WARNING
Be careful with their “7-day free trial.” The moment you click start my free week, your credit card gets charged immediately.
This happened to me twice with this business, so it clearly isn’t a real free trial as advertised. Very misleading. I would recommend avoiding this app at all costs unless you want unexpected charges.

Buggy as h*ll
Nonstop crashes and errors whenever i try to edit a search. Would be a great tool for me if it worked
Can’t even make an account 🤦
Tried making an account with my number but wasn’t getting the code then clicked the bottom option to sign up with email but wasn’t doing anything like the button doesn’t even work. Then I started over and tried to reverse engineer my way in by clicking sign in with an email, now it allowed me to create the account but again I faced an error saying to update to the latest version but I was alr on the latest version.
Scam
WAY too expensive and not helpful might as well just scroll marketplace yourself and save the money
Junk - doesn’t work
Extremely overpriced and does not show ads quickly at all. Pure junk. Marketplace notifications at least 30 minutes delayed. OfferUp didn’t even work a single time.
Not as fast as claimed
Tried their free trial and put it to the test by listing items myself and timing how long it took to get alerts once the posts went live. One hit within 1 minute, but almost every single other one was over 5 minutes, and with 2 never even showing up.
Definitely don’t recommend based on my free trial.

Exorbitant Subscription fees
$88/week… wow. You get 2 hours free. Also, it’s not as easy as one would think. You have to do a search criteria for each platform, FB, CL, etc. So it would take 2 hours to set it up, let alone get any notifications. Not recommended.
Difficult to cancel and too expensive
This app is okay, it has helped me a little, but expected more for how much it is. I’ve found more cars looking on Facebook myself(yes 10 mins or less of being posted) than this app. Also there has been hand full of times where I wasn’t notified on a great deal and luckily I was looking myself, otherwise I would’ve missed opportunities. I’ve tried to cancel my subscription and they won’t allow me too! I shouldn’t need a reason to cancel. I don’t want it no more, I want it canceled period!!! And it’s simply not worth the money! Don’t be lazy and do it yourself!
Ridiculously overpriced for poor quality
Overpriced, full of buggy features. The alerts are not as quick as advertised, misses items on the marketplace frequently. Even the cheapest plan ($47/mo) seems overpriced when a site like autotempest can find more results in a more accurate fashion.
Might make sense if you’re a large dealer and are using multiple tools like this but if you’re a small dealer or a small business maybe just save your money.
UPDATE TO RESPOND TO DEVELOPER:
What an incredibly tone deaf response.

You’re better off looking for things yourself
This is the worst app, lowest tier is $45 bucks, and it only allows you to look on facebook marketplace, I found way better deals than this app did. The only good thing is that they have a 7 day free trial, so you don’t waste your money, if the free trial ain’t worth it, the rest ain’t worth it.
Paid Version Doesn’t Deliver
⭐ 1 star
The trial version actually worked better than the paid plan. Once I subscribed, the quality of alerts dropped noticeably - and I’m not the only one who noticed that. Canceling was a hassle, and having a “Cancel and be poor” button is unprofessional and off-putting. Not worth $47/month.

Great Idea, Terrible Execution - Definitely Not Worth $352 a Month!
This app sounds like a game-changer-searching Facebook Marketplace and other platforms for car deals all in one place. But in reality? It’s a huge letdown. First off, it constantly misses cars, even when I set my exact search preferences. I found better deals just scrolling Facebook myself that the app completely overlooked.
It doesn’t update consistently, and the worst part? You can only search ONE marketplace at a time. For $352 a month, that’s insane. Anyone saying this is a good deal is out of their mind. The concept is top-tier, but the execution is straight-up garbage. If I’m dropping that kind of cash, I should be able to search multiple marketplaces at once, get real-time updates, and actually find the best deals. Right now, it’s not worth even a fraction of the price.

Trash
Trash overpriced
They lied
So I downloaded it on the premies that I would be able to get deals I set 3 searches and not one notification all week yet when I manually went into the apps I put in and searched I found exactly what I was looking for waste of time DON’T DOWNLOAD
Scam
They charge you almost $90 for just one week if you subscribe! Sounds like a scam to me.
Waste of $$$
Waste of money. Not worth it unless your a small time flipper.
Doesn’t work as its supposed to
I got the phone flipping membership and it hasn’t been working as its supposed to, first of all it shows me items that have no relation to the items that I have saved, second it shows me listings that above the price the I put in and lastly it shows me listings that are already sold, what’s the point of showing a listing that’s already sold, Highly not recommended to use this app. Save your money.
My searches keep getting deactivated
I paid for premium, go into the app and click active on my search, next time I go into the app it says it’s inactive so I’ve been missing notifications. I don’t know why it keeps deactivating itself without me saying to. I just paid for pro and this is happening.
Good but expensive asf
Yall gotta lower them prices yall charging monthly fees and yearly fees weekly makes no sense 😂❌what do you mean the cheapest plan is $40 a week
Overpriced
Too expensive
A huge list of scam/spam listings
The system does not filter out fake/scam listings effectively. there are more scam/spam car listings showing up than actual cars for sale. It is faster to look on marketplace manually.
Won’t let you cancel
Does the app work? Yes, but it’s not simple to cancel. The cancel button sends you to Facebook messenger where you get no response. I already had to report the app for not having a proper or clear cancellation procedure.
Could’ve Been a Great App, But the Pricing Ruins It
Swoopa honestly could’ve been a really good app - the idea is there, the layout isn’t bad, and it seems like it had some potential. But the problem is the pricing. They charge way too much money for an app that barely has a customer base yet. When you’re a brand-new platform, people just aren’t going to pay premium prices right off the bat, especially when there aren’t many users or proven results yet.
Not that good
The app is a great idea but for things like video games and collectibles its not good at all your best just finding then on your own the app only might be good for finding cars and thats it but dont even bother buying an expensive subscription
Fails to consistently work
First off it is pretty decent when it is working. But… it seems to work in just small bursts. My guess is that there is no true API for FB Marketplace thus they had to cobble something together to scrape the listings and it just is jot reliable - idk. Holding out hope cause this is a great concept!
Not worth it!
Not worth at all guys! You have to get the premium subscription to even get the Craigs list listing. Save ur money.
Slow notifications and missing listings.
I was so excited to find an app that could consistently scan the marketplace for me. As soon as I downloaded it, set up my account, and started the free trial, I was receiving so many notifications! It was perfect; there wasn't a single listing I was unaware of. When the free trial ended and I submitted my payment, the notifications and the number of listings I received declined significantly. I now receive notifications for maybe a quarter of the listings posted on the marketplace. For the few listings I do get notified about, it has taken up to three hours to receive them.
Slow alerts and unrelated listings
The app promises you 1-3 minute alerts, but some of the alerts I have set for that increment take upwards of 15 minutes after the listing was posted to alert me. At that point I’ve already missed out on a great deal, which has happened multiple times now.
I also get spammed with unrelated listings that have a word related to my search query. I would narrow the search down using the advanced settings but they fail to persist on my saved search. I wanted to avoid programming my own solution, but I might have to at this point.
On the bright side, I guess it’s still better than in house Facebook alerts…
