Compares textbook prices for free!

Campus books really helped me save a lot by comparing prices on all my books. You can scan your book barcode, and the app shows you the prices for new used rental and electronic versions of that book.
Great app

So easy and I like scanning my textbook’s barcode to make sure I have the right books. Saved a bunch of money, too!
I don’t care for the app, like the website

It will not allow me to log in on the app, it also would not let me register. I had to go online so the app was a waste.

I love this app. It's very handy. I think that it needs a way to organize the books in your collection that way you can find things more easily. That and a way to go from one detail page to another without backtracking. Other than that I really haven't seen much wrong with it at all yet.

Love the ability to be able to scan snook. Ican use it to track the books we have in our house or to scan books I want to buy from the bookstore.
Saved $55!

I used this app to buy my Biology books for this semester. The bookstore wanted $180 for the book, and I got it off iBookstore for $125. This app is so cool. I bet campus bookstores will be banning it by next fall.
Great ap, but
Bookstore clerk
I love this app! It is a great resource for me working in a university bookstore and as a university student! I do a lot of research for the textbooks we use every semester. The only thing I wish this app had is a short synopsis of the book. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic!

Love the app, scanner is easy to use. Almost every scan I did came up quickly and correctly, the ones that didn't, came up right typing in the isbn. Would like to see facebook connectivity so I can share my collection, post my wishlist or even make book suggestions to my friends.

I really like it. The only adders I would make is to include a space for notes and methods of searching/sorting wishlist/collection. Currently, they're only organized by time of save.
