Description
Web Alert lets you define alerts to notify you immediately when a webpage element changed to a particular value. You can set alerts for product prices, news, exam results, concert dates etc.
You can track sections of a webpage which you select with a build-in selector similar to jQuery or CSS selector.
You can interpret the selection in three ways: * as a text * as a number * as a date
You can use regular expressions, in a Search and Replace, to extract just the useful information from the selected elements.

Comments on Web Alert (jQuery Selector) for Android
★★★★★
Only app offering power of JQuery selectors and regular expressions. I don't understand the criticism of that. Plenty of apps offering less versatile methods. Go and use them if this is above your intelligence level. Very elegant and well documented.
★★★★★
It is perfect app for scanning keyword, but developer should add one thing that is if a keyword (in my case deal) is found once then it should not give alert for same again n again
★★★★★
Perfect for my needs. But I need to know - I am checking for a two-word string, so, how can I use space in the "Operation Value" field?
★★★★★
Remove the 15-min barrier I want to keep checking with an interval of 10–30 seconds. Otherwise, its works really well. Remove the 15 minutes barrier it's annoying. I didn't have any battery draining issue I just want less interval checking tym. Edit:- ok no problem its work fine though
★★☆☆☆
Did not work Did not notify me even two days later it failed to do so.
★★☆☆☆
The stupidest app on the planet. Wake up code fanatics! The problem is the selection of elements! I use a mobile app and should find every time the element ID on the desktop computer??? Are you serious? Look at other similar web alerts, all works just by the user clicking on the element inside the app! I don't even understand how a person could imagine an app with that works in this way your app do.
★★☆☆☆
Have to type the jQuery select in manually, no way to select from webpage. Tedious doesn't even come close.
