★★★★★ lags and doesn't do what it claims

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ you have to pay for the auto buy feature as a subscription.
★★★★★ decent app does tell you when things in stock but also you have to pay to use simple things like the search bar!
★★★★★ Honestly, this was my go to app at first, but being limited to tracking and getting notifications for only specific items and one searched item is very inconvenient.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Autobuy, when it would do anything, would simply open Amazon and ask if I wanted to add the item to my cart. 1★, Oct 20, 2026
  • Watched my buddy get stuff added but all it does to me is add a 10 dollar gift card from target 1★, Oct 5, 2026
  • great app I honestly love it I just wish there was a way to use the autobuy function through a PC or the website. 4★, Oct 1, 2026
  • I will say though I think the auto pay feature need a little more work, but man I am thankful for this app. 5★, Sep 12, 2026
  • Be aware that your phone/tablet will need to have the Hot stock app open and not screen locked until Auto buy scores your drop. 5★, Jan 6, 2026
  • i purchased the auto buy thing to try to pre order the switch 2 and it keeps saying add a default payment method to Walmart when there is one added. 1★, May 31, 2025
  • I wish we lived in a world where apps like this aren't necessary, but until we decide to start enforcing scalper laws that will never happen. 5★, Apr 24, 2025

★★★★★Oct 23, 2026

paid for premium to get advanced notifications, meanwhile instead it just stopped notifying me about drops just for me to check the app hours later seeing how much I missed

★★★★★Oct 23, 2026

Even with the paid version, my notifications don't come in faster than using Typa, which is a free app. The auto buy feature is also slow, so it didn't help at all. I was only able to get the Switch Zelda console on my own using notifications from Typa. The Prevent Sleep function doesn't always work, so every now and then I'll have to reset it. The notifications also seem to be buggy, and I haven't been getting any notifications lately despite me making sure my settings are correct. Useless app.

★★★★★Oct 23, 2026

This app is complete garbage. Waste of time and Money.

★★★★★Oct 23, 2026

Helpful and Useful. I used this App and its services (Paid for the help of course) to get a hot selling item i wanted. Make sure to tap on the Notifications that this app sends you because yes it helps you purchase whatever you looking for. You can set it to buy for you but depending on whomever your banking with, you still have to do one part of it and its confirming the end part. I highly recommend using it. A lot of people already recommend me this app so I gave it a chance and Am glad I did.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

Gave me alert on right time for buying Zelda controller. Definitely recommend!!

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

Autobuy will not work on Android. Do not waste your money. update: requested a refund, they didn't even respond.
