Book Swap for Android
This app is nothing but frustration. Never completes connection to the real site to get to account. R e authorizes over and over to get to a blank page. No outgoing or incoming books, wishlist, nothing.Tried over and over for over two years.
The app closed itself every time i attempted to click scan book
Can't install "Barcode Scanner" app through this app, and there are several apps by that name, so which one do I install? Without the scanning capability there is no reason to have this app.
I downloaded the app again and it works great!! I can't see book details when selected but thrilled that the app authorizes and works again. Thank you. I bought this app hoping it would work as the free one wouldn't. It doesn't and emailing for support multiple times was undeliverable. I would like a refund. Or help?
I am disappointed with this app. Any time that I am using the app and I switch to something else and then come back to it, it reports that it has stopped working so I have to restart it every time. When I look at one book and then look at another the app as an incrediblably difficult time of showing the new book. A feature that I think would be a good addition to the next update would be the ability to mark books at "sent". If the developer fixed these issues I would give it 5 stars.
So frustrated, bought this, keeps crashing and/or telling me I have to buy the app to use it. Also, can't use the bar code feature, says I need to download then crashes. Help or refund!! :(
Cant authorize. Cant use it anymore. Want refund. Barely able to use before now its total junk. Lots people having same problems with app. Possible scam as authorize page doesnt access my regular web browser.
I'm wary of this app. 3rd party plugin? Huh? I use the PBS Wishing app to scan books at my train station and was hoping this 'unofficial' app of PBSwap would be a step up. Not so. Stay ahead of the competition and develop an in-house scanner and keep the updates coming! Thanks for listening.
Bought this app, can't even log on. How do I even update? DL free one for now and getting refund for this until fixed. Really need/want a nice app to scan all my books.
I used to love it, but now it won't even connect to the internet or log in to my account. Since the new update, it takes me to the website, but the keyboard will not open, so I still cannot log in to my account. Updated 10/29 still can't get the keyboard to pop up on the login page.
Wont load. Keeps crashing and wont scan any books. Can't scan at least 50% of books. Keeps saying not found. Needs more features like the website. Needs lots Of modifications. Super sucky app now. Cant use it anymore.
The update fixed my problems, thanks!

Some functionality missing, but great first effort.
Waste of money! Stick with using the internet version or free version on your phone.
App doesn't work. Uninstalled after a few times trying to use it.
I cannot scan books and add them to either my bookshelf or my wish list. Went to the developer's website for help but website isn't operational. I would be more than happy to update my comments if the asp began to work.
It Still won't authorize for me and it looks like I have paid for it 2 times! I will up the ratings if & when it gets fixed! Thanks!!

UPDATE 9/10/12: Thank you for fixing account auth. This would be 4-5 stars if you could mark books received. Just paid for upgraded features on paid version and it won't authorize account. That means it won't link to my account and is now useless. I spent the whole time trying to get it to authorize and now can't get refund. Very unhappy! Htc
A stable and reasonably useful app. It is worth the cost of purchase, but I wish it would allow me to delete books from my wish list, bookshelf, etc. The best reason to buy it is so you can scan ISBN codes instead of having to.type them in when posting books.

My wishlist is empty, but every time I try to add a book, it says the book may already be in my wishlist!
I use this app when I'm at used book sales to see if the book is on somebody's wish list. If so, I can purchase it, post it to my bookshelf, mail it and get a quick credit. I wish that the developer would add the following features: 1. Add book to TBR pile 2. Add book to reminder list (my wish list is full)
One of the few apps I was willing to pay for after trying free vers. Samsung Captivate.
I love being able to scan books onto my WL or shelf instead of having to type in the isbn. If the backpage code doesn't work try the inside cover.

The search feature returns "no result found" on anything I tried to find. And you can't indicate when you approve a request which is most important.
I keep getting "App not authorized" msg, won't bother to try again. 4/2/13: Gave it another try, no dice. Waste of time to download.
Great to be able to scan stacks o' books. Thanks!
I only receive notifications when I hit refresh. I wish the feature to update would work so I would get notifications in my status bar.
Great app! Really wish the "reminder" list was available
It cannot authorize with paperbackswap rendering it useless.
would give a higher rating if I could mark books received.
App is ok. Nice to be able to mark books mailed but would be much better if could mark books received.
I use this a lot. I really need it to be able to mark books received.
It does not want to Authorize so it is useless right now. I have emailed the Dev but no answer yet. Love PBS and would love to use this app too.
Wonderful app. Very useful.
