Love it!

i have tried 3 of these apps, and i uninstalled the other 2. this one does what i need it to. it can refresh every 10 seconds, it can make a sound and bring you to that tab when the page is different, if anything changes. and you can set specific words you choose, and if they are in the url, it will stop refreshing, or the the tab is active. anyway, it is perfect for what i need. the other top 2 apps in the category didnt have these features. the 4.8 star one had tons of features that i couldnt get to work, and they wouldnt have worked as well as this with the feature of if anything changes. i love that conditional action.
