Oasis tickets

Looking for the recommended time to refresh the tabs to have a chance on see tickets and gigs and tours, would appreciate a response since I gave you 5 stars ;)

Got me through twice

Great app. Got me through to a sell out event twice.

Great app

Used on seetickets site recently, was stuck on the holding page. Kept refreshing until I got thorough, great app.

Didn’t work

Didn’t work for Glastonbury tickets. Save your money

Don’t buy it. The app does not work.

It does not work. Search words do not work. Auto refresh does not work. Search word input gives ‘Search Invalid’ ‘The search word or phrase appear.’ > I was using the word holding.

Very very good

An excellent app that’s not over-complicated. All it needs is a porter service to find your camping spot!

Update is worse

Latest update is so bad, my browser keeps refreshing eratically not at is preset times! Still no bookmark in the browser which means I have to copy and paste it across all the time and when I paste in the address instead of going straight to website (as before) I get taken to a Google search page, then I have to agree to Google terms and then choose address! Also PLEASE have it work in the background, I cannot have it open 24/7 or in my pocket open as I move around without knocking it off the page, summarising it needs to be more useful for others that don’t use it for tickets, I use mine for shift work for example which I need to watch all day long!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback, and we apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with our app. We understand that having to repeatedly sign in to Google disrupts your workflow, and we take this concern seriously. Regarding the "Enable private browsing" setting causing frequent Google sign-ins, we are looking into this as a priority. It appears that private browsing is enabled, and we recommend disabling "Enable private browsing" in the advanced settings. This change should help avoid repetitive Google sign-in issues and allow sites to persist longer. As for the refreshing behavior, we always strive for consistency and reliability in our app's performance. If there are specific scenarios where this is not the case, we're eager to understand more so we can address it directly. We also acknowledge the need for a bookmark feature and are actively exploring how to implement this in a future update. Your suggestions for app improvements are invaluable, and we're committed to enhancing features to support various use cases, like shift work monitoring. We apologize for any frustration caused by the limitations with background monitoring. As per Apple's iOS guidelines, apps are restricted in their ability to operate a browser in the background to conserve battery life and maintain system performance. Unfortunately, this means that our app, like all others, cannot provide continuous background monitoring. There are some websites that do offer page watching, the refresh rate tends to be restricted to a few times a day but they can be useful. We're here to support your needs and ensure Refreshinator serves you effectively. Your continued feedback is crucial to our ongoing development, and we're grateful for the opportunity to make things right. Please stay tuned for our updates and reach out if you have any more concerns or suggestions at appstoreinfo@batlaboratories.com

Not worth while

I tried it for Glastonbury tickets, you can only refresh one page at a time so really not worth it, my friends all did it themselves. This app would be rockstar if you could get multiple tabs going

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and for trying Refreshinator during the Glastonbury ticket sale. We wanted to share some exciting news that might enhance your experience for future events: our latest update includes a Multi-Tab Refresh feature. This allows you to monitor multiple pages simultaneously, each with independent refresh settings. To use this feature, make sure you have updated to the latest version 3.0.0 of Refreshinator. Once updated, you can open multiple tabs within the app, set them with the keywords or phrases for the pages you wish to monitor, and even duplicate these tabs for consistent monitoring across several views. We hope this feature will provide the added functionality you're looking for and give you that 'rockstar' experience during high-demand sales. For any further assistance or questions on how to make the most of the app, please feel free to reach out to us.

Always worth a try…

Having never achieved success getting Glastonbury tickets, this app got me through to the last stage of coach tickets and crashed out but then luckily got me general sale tickets! God bless this app

Worked

After years and years of trying for glasto tickets. This app came through and me and my friends secured tickets for 2023. So happy and grateful for this app! Thank you! :)

Doing it’s job but needs improvements

Very good app, has the job done, but would quickly heat up the phone and drains the battery extremely fast

Doesn’t work

Doesn’t work.

Ocado success!

Tried the Refreshinator tonight to get onto the Ocado website, which has had a huge queue and a wait time of 15 minutes, managed to get through the queue in under 2 minutes and place my order. I had another browser open and it took a lot longer to load and to get through to the site.

Awful. Don’t waste your money!!!

Ruined my chances of getting a ticket for a big festival. Rubbish. Don’t bother using. Much better to do things manually.

Not sure?

Didn’t work on the ‘word disappear’ function for tickets yesterday. Any advice for Sunday?

Glitchy

Can’t paste url
Only works for about twenty minutes
Freezes

Does not work

Constant getting error “cannot refresh”.

Response from developer

Hi, sorry to see you had an issue, the error does not effect the refresh. It’s an odd error response from the Glastonbury holding page, when working normally. We will change the message in an update.

This app failed miserably!

The app could not detect words on the Glastonbury webpage, this rendered the ‘word disappear’ mode pointless. And in the ‘word appear’ mode, I kept getting an loading errors.
So the app was just useless as it was unable to refresh (you had one job!), DO NOT BUY!

Response from developer

Apologies for the error, it was strangely from the site, when the page loads correctly. We will try and change that feedback message ASAP. As for getting it to work, there’s is a video on our Facebook page showing “word appear” and the phrase “registration”. Unfortunately Word disappear did not work on Thursday as the text was obfuscated.

Worked perfectly in resale

i used this in the 2018 resale, got through in a few minutes.

Only way I got on the site

I had 3 browsers up, was a total nightmare. But suddenly my phone beeped in the background and I was on. Annoying the site was so slow I amlost did not get through, but 2 of my friends said it was the same on a browser. The purchase page was just taking 10 minuites to submit. Anyway it worked, but there is still a lot of luck involved.
