### 1/5 — App is malfunctioning

*2026-05-04, version 2.4*

I think the app needs to fix bugs because it keep force stopping

### 2/5 — Need updates

*2025-10-29*

Apps crashing continues every 2 minutes

### 3/5 — App doesn’t keep up browser changes

*2025-07-21*

The app was doing just fine for almost a year, when the page I was refreshing upgraded their platform. Since the refresh app doesn’t actually work on Safari it was no longer supporting the site I was monitoring. 
Otherwise this app does what it says and it was worth paying a little to not have ads.

### 5/5 — Just works, no fluff

*2025-06-16*

This is exactly what I needed and it worked perfectly. The ads are not obtrusive and just hang out at the bottom. Thanks

### 3/5 — Paying the one-time fee does not make it ad-free

*2024-09-07*

Paying the one-time fee does not make it ad-free as claimed, and the feedback window does not allow sending, only drafting, canceling, or deleting the draft!

### 2/5 — Worked great till recently

*2024-07-29*

This app worked Awsome untill like a a little bit ago now it refreshes and crashes deff needs a fix has a bug does it for all my friends who use it also

### 5/5 — Mettre un son

*2023-05-31, version 2.4*

Peut-on mettre un son dès le moment ou il y a un changement sur la page qu’on reactualise ?

### 4/5 — Zoom in

*2023-04-08*

I wish I could zoom in to make my websites that I’m reloading larger.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy the $9.99 no-ad version, you can’t use it on your other Apple devices

*2023-01-13*

I have the $9.99 version on my iPhone, and I wanted to use it on my iPad Mini. 

Problem - that version did not download from the iApple App Store even though it’s got the usual little cloud an arrow indicating I already have it. The $9.99 version should have download to my iPad because all my devices are on the same family plan. So remember the premium version of the app can’t be used on other Apple devices on your own account without buying the premium version of the app for each of your Apple devices.

### 1/5 — Would let me initially log in to website

*2022-10-24*

I downloaded the app & entered the URL information for the site I wanted to auto-refresh. When I opened the site in the app was presented with the site’s logon page, but after entering my credentials, the logon button would not work within the app. So one star.
