  • Paid app not free as stated.

    I’m sure it works but isn’t as advertised

    Developer Response

    We state that this is a paid app in our description. But the App Store displays it as an app with in app purchases. This causes confusion that the app is free. We are in touch with Apple to see if it is possible to not show it as Free in the App Store to see if we can make it clearer.
  • Paid account, but I can track on the go

    These guys have made an awesome app that allows you to do some amazing stuff at a user beginning level.

    The app is great!

    Thank you! We are only getting started and have a few rough edges. We hope that it will be much better and amazing in a few months.
  • I’ve used it for years it’s great

    You need to use the chrome extension first, but this is a great app to track what it’s doing and reports

    Thank you so much for the feedback. Happy Distilling! :)
  • Worthless

    This app is completely unusable. Continuous error messages and coincidentally (or perhaps not) my internet was DDoS’d twice in the ~30 minutes that I had the app open and running. This is the only time I’ve had internet issues in the 16 months I’ve lived at my current location.

    Hey, it is not possible for the iOS app to cause any kind of DDOS. It doesn't make any sense. Are you running a game server that are usually prone to DDOS attacks? If you have any questions or need any help, feel free to send an email to support. Thanks.
  • Not free

    Requires subscription
  • Free plan not supported on this device

    Looks useful but would rather try it before paying. On launching the app and signing up it shows a message “Free plan not supported on this device” and app is unusable.

    Hello, you can use the browser extension for free to see how monitoring works. The app only a client that lets you get updates on your phone.
  • Can’t use any features

    Can’t use any features without paying, so why not just charge for the app rather than leading people to believe there are free features?

    Developer Response

    Hello, we mention in our description that it is for paid customers of distill.io. That being said, you can use the browser extension for free to see how monitoring works. The app only a client that lets you get updates on your phone.
  • App does NOT work

    I have the google chrome extension and that works well. I use it to let me know when new products become available for sale. I paid $15 for a month of using this app and it never worked for me... it wouldn’t run off the cloud server or give me any alerts. It only worked if I had distill running on my MacBook as well. I really wanted something that would be able to run in the background and send push notifications to my phone. Waste of money.

    The iOS app is a client that lets you view updates and get alerts on phone. Using local monitors along with the app is a great way to get notifications on the move. Cloud monitors usually work for most site. Some sites may need the use of profiles to monitor authenticated pages or proxy if you get blocked. Do email us at support@distill.io if you need help with setup.
  • Works perfectly as described

    Got a sound, notification, and text right when it noticed a change. Functions perfectly as far as I can tell.
  • Free version is better

    Lowest interval on phone is 10 minutes which is worthless compared to free desktop/laptop browser plugin which is 30 seconds.
