2024-12-17 Firefox user 14971508 schrott, ich bekomme immer eine meldung, dass sich was geändert hat, hat sich aber nicht. daher ist dieses plugin für mich nutzlos. wäre sinnvoller man könnte etwas markieren zum überwachen, wenn sich was ändert. mir bringt das plugin so nichts. weil ich bei jedem aktualisieren eine meldung bekomme.
2024-11-22 Firefox user 16750493 It stopped working.
2024-10-11 msjs08 Not impressed. Tried to make it run based on conditions but doesn't seem to work. Alerts don't work. Wasted my time
2024-10-04 Seiji They say you can add two devices on the free plan. I have it installed as a Firefox extension and the Desktop app. After installing the desktop app, everytime I press the extension icon on Firefox, it won't open the selection list, it shows me the device list and says I reached the limit. Can't use it anymore.

2024-06-18 Firefox user 18467492 It's okay but doesn't work on containers. I may have to use multiple accounts ...
2024-05-31 Firefox user 18434328 Много полезных функций
2024-04-27 Firefox user 12313260 Used it with only one site for a year now, worked. Added two more, made an account. Saw that the account (free tier) can be run only every 6 hours. that's pretty bad and useless. Decided to close the account because its unnecessary. What happend is that all my watchlist was completely empty because they sync online and offline. So don't use an account or never delete one. I could start over, but is tells me now "Used 0 of 0 available monitors" wth I'll make a python script, thanks for nothing
