- (2023-03-11) Augusto Oliveira: Perfeitamente funcional. Ótima extensão para produtividade.
- (2023-02-14) Saleh Alanazi: As a fellow extension developer, I can't thank you enough
- (2023-01-18) Gabriel Doria: Amazing!!
- (2023-01-12) Mark L: Had a prior web page search program that relied on ITFFF to send me an email notification but ITFFF doesn't seem to support that search program any longer. Distill Web Monitor has a built in email notification capability along with others. I checked out the email alert and it worked great. It also incorporates REGEX for extracting numbers from selected fields that have other non numeric characters. Support is first class in that I got a solution to an issue had within 24 hours.
- (2022-12-29) Raul H: Llevo mucho tiempo usándola y me ha ahorrado mucho dinero vigilando precios. Funciona de 10 y con buen soporte de ayuda.
- (2022-12-06) Pat MySecret: Very interesting.. Monitors and has some CSS capapility. Unfortunately, the site that I go to seems to dislike it, and boots me out every time the monitor checks. 6/2/22 Macro option requires paid subscription.
- (2022-11-30) Martin Kubirita: best Web site watcher, support is also perfect they help me when i wasnt know how to use something =)
- (2022-11-21) Arturo Vivó: Can't select email. Email/Select email/Manage List/Loading
- (2022-11-10) k: モニターとして優秀 課金金額も納得
- (2022-10-27) Richard Smith: Limited to only 25 items on your watch list even if you're using only your computer resources (non-cloud). Seems ridiculous that the software limits the number of items considering I'm not using your servers.
- (2022-10-25) Denny Lenselink: What an amazing extension! Tried the Website-Watcher application but this is far more convenient. Thanks.
- (2022-10-10) Zrck_069: 5 yıldız + 10 yüz bin milyon baloncuk
- (2022-10-07) Sergey M: На сайте DNS не работает, цены не обновляет, ошибка все время.
- (2022-09-15) Юрий Нагаевский: Все отлично работает
- (2022-09-05) Matt Bevis: Distill is an essential tool for anyone who needs to be the first one to know about anything changing on the internet. It's loaded with features you didn't even realize you needed until you get started using it. The best!
- (2022-09-03) blade height: 数ある更新チェッカーの類でベスト。チェック条件をGUIで細かく作り込める上に、自分のPCで走らせる事が可能なためフリープランでも使い倒せる。有料プランだと差分の履歴が見れるようになったり通知方法の選択肢が増え更に便利。
- (2022-09-02) V D: Does excactly what is needed, I hope to get the android version to further benifit from it.
- (2022-09-02) Jerome: The best one, and with a great support team !
- (2022-09-01) qwerty: Великолепное расширение, наверное самое лучшее из тех, которые я когда либо в своей жизни устанавливал. Расширение мониторит изменения выделенной вами области в сайте, либо всего сайта, и в случае этого изменения может отправить вам СМС на телефон, сообщение в дискорде, уведомление на телефон ну или банальное оповещение вас звуком на компьютер. Это произведение искусства сэкономит вам немало времени, если вы такой параноик как я, который в ожидании изменения на странице будет часами её перезагружать. Безусловно, расширение не идеально, и вероятно будет работать не на всех страницах.
- (2022-08-24) Eric Van de Kerckhove: Does exactly what it needs to do, no less, no more. Perfectly fits my purpose!
- (2022-08-22) 山岚: Why does setting Chinese not take effect? Still in English
- (2022-08-16) 许子健: 我太喜欢了,这样子就可以监视一些商品,我就能抢到货物了。
- (2022-08-13) hesham zaki: Like
- (2022-08-11) KIM YG: I've been using this add-on for three years. " Very simple to use yet very powerful fuctions " I'm more satisfied than the amount I paid. I never thought about changing to another add-on.
- (2022-08-10) iamduuc: Super Erweiterung, funktioniert und hat mir sehr geholfen!
