User reviews

HotStock is praised for its timely stock alerts and ability to help users secure high-demand items at retail prices, often combating scalpers effectively. The app features an easy-to-use interface and good customer support. However, the autobuy feature on Android has limitations requiring the phone screen to stay awake and sometimes failing to complete purchases automatically, frustrating users. Additionally, the app displays many ads and frequent subscription upgrade prompts, impacting user experience negatively. Despite cons, many find the premium subscription worthwhile for accessing advanced features.

Was able to get a PNY 5080 from Walmart thinks to this app! Notifications come it very fast if you set it up correctly. There are some battery setting changes you need to make to get the best performance, it's explained in the app, in your "my alerts" section how to get fast notifications. I did pay for the subscription, very worth it in my opinion. I attempted the auto buy feature for best buy, but they just sold out so fast it wasn't feasible.

Autobuy sucks. Alerts are amazing. It took me 3 weeks of failed attempts to get my item, but i did finally get it. Autobuy isn't very compatible with an android because you can't keep your screen awake more than 10 minutes. It's a dumb setup to require that for it to work. It's also not really "autobuy" when you're still required to checkout manually. I recommend this app for the alerts and the customer service was exceptional, but i dont recommend the autobuy.
