Review summary

Users love the app's simple and beautiful interface, accurate change detection, and responsive developer support. However, multiple reviews mention the need for shorter refresh intervals (1-5 minutes), selective monitoring of specific webpage sections rather than the entire page, and improved notification settings to avoid spam or missed alerts. Some also report issues with monitoring dynamic sites or cookie acceptance, suggesting room for feature enhancements to improve usability and notification management.

Pros

Minimalistic and beautiful interface design appreciated by users.
App effectively detects changes on websites and notifies users.
Developer is responsive and supportive, providing good customer service.
The app is free and ad-free, which users value.
Easy to use and has accurate change detection functionality.

Cons

No option for very short sync intervals; many users want 1-5 minute checks but the shortest currently is 15 minutes.
Lack of ability to monitor only a specific part of a webpage; currently monitors entire page which can cause unwanted notifications.
Notifications can be overwhelming or not distinctive enough, causing users to miss important alerts or get false positives.
Some websites with cookies or dynamic content cause loading or monitoring issues, and app lacks features like cookie acceptance or regex filtering to handle them.

2023-07-18	Pa*****	Love this app don't have any complaints, minimal design and ui is just awesome, it will be great If* you can provide custom or 5 minutes change detection for more frequent detection, but app is still awesome 🙏

2021-09-20	Ca*****	Wish it had at least 5 min interval. Also, how does it notify you? A sound? Vibrates? There's no settings to set alerts. Beautiful interface just a bit lacking for now.

2021-05-22	Ro*****	Please update the sync interval to as low as 2-5min. Otherwise the monitor works really well, I wish there was more color variations and that it could load the updated site in the app rather than opening it in a separate browser.

2021-02-28	Ro*****	Good App, the only problem I have is that I keep missing the trigger notifications bacause the app does not provide a good and flexible way to deliver trigger notifications. In addition as a value-added to the App; It would really help if the App would allow you to select a trigger section on the website to fixate your triggers on; nevertheless, it does detect when any changes are done to the web page. Thanks

2021-02-26	ni*****	Great app and amazing developer! ... also I just sent an email requesting a lower interval check time option, and within minutes I had a personal response back explaining why there is not... until recently it was a pretty strict Android restriction to preserve battery, but he states that there have been some recent changes that make some workarounds possible, and he will get to that when he can. Most of us have many demands on our time, but I will be patient and look fwd to a future update.

2020-11-09	Er*****	Would not recommend, generates lots of notification spam that effectively amount to false positives. I want the app to stay silent unless a meaningful change had occurred. In reality, I notified all the time just to say it checked and no update was detected. Furthermore, there was no way I could see to restrict what's being compared. These seem like fixable shortcoming, but in its current incarnation, it's not usable.

2019-10-23	A *****	Does the job just fine, but shortest interval is 15 minutes. Not very useful.
