HotStock - in-stock alerts

I’ve only been in this app religiously for a day trying to shop for a camera for my wife’s birthday present, but I’ve been on and off about on trying to get one cuz there were so many people wanting it and such a low supply, but today I said “let me really try for the next 24 hours” luckily canon has been dropping like crazy the past 24 hours, but a tip that helped me and might help someone out there, is that I realized last minute if you can somehow get to the check out(or by failing to buy because the stock went to 0 again, because you clicked the notification too late) and it says “0 left in stock” chill at the check out and wait for the next notification to appear, and it did appear within the next 2-4 minutes, and I believe the page refreshed automatically for me or I had to refresh it I forgot cuz I was stressed but I got through quick, pressed pay with Apple Pay made sure my info was all correct before all of this so it just scanned my face, mind you, this all happened within 10-20 seconds of that notification getting sent, but thank God, I got lucky with the notification and it went through Deleting this app now, but this app has been so helpful! Definitely going to use this again once there is something else we want that is low in supply, but hopefully this helps someone out there ✌

Autobuy feature didn’t work for me. Had several missed opportunities to buy product I wanted but relied on the autobuy feature that I paid extra for to get it for me. Maybe it wasn’t set up right but the instructions aren’t very clear for “all” the steps to set it up properly so I had to guess what to do in order to set it up and it didn’t work for me. I followed the steps it gave me and after several drops without successful purchases I started to realize that there was some other settings that had no instructions for what to do. If I had a notification that said it failed to purchase do to stock not being available I would’ve atlast known that it was set up right just didn’t get lucky on the purchase and that would’ve been fine but I had no idea if it was even trying to autobuy anything. You’re better off sticking to regular notifications without paying for the premium membership and trying to buy what you want manually when the alerts come in. That’s how I was able to get what I was looking for. It’s almost impossible to purchase hot items without trying for several days sometimes weeks or even months depending on what you’re looking for because of all the bots. Other than autobuy not working for me this app is Great! If I didn’t pay for a feature that didn’t work in the first place I would’ve given this app 5 stars.

Everyone knows how difficult it’s been to get a PS5 ever since they launched, and if you aren’t some tech savvy scum bag you probably aren’t using bots to buy all the inventory and resell it. You probably just want one for yourself. Or maybe you want a GTX3090 or some other hard to find item. Normally you’d be out of luck. Bots buy up all of the inventory before you even knew they were back in stock. But this godsend of an app alters you to when things are restocked and depending on store will tell you when they are going to be restocking. It’s still hard to get some items but this app really gives you a chance at buying it at MSRP instead the over inflated leech on society price by people who buy dozens of them. This is about the only app that I would say buying the premium membership is worth it. For a bit easy stuff like the Xbox or some lesser graphics cards ya don’t really not to have it, but for 3090s, 3080s or PS5 it’s definitely worth every penny to get your notifications earlier then most people. You may not be as fast as a bot but this app closes the gap between us normal every day folks and the sweaty scummy people who run bots creating a shortage so they can make a buck. 10/10 will use to find stuff in the future.
