app does not work to log in for auto buys biggest feature. Tech support is generic script. applied for Google refund.
it really only worked one time. but now anytime I search something it wants me to buy a premium before I do anything else
canceled my subscription and deleted the app. the company has decided to still change me for 4 consecutive months. also the auto buy never worked. scam.
app worked well back in 2023, attempted to use it again and every other click is an error. cant even click alert me because it will say notifications are disabled in settings (they arnt) definitely dont recommend using now, best bet is looking online for a similar app or service. buying premium does not fix the "issues" either so dont waste your money
Everytime I search for a product, a pop up shows up asking me to pay for Premium. Every single time I search anything. Pointless app.
Doesn't alert you
Paid $11 for autobuy and it simply does not work. I keep the app open as suggested and it doesn't even attempt to make a purchase when the item I want comes in stock. In fact, I can manually add product to cart on another device before autobuy even activates. It's a sham really. Don't waste your money.
TRASH! UNINSTALLED & I just installed it, haven't even been on it for 1 minute. I downloaded this for notifications on Horizon Forbidden West complete edition on PS5 & it went on sale at PS Direct & was unavailable quickly, I type it in the search results & everything but this game pops up, even stuff that has nothing to do with it, from other gaming accessories like PC stuff & dolls or whatever they are. checked all the search results, app is useless.
Finally able to get subscribe but app keeps signing out of my Amazon account, sometimes several times a day, so doesn't matter if I get a heads up or not. I emailed them about it and they gave me some basic things I could try, that I already tried, still doesn't work so they simply stopped responding.
If you don't pay for a subscription then good luck getting anything. This app is a scam, don't download it.
everythingnit says the site does it doesn't fell like I've been scammed take this off playtime its a scam none of the feature work as they say and didnt get one thing the app never does auto check even though I set it up and sends me notifications even when items aren't in my price range that was preset I fell I deserve a refund for false advertisement
I purchased the premium package with autobuy. doesn't work complete waste of $10 a month
paid the subscription, and notifications never worked after setting it up. I missed a legion go 2 on Costco overnight thanks to this. Never again.
subbed to the autobuy option and it has yet to get anything. honestly, while I was using the free option it atleast sent me notifications when items were back in stock. it doesn't even do that anymore with the paid option. total bust and waste of money.
worthless app. Paid for the premium notifications. it takes me to a page that says sold out. by the time I refresh the item is gone. Don't waste your money
This app is literally a SCAM in Canada. The alerts do not work for major Canadian sites. I paid $16 for this incomplete beta trash software. I entered a ticket two weeks ago asking for a refund immediately after subscribing to their defunct and improperly represented service, and their support team hasn't even answered the ticket. Do Not Purchase!!
New to this app. I signed up but can't I can't even search for a product in the search bar. the page for subscription constantly overrides search results, making it unusable.
scam doesn't help. all it is basically there bot buys every and it's a scam that u have to pay for the bot. probably is just bots in the chat lying and saying that they got it with the bot just to scam people into buying there bots .they shouldn't even allow these bots to buy everything things.
This app is a joke. They will delay your alerts unless you upgrade to the premium monthly subscription.
does not showing accurate items that im looking for. i put something and it shows me something else and not related to any known retailers in my area.
Doesn't let you search anything. Instead, it attempts to force you to pay for their monthly memberships for extra features, but no way of skipping this.
Can't create a new account and they need to retest their app for functionality!
The app is having a weird glitch that it's not registering when I touch the screen to open the menus. When you first open it works fine for one area you touch but anything after that even if you try to open something, nothing happens it's like it loses the ability to sense when you touch your screen to open aything.
paid the monthly fee for restock alerts and auto buy option. I never received any restock alerts and it never attempted to autobuy. I went through the setup process and logged in to apps to make sure it was working correctly. I would recommend trying a different app.
Changed review from 5 star to 2 star because it is now trying to force me into buying a paid plan. Did it go paid only?
impossible to remove test notification!!!
It's fine for alerts, paying for autobuy is worthless. I've never had auto buy work properly, and when it does buy something, it's the wrong item, which has already cost me extra money buying something I can't cancel/return, that wasn't even on the list to buy. Using the alerts, I've been able to buy several things on Best Buy I've been looking for, but the auto buy failed each time to buy them, even though it claimed it was setup correctly. So for me, subscribing just cost me money.
