Well done! ### 3/5 — Works ok *2026-03-15, version 2.5.6* Does not work as advertised. After the trial I felt as if I was getting good enough results to sign up and paid the subscription. Since then, I have been manually checking alongside using the app and there are multiple new listings which are not being detected. Played around with the locations, key words etc with no success. This app would be ok if you aren’t in need of consistent and regular listing updates but I wouldn’t rely solely on it ### 1/5 — Complete Joke *2026-02-26* “Instant alerts!” *they appear 50mins - 4hrs late. Never ever ever pay for this app. What a joke. **Developer response:** Hi there, we understand delays can be frustrating. As explained in the app and our FAQ, we can only notify you once a listing becomes publicly searchable on Facebook. Sellers often post items well before Facebook makes them appear in search due to review and caching. We mirror Facebook’s search results exactly, if it’s not visible there yet, it’s not visible to us. The time shown reflects when the seller created the listing, not when it became searchable, which is usually where the confusion comes from. Feel free to reach us at contact@scoutnotify.com with any other questions or concerns. ### 1/5 — Not accurate, needs more features *2026-02-13, version 2.4.6* This does not give you actual instant most recent listings. When I type in the prompt it shows most things 15 hours old. Swoopa is way better at this point ### 5/5 — BEST ALERT APP I'VE USED *2026-02-04, version 2.4.5* I started using this around 12 or so ago and since then I have found 7 deals that I am very happy with that came to my attention from the scout app. What other app will give you 5 instant searches and 55 hourly searches and for the low low price of $20 a month is astonishing. One thing that I would like to add or change is to let us change the miles distance on the items because I want to choose 20 but it doesn't give me the option. That's my only issue with the app, but aside from that where can you find an app that gives you 5 instant searches and 55 hourly searches. Great app but I would like the mileage option to be adjusted. ### 5/5 — Best Scouting app ever *2026-02-02, version 2.4.5* I have tried many marketplace search apps in the apple store. This one is the best, it is simple, easy to use interface and very competitively priced. Thank you so much for developing such an intuitive app, you have added so much value in my sourcing time. I would recommend giving this app a try, support the developer so we can keep this app going! ### 1/5 — Looks like free but it not! *2026-01-29, version 1.4.10* Works only with the Subscription lol ## Frequently asked questions about Scout for Facebook Marketplace ### What does this app do?
