What's New in WatchRecon

4.1

November 13, 2017

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. The refresh button is back! Listing thumbnails are now larger to take advantage of larger iPhone screens, plus they are faster to load. Many parts of the application support iOS's dynamic type sizing.

User reviews

Should be like version 0.2

Very rudimentary search, returns wide results based on search parameters, then apparently no way to delete any of the returned results.

Bad

No. Never. Don’t. This app is great if you want terrible results. It has a tiny fraction of results compared to a side by side search on eBay. Probably better results if you tried using a phone book to look for Watches.

Not great

The app provides a basic snapshot of watches, but you usually need to visit the actual website where the watch is listed to see pertinent information, and that is where this app fails. Rather than just linking you to the site, the app seems to be doing something in the middle because loading any outside webpage in “Full View” from the app causes a LONG pause or a crash before you actually get to the page where the watch is listed. It’s very noticeable and not something you would experience if you just clicked a normal link to a website. Something needs to be fixed here.

Need price function

Basic search by price function is missing?

Only missing one thing

I use the desktop version of this app all the time and have email notifications. The only drawback with this app is that you can’t connect to your online account. I would have to resign up for all my alerts.
