I built it since I was tired of spending too much time on my phone. This app is unique since when the time is up, you are locked out for the rest of the day. The only way out is to watch an ad or pay, and who wants to do that, right?

Price: Free IAP: Unlock single app ($0,99), Unlock all apps ($9,99)

Now with a brand new design. Tracking a price is as simple as highlighting the number you want to track. Text can also be tracked, which opens up some interesting use cases. For example, you can track when a product is back in stock or when a slot opens up for a passport appointment.

I missed a simple Reminders app when I moved to the iOS ecosystem. The default Reminders app is clunky and requires several clicks to schedule a reminder. I therefore built RemindMe. The app lets you add reminders to the notification center in one tap, and they can be marked as completed by swiping to the left. As other people may also benefit from it, I have published it on the App Store. Hopefully it will make your everyday life a bit smoother.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! If the exact field was updated, text tracking would be sufficient. I also plan to add a mode that is as simple as "something changed", which will let you know when anything about the page is updated. I worry that may cause a lot of notifications though.

The app can be used to track any number/text on any website. Useful to get alerts when sales happen, or just when a website changes. Two years ago the app was released on Google Play, finally it is available for iPhone and Mac as well.

I would argue that it is easier to have it in the app. You get streamlined info and can compare products. Not to mention the super fast barcode scanner you get in the app.

This app lets you search for any food or product. You will then get the amount of proteins, calories, vitamins etc it contains. You can also scan the barcode of a product to get the result directly. Oh, and it is completely free.

I don't think so. The user can test the app for free as much as he/she wants. The user only has to pay if he/she wants to track from more than one website at a time. Also, all Google Play purchases are refundable within 48 hours (everyone might not be aware of this though).

The bad reviews usually come when people try to track from websites that are JavaScript heavy, where the app does not work so well. Maybe I should have been more precise; it works on most websites, not all.

I made an app last year that lets the user track virtually anything. Most notably, it is possible to track prices from any website.

The app has made me a fair amount of money, but I don't really mention it to my friends or family. The thing is, I am Norwegian, and most people here use iPhones. Since the app is only available for Android, the conversation usually ends in an -oh, anyway.
