Never miss a steal on Facebook Marketplace again. Scout instantly alerts you about products you're interested in, saving you hours spent scrolling and refreshing for new listings.
I'm excited to share Scout, an app I built to solve the pain of constantly missing great deals on Facebook Marketplace.
Marketplace notifications are notoriously unreliable — they just don’t work. Every good deal disappears fast, forcing you into an endless loop of repeatedly refreshing, hoping you won't miss out. I experienced this frustration myself, and knew there had to be a better solution.
Here's how Scout helps:
⚡️ Instant, reliable notifications the moment your desired items go live. 🎯 Powerful filters: set must-have or ignored keywords to cut out irrelevant results. 👀 Preview matching results upfront — so you know exactly what notifications you'll receive. 💻 Native iPhone, iPad and Mac apps with seamless syncing, so alerts reach you on any device. ✨ Beautiful, minimal design optimised for simplicity and ease.
Scout saves you time, frustration, and ensures you never miss a great find again.
Especially curious to hear how Scout can make your Marketplace shopping better!
