Maybe it hasn’t been updated in a while? Mainly when browsing through the searches, if I select an item, it seems to become impossible for me to be redirected over to eBay. Pressing buy now or using the eBay search icon doesn’t seem to work. ### 3/5 — Good but… *2023-05-07* The app works, but for some reason it is constantly showing a red notification badge on the app at all times, even when I have zero searches set up. I can’t make it go away ### 3/5 — 1 minute not working *2022-09-27* 1 minute refresh rate is not working, only shows listings 5 minutes after they’re posted. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! eBay takes 3–5 minutes to process new listings, so even instantly found items may show with a slight delay. ### 3/5 — Great but broken? *2021-02-11* The app was working great until near 24 hours after I downloaded it, it’s not loading any new results. I was excited to finally get notifications of new listings timely until the app decided to not load any more new listings. I can see them on eBay, but not on the app. :/ **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. Sorry to here about the issue, keen to get resolved. Please can you drop me an email via the in-app help & feedback ### 3/5 — The app has a good interface *2021-01-21* The app has a good interface and useability but it keeps crashing shortly after loading ### 4/5 — Needs a home page *2026-01-04* When you click on the new listing notification, sometimes it doesnt popup you have to go back to the several listings youve already clicked on, to go back to the homepage. Its really annoying and such a simple fix **Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this, has been resolved in the last update. Cheers ### 4/5 — Great idea with no ads but with issues *2025-05-21, version 3.14.2* It’s good to see a totally free app for eBay alerts, but it seems to have a few bugs. Maybe it hasn’t been updated in a while? Mainly when browsing through the searches, if I select an item, it seems to become impossible for me to be redirected over to eBay. Pressing buy now or using the eBay search icon doesn’t seem to work. Edit: after some updates it appeared to have been fixed, although some minor bugs still lay around. Weirdly every week or so the currency changes itself to USD so I have to keep reverting back to GBP. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-04-19, version 2.05.0* I really like it. It’s the only app I’ve been able to find that searches every minute for available items in Ebay. Best ever. ### 5/5 — Great app for saving time and money *2022-02-07, version 2.00.1* A really helpful app that I now use for making sure I never miss out on a item, deffo worth a download if your a frequent eBay purchaser. ### 5/5 — Absolute must have!!!! *2021-01-29, version 1.03.5* Made some really good saving and saved so much time. Top stuff ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-01-12, version 1.03* First time downloading this kind of app and very impressed. Would recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
