User reviews
Lacks the ability to select specific elements for tracking, and the process for checking pages often crashes, resulting in errors when reopening the app.

The app is supposed to detect changes on a website. However, it only notifies me when content is removed, and fails to alert me when new content is added. This significantly reduces its usefulness, as I need to be informed about all changes, not just deletions.

All Good - Excellent App... Can you make your app monitor for files that were not on the website when the app was first run... Or if a hak occures then the hacker might put files you don't know about on your www folder .. those files can then be accessed by ppl... Can you monitor for a folder change of an additional file or a file change?
