Pros and cons of Auto Refresh 5 app for iPhone and iPad
Auto Refresh 5 app good for
The app only refreshed the page at your desired interval, does not run in the background, and the page monitor fails on every attempt. It should look for page changes and not just specific words (which isnt has trouble doing). Dont buy until it is improved.
I use it everyday for refreshing the stock market on TD Waterhouse. Saves buying streaming real time quotes. 5 stars
I am a big fan of this idea
However the word detection seems to have a few bugs:
1. It is currently case sensitive, (ie: "the" and "The" are different)
2. It cannot read punctuation, (ie: "end" and "end." are different)
3. It cannot capture partial words or part of a number (ie: "15" will not be accepted as part of "315").
Like I said I really like this app, but without the accuracy of word detection being improved, I cannot count on the notification to ring for me.
Please fix ASAP
Thanks.
Great concept, extremely useful tool, but the word and sound detection needs work. The sound, as well as the word detector, does not always work. Other than that, great app.
Some bad moments
The countdown displayed on the web page ruins this app. It is not optional.
I will be asking Apple for a refund on this one. No place for settings! Does
5 seconds only no target words as advertised. Awful!
This App does just what it says. YOU select your time interval, YOU set the target words. It has been terrific for what I use it for. I dont leave reviews that often but I thought I would counter the one star reviews by people who obviously cant look at some pictures to figure out where the settings are. The countdown could be turned on or off, but it doesnt bother me for my use. You are usually not looking at this when you use it anyway. A TERRIFIC BUY. Worth every penny.
Did a google search for something like this on my iPhone 4s and this came up, I saw it had the Auto-Refresher and bought since I had a 10$ iTunes card... But I found out the target word which comes in handy for the way I use it!!
How I use the app is to find new limited/limitedUs on RŌBLOX when they first arrive and if I can predict the name of one and type it in on the word finder it will tell me right when it comes out!!
Love it, WORTH EVERY PENNY!!
I use all the features of this app, on an iPad 1, running iOS 5. I bought this to monitor a page that uses frames, which is a little bit different to get working in this app. I figured out the frame URL to reload using Firefox on my PC first and then set this app up.
The only thing that I would change is to allow the page to keep reloading after a match condition is satisfied as an option. If that is done I would need or desire that the audible alarm, which is the killer great part of this app, to alarm once when the match condition is met, but if the match condition disappears, or becomes false, the alarm should re-arm and audible when it becomes true again.
Can only reload one page at a time and that page must be open in order to work. It does not work in background.
Suggestions: allow to work in background and be able to reload multiple pages at a time
