## Review summary

Auto Refresh 5 delivers solid refresh and target-word monitoring capabilities and persistent settings, and is worth it for some users. However, widespread crashes, lack of background/multi-page support, unreliable alerts, and buggy updates significantly limit reliability and usability for many customers.

### Pros

- Reliable page refresh/reload functionality when it works as intended.
- Effective target word finder and alert capability for monitoring changes.
- Bookmarks and preferences persist across crashes, easing reuse.
- Good overall value / worth the price for those who rely on it.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezing across versions and iOS updates, making the app often unusable.
- No background operation and single-page reload limitation (cannot run alongside Safari or reload multiple pages).
- Notifications and audible alerts often do not function, requiring manual app use to detect changes.
- Updates can introduce bugs and remove or degrade useful features (e.g., copy-paste URL issues, target finder).
- Target word finder can be nonfunctional or inconsistent in some cases.
