### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2026-02-17*

Easy to use, and help eliminate the headache of planning a vacation!!

### 5/5 — Utile

*2025-09-26*

M’a aidé, simple et utile

### 1/5 — Pay to use

*2025-06-22*

When downloading the apps it says if it’s a paid app. If not then it’s usually free. At least give a trial. I don’t want to pay for something that I don’t know if it’ll work.

**Developer response:** Hi there, there is actually a free trial for 7 days of the Basic plan.

Thank you for trying us out.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-06-05*

I’ve been using Airbnb for more than 10 years as a host and guest and since then have wanted the option to track my search. Glad someone finally built it. It’s simple but does the job, i was able to snipe a great last-minute monthly rental in NYC on a relatively short notice when it seems nothing good was available anymore

### 2/5 — Alert disappeared

*2025-06-02*

I set an alert on the app and wondered why I was never getting any alert. When I checked the app, my alert was no longer there.

**Developer response:** Hi Ryan, can you please email us at support@alertstays.com so we investigate? Thank you

### 5/5 — Time and money saver

*2025-05-09*

As an avid traveler and one always looking for a deal and the best value, this app is incredibly valuable to me. Easy to use and effective

### 5/5 — Great for digital nomads/entrepreneurs

*2025-04-30*

As an entrepreneur, price is very important to me. As a digital nomad, being able to stay in different location is important me. This app combines both qualities by helping me stay in places I want for a great price! Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Helped me find a long term rental

*2025-01-29*

This app is simple but does the job. Helped me find the best listing for my stay in Brasil. Way cheaper than average and 4.9 rating

### 1/5 — Poor UI / functionality

*2025-01-02*

After setting up and saving several alerts in the app, the alerts suddenly disappeared and no notifications were sent.

**Developer response:** EDIT: we found the root cause and published a fix starting version 1.8. New users shouldn't experience this issue anymore. Feel free to reach out so we fix your account. Thank you

Hi there, thank you for your comment. That is strange, can you please email us at support@alertstays.com so we look into it?
