This program is a train wreck. Cannot effectively block sellers. Bad. Very bad!
Too slow. High priority and regular priority are too slow, by the time I get a notification, the item has been posted for several minutes and someone already bought it. Wish there was a better alternative. Author is lying, recent updates have not improved they've only made things worse and more complicated to do the same things.
Set to UK and pounds, results show US site and dollars. This was for new searches, I had none saved.
Cannot choose a specific seller in the search.. App can only exclude sellers..
It was working great and now you have updated and broken it... Please fix!
Not submitting search criteria just loads continuously never submits.
No point for the app.
Can't search used/pre-owned, so it's useless for me. :/ At least it's a small app.
now when i try and add a new search the app just shuts down. very frustrating. please sort this out asap or its useless to me and obviously im going to unsubscribe
Buggy, terrible. Search is down right now
Does not run and keeps crashing.
Doesn't send you notifications, which is its entire purpose. Edit: developer has offered their email for support but doesn't reply when I send one 🤦♂️
Stinks and just does that
Didn't work.
Had it installed for a month. It did one search and never updated again. Didn't even notify me of the search results. Uninstalled.
Waste of space
Disappointing. Doesn't let me search World Wide. No reason for the app. Don't waste your time. Uninstalled within a minute. You're better off with the eBay app, more options. The developer replied. Read it in the email, but I don't see the post. FYI, I checked the settings. Couldn't set to world wide. Yes I had advance set. Maybe the subscription version let's you, not the free version.
I am disappointed about it. I have selected a currency, a price range for a specific product...and it was showing me results in Usd currency (not in £ like I was choosing) and most of the results were out of my price range.
Misses the vast majority of listings: a pity as it could be really useful
if it worked
if it worked
First I need to see
I can not do nothing
Can't search by location nearest or radius?
The old version was much better, pay as you go credits, why do I need to pay monthly for the odd item? Really disappointing changes
A classic example of a simple hard working app completely ruined by recent updates. Notifications appear delayed by hours if not days and their low frequency compared to before indicate to me that my searches cannot be working properly. Prices still in dollars even when sterling and UK marketplace selected. Nonsense active hours start time that only allows 12 hours to be set. Was good while it lasted but now uninstalling as no longer useful or reliable.
The new version is horrible!!! So inconvenient! Bring back the old version!
It used to work. I uninstalled it a few months ago and just re-installed it. Now it glitches out. Add an item and you just get a white screen for a moment and then back to the add item screen, nothing is added. Doesn't work.
I thought I could import my eBay wish list. Not what I was looking for.
I had it for about 3 days it was working pretty good for my Samsung, it was beating my son's Baywatch for his iPhone then I messed with the preset time it searches Ebay & seemed to screw things up. I uninstalled & reinstalled but just can't seem to get it to work as good as it did the first 3 days. Been to Ebay & lost more things that sold within the first few minutes and never got a single notification from eFarret... was really hoping this was going to be the answer but appears not...
Pretty hopeless. Misses loads of items. Less than helpful
Thanks for your efforts. Old match results history stay even after clicking on it, would be nice if we can delete items or they change colour. So it is clear which items are the new search results. Otherwise there is a lot of scrolling to do. Even with items marked as 3/week. Edit: it is now showing results of items from US and in dollars. Despite having GBP and UK selected :(
