Free trial error

Doesn’t work as advertised..
Tried premium search with $50 subscription. It doesn’t show more than half of the listings that clearly have exact match. The rest listings show up in at least 10 minutes, sometimes in an hour instead of 1 minute as they say in the settings.
Location is also off. Despite that I set larger radius it only shows listings in the exact city of zip code, not even the smallest radius…

I really want it to work well but it doesn’t.
If this app did as it claimed it would be awesome. Sadly it does not deliver. I’ve been closely monitoring it for a couple days now. It has missed half the items it was supposed to find and when it did find a listing, it wasn’t any faster than the alert I got from Facebook marketplace.
Stole my money
I don’t even think this service/app is still active.
I set everything up, and it just could not stay open. I got alerts literally days late and then got CHARGED even after I cancelled.
Absolutely ridiculous

App does not work at all.
Developer does not answer.
Figured I would try this since it offered a free 7-day trial. Well, it wasn't even worth that. Right away, I could not set my preference location and the developer had to manually create a search for me.
Worked for about 10 hours until it stopped alerting. The developer then put out a location bug fix update and it still does not work.
Also, not even receiving alerts anymore. This is not even worth the free trial. Update, 12/26, developer offered an extended free trial, never answered me back.

Terrible results!
The app is useless! I tried to search for Steinway pianos under Music Instruments with a 40 miles radius and the result came back with a Casio piano.
Complete fraud do not use them!
I would give them zero stars and they should all be in prison. They are charging my credit card $15 even though I canceled the before the free trial ended, and deleted the account on this poorly made app. I’m surprised Apple has let these fraudsters operate on their ecosystem. Usually this happens only with android apps. Beware!
Waste of money
This app sucks it never sends me good deals and If they look like good deals it’s always messed up
Premium alerts aren’t instant
I tested this alongside Swoopa. Swoopa’s 5 min alerts aren’t the same as Flipify’s “1 min alerts”. Sometimes Flipify alerts aren’t 30 seconds faster, other times Swoopa is faster. I don’t believe premium alerts are 1 min at all. Still won’t give it 1-star though because the app at least alerts you.
