However, it absolutely does not send out any notifications of price changes. ### 3/5 — It’s a nice start *2023-03-27* The app is great on how you can bookmark items you want, but it never notifies me of when a price drops. I have to go in to the app, pull the screen down to refresh the watchlist. If an item dropped in price only THEN does it shoot me a banner notification lol ### 3/5 — Add Canada as well *2020-10-25, version 1.5.1* Can’t add items from Best Buy Canada ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-09-23* Takes a very long time to display the Best Buy page. Tools even longer to Search for an item. No “add to watch list” button was ever available. Nice idea but doesn’t work at all on my 17 Pro Max. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2023-02-22* Perhaps i am using the app wrong. I set items at Best Buy that i wish to monitor on a watch list. I choose to be notified on Price Change. I leave the app running in the background on my phone. Weeks later i have received no notifications, but if i pull down on my list in the app to force a Refresh, i suddenly get alerts on items as prices have changed. If i have to manually refresh the list constantly, why wouldn’t i just look at the website and see the price. If the app isn’t going to constantly check and automatically tell me when a price changes, then I don’t see the value in this service. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2022-12-24* Has some basic functionality but almost unusable. ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2021-04-29, version 1.5.4* can’t add items ### 1/5 — Worthless *2020-11-15* It’s not working. I put PC on list and that program didn’t show any price changes. I disappointed 😞 ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-10-15, version 1.4.4* Can’t add items. ### 1/5 — Only works for US Best Buy *2020-10-06, version 1.4.4* I can only add to watchlist if Best Buy US but not Canada ### 1/5 — Useless app! *2020-06-25* Best Buy doesn’t honor this app and the price its listing. ### 1/5 — Unable to add anything to watch list *2020-02-02, version 1.2.7* This app does not work.... ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-12-09* I added a HomePod to my list for a Best Buy price watch. It is on sale right now and this app is showing it at its normal price. Pretty pointless for an app that is supposed to notify you of price changes. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Question *2021-03-26* Do we need to keep the app open for it to work? Or can I set my alert, close the app, and be good? ### 5/5 — Really good *2020-11-23* I was able to keep track of certain things like games and such. I was also able to see deals for many things in different price ranges. ### 5/5 — Very good *2020-11-21* Was able to see deals on some products I was searching for. Highly recommend this app. Shopping made easy. ### 5/5 — Maeen Mawari *2020-08-04* Excellent App and highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Love the new update!! *2020-06-27* The new deals section saved me so much money, it’s amazing!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-29* I use this app especially before sales seasons ### 5/5 — Helpful *2019-08-02* Amazing app ### 5/5 — Highly recommend! *2019-02-01* Awesome app! Very convenient, nice to not have to constantly recheck items waiting for prices to drop. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2019-01-22* Easy to use and very helpful. ### 5/5 — Ahmed Nagi *2019-01-14* Great app and easy to use. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
