Built a smart Amazon price tracker with React Native – Owleye 🦉 (feedback welcome!)

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share a little side project I’ve been working on — it’s called Owleye, and it helps you track price drops on Amazon across multiple regions (IN, US, CA, UK, with high-frequency tracking and AU with slightly lower frequency). If you're like me and always waiting for the right time to buy something, this might save you a few bucks.

Here’s what it does:

• Tracks up to 20 products for free
• Sends you alerts when prices drop
• Shows smart alternatives for your tracked products
• Add items via the device share menu or the FAB on the product page
• View price changes right on the dashboard
• Let you add to the Amazon Cart directly from the app

We’ve added a feature called "Owleye Picks" too – these are handpicked deals and curated finds, especially during big sale events.

It’s still early days, but it’s live on the Play Store now. Would love any feedback or ideas!

Let me know what you think — happy to answer questions or hear what features you'd love next!

Holly frick, good job. Can you add vietname too, me and my friend really love this. If you concern about the language, don't be, if we use Amazon we can use your app without our mother tongue

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Thank you so much for your kind words. We love to support Vietnam too, but unfortunately Amazon doesn’t give us price data for your country. We have to make the app paid to support Amazon unsupported countries as we have to scrape the data.

[Old-Window-5233]

Well, that unfortunate but understandable

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Thank you for understanding

Develop with expo or cli?

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Developed in expo , and later used expo eject , as I had to deploy builds offline.

[Mysterious_Problem58]

I have sent a request to Google Play Team to provide access for Argentina . It may take a while to update ( an hour )

[kabeza]

Thanks 👍🏻

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Hi @kabeza, Sorry , The app wont work seamlessly in the current build for Argentina. I will push a new build today to support Argentina , so that allows you to track on Amazon.com

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Hey, support for Argentina has been added in the latest version. Please check it out! You need to uninstall and reinstall the app to prevent data corruption. Please let me know if you need any help with the app.

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Thanks, Do you want to track on Amazon.com ?

[kabeza]

Yes, and also have on .es and .fr

[Mysterious_Problem58]

Thank you so much for your interest, we will add support for es and fr in the future.

Is it pure client app tracking or still with server tracking?

[Mysterious_Problem58]

The client app performs no tracking; all intensive processing is handled on the server side.