- (2022-08-06) Darren Anderson: Works really well!
- (2022-08-04) Gonzalo Villagra: Excellent service, provides just what I needed for website monitoring, greatly recommended
- (2022-08-02) Stephen Hollabaugh: This extension provides exactly the service I needed.
- (2022-07-28) Florine C: Distill allows me to check when a website with closed subscriptions will open without checking it manually every day and I think it is so cool :)
- (2022-07-26) Syntax RTL: فوق العادس.
- (2022-07-20) Замир: После обновления 1.21.3 превратилось в тыкву - нельзя выделять область для автономной работы, только через облако, а там 2 домена. Часть функций урезали. Теперь не обновить отдельный проект, осталась 1 заныканная кнопка для обновления сразу всех проектов и остальные функции порезали. ПОДСКАЖИТЕ АЛЬТЕРНАТИВЫ, пожалуйста. Но хотя бы на 20 проектов, чтоб так же можно было мониторить.
- (2022-07-19) Vasco Maritini: Great extension! It helps a lot in tracking changes on the site. You can select only part of the page to track changes. Works without errors. Thanks a lot for such a great product! Now I really hope to get a link to use it as an Android application.
- (2022-07-12) Hanna Andriieva: Увы, абсолютно бесполезное расширение. Для проверки изменений оно обновляет страницу. В моей ситуации обновление страницы приводит к вылогиниванию из учётной записи, к тому же, нужная таблица прекрасно меняется и без обновления.
- (2022-07-11) Yaroslav Smirnov: So good for non-essential use. Free local and cloud monitoring. I can't ask for more.
- (2022-06-24) fed wal: J'ai essayé beaucoup d'extensions similaires et aucune ne marchait, j'utilise Distill depuis deux ans et je peux vous dire que c'est la meilleure et qu'elle marche à la perfection !
- (2022-06-22) Luke Marley: Can be easily setup to notify you of any change to any area of any website specified. 5 stars! *****
- (2022-06-18) Евгений Ковко: Great tool. Helps me a lot in my work. Also, I appreciate that I can spend my time and don't think about the stuff which can be automated. Thanks a lot!!!
- (2022-06-15) Kyle Briffa: Great service, great extension. Recommended.
- (2022-06-14) Jason Hsu: It's a neat app.
- (2022-06-13) Manuel Rivera: Distill has been a very usefull tool to check when an out of stock product become available so I could bought it as soon as it became available.
- (2022-06-06) Michael Mudd: An important certification exam for my profession will be offered in a few months. A pilot of the exam is being offered to the first 200 applicants, and those slots will surely fill up within hours of the registration announcement. I am using Distill Web Monitor to automatically check the testing websites for changes, so I will be the first to know and get my slot! I feel reassured knowing I will get an email, a text, and a push notification as soon as the test is announced. Now I can focus on studying for the test and stop worrying about jockeying for a slot.
- (2022-06-02) D Driesen: Cant beat this web monitor. Fore the price amazing and allows for sms message.
- (2022-05-28) Masa: one of the best notificaiton extension. thank you so much.
- (2022-05-25) Seth Weeks: Best extension of its kind available. All the others I have tried are no longer supported or lack the features of this extension. Hoping it continues to be maintained long into the future!
- (2022-05-24) Enrique Alonso: Una extención muy usada por mi, llevo años y me encanta
- (2022-05-21) Sebastian Zangaro: Just started using it and got a lot of 404 inside the extension. Latest version is bugged?
- (2022-05-16) Andrew Morey: One of my favorite extensions. Extremely useful options and ability to set a variety of conditions to reduce false notifications. I can't always keep an eye on sites when I'm working and Distill helps me not miss out. You can also monitor flights/hotel prices to get the cheapest price. So many uses.
- (2022-05-13) tye va: perfect works , i need android apps.
- (2022-05-09) Elke Kragl: funktioniert gut
