I had the paid version but the Autobuy never worked. Waste of money. Not sure how it prioritizes, if 100 people have paid for Autobuy and there are 2 cards dropped, who gets it bought for them?

I'm not sure the notify-fe service detected this either. ITs still showing the last drop was 13th March.

The free version users also get notified after paid users, so pay and you will get the chance to buy first. Not sure of the time difference between free and paid.

It's usually a couple minutes. Just FYI, the app can glitch and be behind, even if paid. I noticed when I had the website and the app open at the same time.

Reinstalling fixed it, so it synchronised with the website again.

For £5, I would say it's worth it. It's how I got the Vanguard 5090 yesterday and the Astral 5080 last month. However, it's not perfect, it has missed a drop here and there. Also, if multiple cards drop at the same place at the same time, it will only show one card.

It's much, much faster than the discord I'm on, which could be more than 5 minutes behind :rolleyes:

They say they notify a minute earlier so on free they are probably gone before you click the link.
Especially from certain retailers who only get 5.
 
Seems to be a few drops this morning but most importantly prices are starting to become reasonable.
I wonder how long it takes the retailers who are scalping though for their prices to become normal.

Always worth a shot. I got one last night on the alphabet place after waiting 15 minutes in the queue (presumably because it was a bot that had it in the basket but the script failed, so it got released to me).
 
On the one hand, you could say Hotstock is a nice little racket praying on people's desparation.

On the other hand, less than a fiver outlay could potentially save you hundreds if the card you want appears at the right price but in low numbers.

Temped to give it a go as I've got Play store credit doing nothing. :D

It's a handy little app and the free version bagged me my 5090 FE this morning. It's definitely a bit on the buggy side though.

I'm still getting regular notifications of drops even though I've now disabled all alerts.

I clicked the notification as soon as it popped up this morning, but it had already gone. Getting notified a minute earlier may have made the difference, who knows?
