| 2024-06-08 |  | | Absolutely worth the money. Although it's not a cloud service and it utilizes a browser in the background on your device I find it to be so much more robust than other competitors. Excellent app and so happy I found it. It definitely will use more battery than a cloud-based application but the fact that the dev offers The app for free without ads was enough for me to actually purchase the pro version as a thank you with even more robust checking times! |
| 2024-05-19 |  | | Works.. mostly.. sometimes it just decided to not scan for updates? Even though the setting are all there.. it'll be an hour later without scanning. Even if you have it set to every minute. It just falls asleep.. especially in the evening? No clue.. no setting change it.. evenings and sometimes midday it just takes a two hour nap. |
| 2024-04-30 |  | | Astoundingly Good App. Well worth buying the Pro version. It really is a great tool for online shopping, you can see immediately when a product comes back in stock. My only niggle is that a slow loading webpage can trigger a false alert. It would be great if you could add a few seconds delay to the comparison to give the page time to load & get round this problem. |
| 2024-03-04 |  | | The app is well worth the price. However it would be nice to be able to select a different combination of element types to monitor. Current you can't select an element and then pick something else different and monitor change for both. That change for me would make it 5 stars |
| 2023-10-27 |  | | Free version is great. I paid for the Pro. It's an extraordinary app. Clear, understandable GUI. It may need some technical knowledge, but in my opinion the application is intended for weirdos who need something more than web browsing:) Pretty good help with examples for all options. |
| 2023-09-02 |  | | It used to work great. However, after an update it has more than quadrupled check times. It also doesn't check in order anymore. Even if you have simultaneous checks, it only checks one at a time on the sites it skips over. This has lead to check times increasing from 7-10 minutes uo to 35-50 minutes. Which makes it basically worthless. |
| 2022-08-11 |  | | Amazing app! Has so many options and capabilities under its belt. It's exactly what I need. REQUEST: One thing I would like is a delay option to add few seconds of delay before checking the content of the page. (i have a page that shows the numbers ~2 seconds after page loads) |
| 2022-03-23 |  | | I wanted to ask for a feature to copy and paste the whole monitoring item so that I can create new item with same filters and all but with different URL. E.g. If I have created a monitoring item to monitor price change in one Amazon product I should be able to create a new one from that existing one with just a URL change. Btw all is very unique and very useful 😘 |
| 2022-03-04 |  | | I bought the pro version and realized that I'm still getting notified even without the whitelisted keywords being found. The notifications only seem to be restricted to keywords if I enable "Do not save a version". This way however I have way too much to read up to find the keywords in the diff-view. Please double check the notifications are restricted to the keywords even without the "Do not save a version" checkbox. Thank you. |
| 2021-12-24 |  | | Apart from some websites which stop being found because it displays a captcha to check for bots and there's nothing you can do to bypass it, so it becomes useless, it is a good app which has allowed me to know when website changes have been made. Also on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, after a while, all the searches chane to "not found" and app crushes, I have changed the settings so the phone doesn't kill it but doesn't seem to work. |
