### 2/5 — Quiet Hours Ruins App

*2026-03-13*

Let me start with how much I used to love this app. It makes me sad to even write this review because this was previously one of the best apps out there and I would frequently subscribe to Pro during periods where I was shopping a lot more (typically for a few months around holidays) to support the developer. 

Unfortunately, the new update adds a new "quiet hours" feature that pauses alerts for 6 hours if you're not a Pro subscriber. That means for 6 hours a day you simply can't make use of the app without an active subscription. That's particularly troubling on a notification app like there where it's impossible to know when items may drop. 

I understand the developers needing to find the app, and I've supported that goal in the past. What I don't understand is why they felt the need to mandate 25% downtime as the path to monetizing. I'd accept ads, slower search notifications, many other options rather than simply forced downtime.

I hope and trust the developer will reconsider and find less intrusive ways to monetize and I sincerely look forward to supporting them & updating this back to a 5 star review if and when they correct this terrible decision.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts. I totally understand where you're coming from. When we launched our revamped app in January, we added dozens of new features while keeping the same pricing structure. The one thing that became more restrictive was the Quiet Hours feature. The reason we added it is to allow our user base to continue growing. We are only allowed a certain number of API calls into eBay's system per day, and wasting hundreds of thousands of those calls while our users are sleeping was not a wise stewardship of those API calls. The Quiet Hours feature is a way to lessen the load on our search servers, while still providing our users good service during their waking hours. Being able to turn that off as part of the Pro subscription is an added perk for our power users, along with the faster search times. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this might be to you, but hope that SeeSpotBid continues being the best app for finding good deals on eBay. Thanks again, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email.

### 5/5 — Excellent App! Won a cheap Kindle!

*2026-02-21*

Excellent App! I got a brand new Kindle Paperwhite for $57 under retail! I got the notification on my watch and snapped up the deal before anyone else had a chance.

**Developer response:** We are always stoked to hear when our users find great deals on eBay before anyone else. Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Great & FAST Customer Service - Wonderful APP

*2024-05-22*

The App is great and does what it’s suppose to do which I truly appreciate!!! Have found GREAT buys with this App already! But the one and true thing that makes this App even better is how quickly my issue was resolved. I sent an email to their support and received a response within a few hours!!! I thought I would be waiting for days like other App support. 

Thank you, TOM, you were a great help and now while I’m at work, I can see those GREAT buys on my phone!

### 1/5 — Currently not working

*2023-11-30*

The app was working great and is currently not working or showing any of my serches wich have serches coming up on ebay. No good way of getting support, no updates work. Pretty disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hi CL, we have a support email in the Settings page, as well as our website. Please email us at support@seespotbid.app and we'll help out if you're still having problems. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Does not function

*2023-10-19*

This app did not live up to any expectations. Its bad enough that they placed a paywall if you want to get notified more often than 30 minutes, but the 10 minute notify option isn’t frequent enough if your looking for an item that sells out quickly, which is why you would want this app in the first place. Even with the 30 minute intervals, the app never sent me notifications of new listings or ending auctions.

**Developer response:** Hi Psych, our Push Notifications are currently working for thousands of other users. If you send us an email through the Support section of the app, we can help out!

### 5/5 — Good but needs more options

*2023-03-25*

It would be great to be able to set the country of the searched item

### 5/5 — Does the trick!

*2023-02-15*

Exactly as the description indicates, you can set up auto-refreshed searches with push notifications to your iPhone! Pretty straight-forward app… no frills needed… i can compete with other collectors much faster than manyally refreshing 50+ browser windows! Sadly ebay has made some searches not work correctly anymore (not the developers’ fault) but i have found workarounds for most of the issues! Speaking of the developer, they are super responsive and have helped me resolve issues before!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! We love giving our customers  a leg up when it comes to finding rare items.

### 5/5 — If you are looking to find some eBay deals this is the app for you

*2022-10-28, version 2.6.4*

So simple it’s idiot proof, but still packs enough features to narrow down what product you want and at what price.

This is how you shop effectively, oftentimes insane deals pass you by because you can’t be looking at ebay 24/7, however, this app does that for you. 

Just make sure notifications are turned on 

My only recommendation would be to add some feature to track local pick up items based on your zip code. 

Most furniture is local pickup only and this app can’t really accommodate local pickup stuff, but I feel it wouldn’t be that hard to implement. 

You could include the local pickup zip code, radius in miles etc etc

### 3/5 — enable quite hours can't turn off

*2022-09-19*

can't modify the time of enable quite hours, and it can't be turned off. It always turns on automatically.

**Developer response:** Hi HK, Quiet Hours are optional and can be turned on or off in the Settings screen. Make sure you click "Save" in the top right after changing the option or else it won't persist. If you continue having issues, please contact our awesome support team at support@kaverk.com and we'll happily assist you.
