| 2024-08-28 |  | | To slow! It used to check sites much faster. I purchased the upgraded version. It used to go through my list in 10-18 minutes. Now it's 45-110 minutes. At the end of the list, instead of immediately starting over, it will sit for a few minutes. Also, at the end of the list, it will be down to checking one site. The other 4 in use should go back and restart at the top of the list. I'm not sure what changed. |
| 2024-07-29 |  | | Edit: I found the pro version for $10 and paid the author some cash, happy to support, he saved me tons of money. Once you get used to the UI, it's amazing. I watched a Best buy product that I had purchased and was able to get a lower price because I called immediately when they lowered the price and did a price match 🙂 so, paid for the $0 that I paid for this app right away 🙂 |
| 2024-05-09 |  | | I LOVE it but i have a few suggestions. One. Please make folders so we can catgorise our alerts. Two, if its possible , perhaps make html chsnge alerts , like when phtos are uploaded and changed or pages are added etc. Three prompt to name the pages after saving so we dont have to go back anf hit edit to custom name our saves but can do it right when we save it |
| 2024-02-25 |  | | Nice app overall. It'd be nice for there to be an option to only run check if phone is charging/charged. Similar to check frequency, there could be a default global option that's overridable per check. Should have option to disable caching for all checks. Nice feature would be to fine tune metered connection handling so that this could be set on a per alert and not per app. |
| 2023-11-25 |  | | Awesome app but is there a way to blacklist changes and make multiple individual selections? I have an issue with a specific link for a product that at random times redirects to the Websites homepage and Web Alert detects this redirect as a 99.9% change and usually after another scan reverts to the original link that was meant to be scanned(a blacklist option would be useful here). |
| 2023-07-16 |  | | The promise of the app is to work with pages that require login as well. However unfortunately it really does not, especially with social media platforms. The app browser somehow fails to stay logged on. Either there is a new log-on every single time the app tries to check a page, or you have to log on again once every hour or so. This unfortunately made the app entirely unusable for me. |
| 2023-06-06 |  | | I LOVE THIS APP. I lost my chance to pre-order a particular item I wanted very badly, but there was a chance they might open it up for a few more pre-orders at a random date. Sure enough after 2 months of this app running in the background without any noticable battery drain, it alerts me tonight and I got the the item. You guys rock. Edit: what do you know, the item instantly is out of stock again a few minutes after going up. I truly wouldn't have had a chance without this! 🙏 |
| 2022-12-30 |  | | Works great. Simple intuitive interface that just works! No fancy bullsh*t.... Decent amount of settings that are easy to understand. 1. Enter the website you want to track 2. Select the region of the page you want to monitor You can set how often the app checks the desired website for changes. *the app will advise you to lock the app so android doesn't automatically close it so it can run in the background in order to keep monitoring the desired website. |
| 2022-10-31 |  | | Stopped working. I don't get it. I installed it and set up a few alerts and it worked fine (manual & automatic). A couple of hours later, it appears that the alerts I set up are dimmed and I can't get them to run manually or automatically. And no matter what I try I can't uncheck the "Checks during Standby" box. When I try it just takes me to a list of battery optimized apps. I've tried every setting, and cannot get it to update any of the alerts on the list. I liked it when it worked. |
| 2022-09-29 |  | | Unfortunately the app does not notify you when a website is unreachable/offline. It only sends a notification to your phone if there are changes to the content of a page. If only the app would be updated to offer the option of notification when it goes offline, I'd change the rating to 5 stars. Unfortunately this limitation makes it unusable for my purpose. |
