast, too. Even works offline. YES!
Loved the trial period and then tried scoutify going back to FBA scan
The app works, but subscribing is a complete ripoff. The idea is to have access to an OFFLINE database in order to make good buying decisions to sell things on Amazon. However, due to "limitations" (which was all the worthless customer service chat rep could tell me) it does NOT return the LOWEST FBA price, and says books are a good buy when in fact we would take more of a loss sending them in. The only solution proposed was to do a "live search" with every item to double check. Not only is this a waste of time, I would have to pay MORE each month and search for each item TWICE. If the database cannot be trusted this app and the service is worthless.
CCC eBay keepa none of the add ones appear when you click them. I uninstalled the app an reinstalled it and the problem continues. Really killing sourcing...
Love the sound notifications after you scan a book. Being able to set your own specifications for what books are accepted is great for trying out new selling strategies.
I logged in with my pro seller account and it gave me this message: failed code:2 Can you help
I had been very time customer ya very good ya. I sell on amazon very easy make good profit books
I downloaded the app and made an account only ive downloaded the wrong app and i dont want to be charged so if i delete the app will i still be charged?
I love this app. Very helpful in knowing what to buy and what not too!
Best FBA scouting and scanning app!
I would look at other options before using FBAscan. They are not honest and refuse to refund if issues crop up. If all you need is a database that works for books, then it will work for you. The listing software is not even ready yet, nor is the offline database working for other items. Will go back to free options and tell others to do thorough research before signing up for FBAscan. They have gotten too big to care about customer support. Buyer beware!
Solid App. Support is on point.
a great tool
Nice app but they don't let you try the database first so you have to spend at least $30 just to see whether or not it works for you. And then even if you decide to shell out the money to try the database feature, there is no way to upgrade within the app so it's kind of worthless. UPDATE: after a horrible experience due to lack of customer service we found INVENTORY LAB and LOVE it! IL's customer service is incredible and it is an all encompassing tool for sellers. Check out INVENTORY LAB!!!
Some of the features seem outdated but overall does what it sets out to do. I feel like it was kind of a burden trying to get it set up.
Monthly price pays for itself in less than a day. Negative reviews are from people who don't understand how to use this app to its full potential.
I've been looking for an offline app similar to this but tackling different markets like grocery stores and retail markets. To gain or research items while on the go.
When opening the app, you are prompted to enter your Amazon Seller information. I logged in successfully, but when I search or scan and item I receive error message that says Amazon password is wrong. Ok, so how did I just log in successfully if the password is wrong...?
I have an actual paid account and it's no longer recognizing my password. How so i recover it?

This app is very useful for when I was trying to resell books. Just take it from Reezy Resells: "FBAScan is an essential tool for finding profitable books to resell." I recommend! This recent experiance with the ASELLERTOOL (subscription you must buy for the professional featues, which I also recommend) put a real big smile on my face. After 2 months of not using the app, I remembered I was still subscibed to the 40$ professional account I had not used in two months. I emailed them asking for only half my money back assuming that I was not going to get a penny back. They kindly sent me an email the next day with two 40$ refund tickets directly to my PayPal. This has got to be one of my greatest customer service experiance of my hustle. Take notes!
