About Web Alert (Website Monitor)

Web Alert enables you to monitor any website for changes (even when a login, a form post or password prompt is necessary to access the site). Get notified when a price changes, a new article is published, you receive exam results or an answer in a forum, a registration period has opened, etc. You can also check if your own website is currently online and working correctly (UI testing and web monitoring).

You navigate with its special browser to the webpage and the app will track your navigation steps so that these can be repeated later in the background periodically. On the page you select the text (or HTML) visually that you want to watch for updates so you receive only notifications for modifications in these parts. The alarm report of the checker highlights the differences.

Technically speaking, other apps only automate checking repeatedly the raw content behind a simple URL. This app, however, also features Web Automation where instructions (macros) are recorded interactively (e.g. like iMacros). Your actions to reach the website (and your selection of the text whose updates you want to keep track of) are replayed automatically in intervals specified by you. This gives you the additional opportunity to oversee alterations in Deep Web pages.

Features:
✔ Notification when a website changes
✔ Monitor various websites on the watchlist
✔ Simplified way to give instructions for checking
✔ Visual difference of all modifications to a website detected (diff)
✔ It can act as a web monitor to check the availability and correctness
✔ Choose exactly which part or parts of a page to watch
✔ Save mobile traffic by disabling or reducing checks for mobile networks
✔ Check pages even behind logins, HTTP Authentications, form posts or long navigational sequences
✔ Monitor websites with JavaScript (may not always work)
✔ 256-Bit AES-encryption for all sensitive data
✔ Notification alarms using sound, vibration and/or the LED
✔ Browse the different versions of a website (includes offline browser)
✔ Requires only a minimum amount of permissions.

This project is being developed as part of a thesis at the University of Hamburg (Germany). Some modern websites with too much JavaScript do not work properly yet, please have patience :-)

This app is almost unbelievable, when I looked for different possible implementations of that idea, I came across WebAlert. It's as if my brain was scanned the night before to extract exactly the kind of approach I didn't even realize was exactly what I wanted. I was thinking about regex parsers and scrapers, even the complicated and intelligent ones, was gonna put together a script myself (because it's fun). But then I saw this app.. didn't wanna write a parser anymore. For anyone thinking along those lines about this app, that's not exactly the case. Very direct approach for an app to do what it does best, and then for the user to take over and do what human mind does best by just skimming though the results. Expansion pack is fantastic, kind of a combination of both in a sense, I'd recommend everyone to at least look through its description. Wanna thank the dev for all the work, it's superb.

This ap changed my life. It's freed up my time so I can get other things done while it checks for website changes. So far it's been 100% accurate. I'm in love!!

Q70%
by Q####:

Brilliantly designed. Needs log of page load times. Need alert for slow page loads. Slow page load due to host problems can badly hurt a website SEO and customer experience. This is a huge need.

After hours of messing with other website monitoring apps and wasting my time, I finally found this app. It's free, easy, and gets the job done. Deserved 5 stars.

U70%
by U####:

I would like to monitor many sites, i would buy the full version if i could monitor them in diferent time intervals. Now i only can choose one. So if i want to check one site every minute and other every day, i have to choose only one. Still amazing work - thank you

I'm not a technical user but I do a lot of research on the net, and I've been looking for a webpage tracker for ages (incl on Windows). This app despite being still in beta already seems to be the best. It has been reliable so far (check the execution log if in doubt; wish there could be an accumulator record because it did miss a change), flexible auto-check schedule from 5 minutes to a week (although I wish we could specify a starting time), not giving false alerts over unimportant (e.g. ads) changes, and with an unlimited record of changes. The latter is very important for example to be able to see when a price had been jacked up prior to a "sale". I hope this app will continue to be the forerunner of similar apps...

If I wanted to have to manual check for changes I would just monitor the site myself. I am not paying for an expansion when I could just have my laptop ping instead for free with an online app with time intervals for free. Honestly this isn't worth it.

Web Alert is a very well designed app with lots of features. It's versatile and can be used to monitor any online data automatically. Support is really good and features are added if requested.

App uses too much ram as big as 1.3 gb after few hours. I have 3 gb ram but only remains 300 mb after few hours of running app in background.

Very good app. However vibrates on alert despite this setting unchecked in settings page.

Z70%

Worthless. Takes it forever to do the individual steps for accessing and login to a website and navigating to a particular page.

This app does exactly what it says on the tin - tracks changes to a webpage and alerts you at regular intervals. I've been waiting on some limited edition sales of some items I've been hoping to buy for a long time and as soon as they went on sale I knew thanks to the app. Very easy to use as well, don't know of any other app that does the job this well!

by U####:

I use it for price monitoring a site and it works perfect. Some suggestions for Dev: 1. notification when server error, 2. Search for a product in the main window, 3. Multiple selections (frames) to monitor on a single page. Are these doable, Dev? Thanks!

This app is exactly what I was looking for! Only issue is that it bogs down my phone to the point that it becomes nearly unusable! As soon as I disable the app my phone will start working great again. Fixing this will jump the app up to 5 stars, but for now I just can't use the app. Running on an HTC one m8. Update: app froze phone so bad, it took 10 minutes to be able to disable it. This really needs to get fixed.... If it weren't for this it would be a five star app, but it makes my phone unusable.

Does slow phone down, have noticed app just keeps consuming memory, went from 0.5GB to over 1.1GB in a day which crippled my phone. Just rebooted now and web alert is now taking up 187 MB. Memory issue might have been related to me changing the webview implementation in developer options from Google webview to chrome beta. Since I've changed this setting this apps memory is no longer increasing exponentially. It rises and now falls post check back down to 181MB.

I used this to get an item I needed that's hard to find. Set alerts for that item from different stores. Within an hour I got a notification that the website changed and I got my item! So easy! Love it. Wish there was pause button for alerts, though.
