## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No support for iPhone 17

*2025-10-15*

No options for new iPhone models. Needs updating.

### 1/5 — Not updated for new models

*2025-09-20*

Not updated for new models

### 1/5 — Inaccurate information?

*2024-10-19*

It says the iphone 16 pro 128gb desert is available at the nearby apple store (i’m in ottawa canada) but when I check the apple store app they’re not available for pick up. I went to the apple store today and it is unavailable. Hope the dev could fix this.

### 1/5 — Lacking two important features

*2024-09-26*

This app expects you to have the app open and in front at all times. This is the only way it’ll keep checking stock levels every minute or so. Even if you switch to another app, it’ll stop monitoring :/ …. In the words, this type of app should always have background app refresh. How can someone expect a customer to always have their phone unlocked at all times and keep their app in the front ?

Secondly, there’s no method of notifying the customers in case a phone comes in stock somewhere nearby. That is, the app has no notifications concept.

### 1/5 — Voice speech

*2023-10-11*

The app is cool but the annoying part about it is that the app talks about the phone repeatedly and it’s quit annoying.

**Developer response:** Hi thanks for your feedback! 

We did this to support the community, and little by little we include improvements to make the app better.

Just update to the latest version of the app, it now allows you to stop the annoying talking 😅 with one tap on any row! 🤩

### 2/5 — Unintuitive

*2024-04-27*

I don’t get why the app needs to yell at me every time I open it. Tapping on a result to silence it is a poor solution.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. In the upcoming version 2.4 of the app, you’ll be able to silence the voice in the settings!

We’ve also added the ability to restrict the distance, so you’ll only be notified when phones are as far as you prefer.

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2023-11-13*

It works, but it needs an option to turn off voiceover altogether. Whenever I open the app it’ll start talking without even having tapped on anything, it’s annoying.

### 4/5 — Almost great

*2023-11-01*

It works, but it needs an option to turn off voiceover altogether. Often when I open the app it’ll start talking without even having tapped on anything, it’s annoying.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2023-10-28*

Work well, but needs an option to disable speaking the results out loud.

Edit: Also needs an option to exclude locations by distance. I prefer to not see store locations that are very far away. Especially being that my city has only one Apple store.

**Developer response:** Thank your for your feedback!

Very recently we have included updates to do just that! So go ahead and update the app and tap in any row to stop the search results.

### 5/5 — iPhone 17

*2025-09-20*

When will display iPhone 17 option?

### 5/5 — works like charm

*2023-10-09*

perfect way to track availability of the phones… easy to use.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Highly appreciated, keep an eye out for updates, we try to make it better and more stable.

You can now stop the watch dog with a tap and filter for any pro device on settings!
