No option to filter or customize anything
The developer’s response was: “Use the ‘…’ button beside a section to ignore the whole section. Ignored parts won’t appear in future updates.”
He was technically right, the ignored “…” section does not appear in future updates. However, how useful is that when the entire freaking page is treated as a single section under the “…” menu?
Terrible design, made worse by the developer’s poor response and lack of understanding of the actual issue.

Thanks for clarifying. WebWatch creates sections from the structure provided by the website, so a page without meaningful headings may appear as a single section. However, the section menu isn’t the only filtering option: after an individual item changes, you can select “Ignore this change,” and that item will no longer trigger future notifications—even when the whole page appears under one section. I’m sorry my previous response focused only on sections and didn’t explain this option clearly.
Brilliant
It’s easy to use and does what it says
great light app
Response from developer
Hi, I’m Damian, the developer of WebWatch. Thanks for your review! I’ve already been in touch with you about this—the issue comes from that page being extremely large (over 3 MB of HTML), which iOS simply can’t handle in background refresh. Most sites work fine, but unfortunately very heavy ones like this aren’t supported. Sorry the app couldn’t meet your need here.
