Bottom line: it serves the purpose

So there’s something you really want to find but can’t sit in front of your browser all day long. BayWatch will find it. It’s simple and allows you to utilize all of eBay’s filters to narrow your search. Done. What a thrill it is to hear that little “ping” and see what the app has found! Just wish it would tell you in the notification but currently you have to open the app to see which search produced results. To determine it, you must search (and squint) for a tiny little red number within your list, so the interface is not quite as user friendly as it could be. Also, you can’t select the notification sound, which tends to be the same one a LOT of other apps use, so sometimes you’ll get a feeling of false alarm. Perhaps the most helpful feature that’s missing is you can’t label your searches. Instead, the app simply lists your search word(s), so if you’re searching, for example, for several different parts by a cryptic model number, you have to remember what goes to what without an opportunity to notate. Overall though, the app is the best I’ve found for the purpose!

Sorta works

Kind of cringe, will send a paying subscriber notifications to go look at ads when no new updates have occurred. “Look at your watchlist” I’ve seen my watchlist, Im the one who made it. I’ve paid for faster updates, and there’s often times it says there’s an update, but I can’t find it. All that said, it has helped me score some items. It just wants more money from me.

Terrible, waste of money

This app is terrible. Paid for premium, etc and still never got notifications when new items were listed. Waste of money, don’t bother.

Good, needs faster search frequency

The app is good, i tried another app called "seespotbid" and they offer a search frequency of 2 mins for $4.99 a month, while "baywatch" offers a search frequency of 10-15mins for $4.99. I choose to use baywatch because its user friendly. If the developer of this app puts a faster search frequency this app would be amazing.

Saves me time. Highly recommended

Saves me time, sort of! It sure is helpful — I get an early look at listings, which means I do spend more time looking ;)

Why Not Have This Running??

I’ve found this to be very helpful. But I’ve learned that you MUST have a few separate “watches” going, using different sets of keywords for the same item you’re looking for... At least for me it’s really helped to yield a lot more reliable results, and I figured this out by noticing that when I entered a bunch of keywords into a “watch” for an item, when I reviewed the results that already existed on EBay, there were listings missing that I knew were active at that moment, and for the same item I was trying to lookout for. So I removed some keywords and added others into a new “watch”, and then I saw the missing listings show up in this app. So now I just have like three or four different “watches” going at the same time for the same item I’m looking for, just using a variety of keywords, and now I seem to get notified just about every time the item I’m looking for gets listed. Also, for some reason I can’t see what I’m typing right now, so please excuse what are probably many errors...

Works as intended

It will notify you within 15 minutes. Could be seconds after something is listed or 14 minutes. So it is a major improvement over anything eBay offers. Still hard to beat out eBay snipers, but it does help. On another note, the developer is very responsive and open to suggestions, which is very nice.

App doesn’t work on iOS

I downloaded it and it keeps saying Open Setting and Allow App Background Refresh.. ok , did that. Went back to the app and it just keeps telling me to go back and turn on That function when it already is. Was really excited for this app, too bad it doesn’t even function
