Description
Web Alert lets you monitor any website (or specific parts of it) you wish in order to be notified when it is updated. It even works when a login, a form post or password prompt is necessary to access the site. For example, 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, or use it for UI testing and web monitoring.
You navigate with its special browser to the webpage and the app tracks your navigation steps so that these can be repeated later in the background automatically. 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.
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. 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.
The app allows you to be the first to know about changes and news. It can save you time and money and the burden to remember checking in on web pages frequently yourself.
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 of your homepage ✔ Choose exactly which 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 ✔ 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 was 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.

Comments on Web Alert (Website Monitor) for Android
★★★★☆Rob Frood· Dec 28, 2025
Effectively monitors websites for changes, with no noticeable drain on the battery. Looses a star as the webpage being monitored needs to be using a fairly simple layout. For example, it was unable to monitor the Asics site for price changes on a pair of trainers, it just hung trying to load the page. But other sites work fine.

Simple, but amazing app. The interface is not the most beautiful, but it does the job exactly how it should be!

I rarely give reviews but this app is one of the best. It does what it does, and it does it really good. The interface is great and it is also free. No annoying ads. Some functionalities are locked under the Pro version, but I would gladly pay. Doesn't drain my battery also. Its even better than some web paid apps and also open source options like changedetection.io

The checks are slow, it's faster to reload the page and check yourself. And free version allows maximum check every half hour. You'll have to pay to check more often than that.

Needs work. I am looking at a page that updates daily at weird times. Then resets to the original text when the day's work is done. I need an alert when the "work done" text changed to know what work I had to do. Instead of alerting me the text changed it errored with "object not found" with no alert. It's basically a boolean check, and it failed on that. App also logged in every time it checked, so I got multiple alerts that was happening which is annoying. It should stay logged in.

Too slow! It used to check sites much faster. I purchased the upgraded version. It used to go through my list in 10–18 minutes. Now it's 45–110 minutes. At the end of the list, instead of immediately starting over, it will sit for a few minutes. Also, at the end of the list, it will be down to checking one site. The other 4 in use should go back and restart at the top of the list. I'm not sure what changed.

This is good. But make it send POST Request and open the page like HTTP Request in Tasker Action does. Because on some websites we have to entry form with Captcha. So this method night help us to skip entering captcha on some Websites
