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. ### 3/5 — The app is very basic, it works but needs an overdue update *2019-07-23, version 4.1* Discovered some filtering for the app but it needs more like in the website!! Please add Better search filters and multiple filter capabilities! I started using chrome on phone for the website as it gives me better searches. :/ ### 3/5 — App crashes *2018-09-11, version 4.1* This app is great but has started crashing almost every time I look at a full listing. Would love to see it updated and get back to a 5 star app. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2018-08-20, version 4.1* Love the app but it consistently crashes when viewing a full listing from watchuseek on iPhone X. ### 3/5 — Filter like the website needed *2017-06-25, version 3.9* Please ### 4/5 — Just needs slightly better filtering options *2017-04-26, version 3.9* I've used WR for years via the web, and having an app for it is great, I just wish it had more filtering options like the website. ### 4/5 — Excellent app! One feature left... *2017-01-25, version 3.9* Excellent app! Just as good as the website version. Last feature for feature parity... give us a way to set price range for searches! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-02-15, version 3.9* This is great! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app, even better than the site *2014-10-01, version 3.7* This app is so well executed. You can set up alerts for watches you're interested in as well as the normal functions of the website. ### 4/5 — Great app *2014-09-15, version 3.7* This app does what we all want, let's us shop for watches while we poop. A few features I'd love: have the ability to mark a listing as 'not interested' so we don't see it on our alerts anymore, and the ability to zoom on photos. ### 4/5 — Crashes. *2014-04-29, version 3.7* I like the app if it didn't crash every so often, wish this would get fixed, used on original iPad. update, I am thinking this was made for iPhone, now we need a iPad version. also please increase amount of watched watches, how can someone narrow it down to 5? It's barbaric i tell you! Update 2 The app still crashes ever once in while, Used on ipad air. 7.4. ### 5/5 — Love it *2014-04-19, version 3.7* I love this app, would love to see: 1. iCloud sync between devices for search alerts. 2. Bookmarks 3. Drill down by state ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-07-27, version 4.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Not great *2020-03-01, version 4.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2018-10-05, version 4.1* App keeps crashing when I try to view any of the postings in full view. Might as well go to the website ### 1/5 — Unusable *2018-02-23, version 4.1* Downloaded the app to look at watches and couldn’t even load the first home screen... doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — What did we do before watch recon? *2017-11-16, version 4.1* Fantastic app I use every day to browse and enjoy. Thanks for the amazing app and ad free experience. Edit: one star. Epilepsy warning. Fix the white flash. ### 1/5 — Not connecting *2015-11-05, version 3.9* All I get is the "spinning wheel" and then a connection timed out error with this app...? ### 1/5 — Filter by price? *2014-01-29, version 3.0* Why did you guys remove the ability to filter by price? Way to take out one of the best features of this app. ### 1/5 — Loved the app until... *2013-03-14, version 1.2* Until it froze up; even restarting the iPad doesn't help. HELP! ### 2/5 — Should be like version 0.2 *2022-01-26, version 4.1* Very rudimentary search, returns wide results based on search parameters, then apparently no way to delete any of the returned results. ### 3/5 — Need price function *2019-12-22, version 4.1* Basic search by price function is missing? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hands down the best app for private sale finds *2019-07-27, version 4.1* Stop searching through forums for deals. This gives you everything in one app with alerts. It’s fantastic. Just wish you could make more saved results. ### 5/5 — Best watch buying app ever *2017-11-09, version 4.0* The app is an excellent resource for watch collectors. It works smoothly, I’ve never had a crash, and it searches all the major forums for private listings. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2016-06-05, version 3.9* There's nothing else out there quite like it. Anybody who is into collecting watches should have this. ### 5/5 — Great app, useful *2016-01-10, version 3.9* This is a great app. This is an app I use every day and it works every time. I just can't say enough about this app. It works perfectly as designed, if every app was this useful it would be amazing. ### 5/5 — Watch Recon Second To None *2015-12-27, version 3.9* Watch Recon is a fantastic app. It keeps me from having to search multiple websites each day to find the watches I want. ### 5/5 — Crazy well-done! *2015-07-01, version 3.9* I've used the browser version since its inception, and just downloaded this, and I am impressed. It's every bit as simple and intuitive as the website, and adds something with the alert feature. Very clean, simple, no bull. Excellent job. ### 5/5 — Great app for buying watches *2015-06-19, version 3.9* This app is a bit specialized so obviously it's not for everyone, but if you buy/sell/trade watches from people in online forums, this will change your life. Very well executed and fictions perfectly. Thanks for making this free (I'd pay for this). ### 5/5 — Wow *2015-05-14, version 3.9* This app is terrible. I've had it a week and it's already cost me thousands of dollars in watches I probably would not have found had I not had this app. The developer did an amazing job, seriously. Really well done and slick the way that the photos, location, make and model and price are parsed out. I never review apps but I just had to review this one to provide feedback to the developer. To make this app even better, a couple things. 1) have the option to parse the text from the sales post into the quick view screen as this often includes descriptive details. I would rather not have to load up the full view of the webpage with all the ads and stuff every time I want more information on a sale. 2) add ability for more quick search/alerts. 3) push badge and banner notifications instead of having to load the app to see notifications. 4) if possible be able to load the full size images so again, I don't need to open the full view to zoom in and see more detail. 5) index sales posts from further back in time. Right now it appears to only go back to January or early February. Often need to search further back to look for rarer items or to price compare a sales price. I would gladly pay $2-5 for this app if even half of these recommendations were implemented. Great job! ### 5/5 — Amazing time saver! *2015-05-12, version 3.9* This is amazing, seriously has saved me hours of surfing and looking for watches on my favorite sites. Well done and thank you for making this free. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2015-03-19, version 3.9* Watch Recon is absolutely indispensable. My daily, go-to app for watch shopping. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
