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.

Ripoff

In today’s world, as difficult as it is to buy certain items, having an app like this is very helpful. However, I find that this version is a serious miss on the developer’s part.

First of all it is buggy. In the advanced area, push notification are not working.

More importantly, the cost is absolutely ridiculous for the return on investment. For most, a small amount would make this a subscription we could all live with. At 15 or even 35, once we’ve purchased the item we want, we will no longer use the product and cancel.

Secondly, at those prices you would think the app would offer serviceable intervals of checking. Do you really think that I can pick up a hard to find item with a five minute interval ??? And this is after paying $35/month for it?

$15/month gives you a minimum 10 minute interval? Talk about trying to load up your money right away. This app is written by someone who is worried about money now, not keeping customers for a long time. And, I find it a shame because the chrome extension was amazing.

Response from developer

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. You can run local monitors every 5 seconds with unlimited checks. This is the fastest way to get notifications on your phone. Cloud monitors offer you a way to run monitors 24x7 in the could. We offer 10m and 5m check interval with a generous amount of checks. If you didn't get push notifications, it usually means that either a change was not detected or a condition was added that didn't match anything. Send us an email to support@distill.io and we will glad to help. Thank you!

Neutered and lame

An instant delete

Terrible App

The in-app browsing can’t even pull a page up to monitor it. Waste of money

Pointless

The app does nothing it’s garbage just get the chrome extension.

Login Doesn’t Work

Sign In using Apple doesn’t even function...but they want money from me....

Go try the chrome extension first!

For those that are complaining about not being able to try it out first, it’s primarily a chrome extension. Go download it there and see if you like it for free. This app is just a handy tool do you have with you.

Overpriced

I wouldn’t buy this even if it did offer a free trial. This app is seriously overpriced.

$15 / month? Seriously... this has to be far above the costs of your infrastructure.

Garbage

I’m not paying for a subscription before even finding out how your app works.
