Quiet Hours Ruins App
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.

Excellent App! Won a cheap Kindle!
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.
Great & FAST Customer Service - Wonderful APP
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!

Currently not working
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.
Does not function
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.

Response from developer
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!
Good but needs more options
It would be great to be able to set the country of the searched item
Does the trick!
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!

If you are looking to find some eBay deals this is the app for you
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

enable quite hours can't turn off
can't modify the time of enable quite hours, and it can't be turned off. It always turns on automatically.
Really useful!
Good functionality and appears to be reliable alerts. Has snagged me a couple of great deals that I’d have missed out on otherwise.
Randomly erased all my searches
I wasn’t getting any notifications for a bit, checked the history, app crashed and when I reopened all of my saved searches were gone
Great for eBay novice
This app is user friendly and helps me find great deals on eBay automatically.
Definitely simplifies online shopping!
I LOVE finding great deals online (especially now that many thrift stores are closed due to Covid). SeeSpotBid helps me to find the best deals right away, without having to go back and research the same thing over and over. I like that it’s simple and doesn’t have pop up ads- definitely a great tool for online shoppers!

Now works
Had to delete and reinstall 3 times to get the notifications to work. App would not appear in the notification section. Still crashes randomly. Just closes on its own.
Exceptional
The app works as advertised, alerting me when items are listed below my price threshold. I now feel that I have an advantage over others who are looking for the same items on eBay. It's nice that it also finds auctions ending soon, so I don't have to add them to my Watch List through eBay anymore.
The pricing options feel fair to me, and have already saved me money over other search apps. Instead of presenting just one pricing choice, I have options depending on how much time I will need the search to be active. I have recommended this app to friends.
Update: I’ve been using this app regularly since it first appeared in the App Store. It is completely amazing. The developer updates it regularly, so it always works flawlessly, and I have found several hard-to-find items using this service. Thank you for this excellent app.

Perfect app!
I use to spend 5 hours a day watching searches, this app saves me 3 hours everyday.
And just submitted some feature suggestions, those would shave even more time. Superb app and friendly team.

Great app and great support
Fantastic application that works really well as described and helps a lot finding what I want on eBay. Great staff support too. Highly recommend.
Great support on a very useful app
I just started using the app. I like it. Had a slight problem so I contacted support. They got back to me in literally a few hours and resolved it! Quick and easy. Mind blown and the fast turnaround. Keep up the good work!
Pretty good
It’s pretty good. No ads or anything. Sometimes the servers are down, but it’s fairly rare. If I could choose the default sort order for my searches instead of it automatically choosing its own combined order then I would probably subscribe to the paid version.
