Refreshinator - Auto Refresh - BatLabs LTD

Refreshinator - Auto Refresh
BatLabs LTD
Genre: Utilities
Price: £4.99
Release Date: January 25, 2016

Attention all web surfers! Have you ever found yourself stuck on a website, constantly refreshing the page in hopes of landing that elusive ticket or product? Look no further, because the Refreshinator is here to revolutionize your online shopping experience.

The Refreshinator is a powerful browser that allows you to automatically refresh web pages based on a chosen keyword or phrase. Select the word or phrase you want to change on the web page, and when it disappears or changes, the browser will stop refreshing and sound an alarm.

- Two search methods: "Refresh until the word appears" and "Refresh until the word disappears/changes."
- Adjust the refresh speed for optimal results.
- Implement auto-detection for page loading failures.
- Keep the iPhone or iPad from entering sleep mode.
- Set up an alarm for detecting page changes.
- Enable Incognito/privacy mode to prevent sites from tracking you with cookies.
- Utilize the Redirect Scheduler feature: Schedule Refreshinator to open the page at the exact sale release times.
- Introduce the Multi-tab refresh feature to refresh multiple tabs at once.

Now with Multi-Tab Refreshing, the new version of Refreshinator elevates your monitoring game. Open multiple tabs within the app, each refreshing independently based on the specified keyword or phrase. Not only can you track different pages, but you can also monitor the same page across multiple tabs simultaneously. Clone a tab with the exact setup onto a new tab using the Duplicate Tab Function, and revel in the consistency across your monitoring tasks.

Prepare for high-stakes online purchases with the Quick Fill function. Preload your details like name and payment information in the Quick Fill section, and when it’s crunch time, hit the "Copy" button to transfer this data to your clipboard. Breeze through form filling and stay ahead in the race, even on websites with restrictions against traditional auto-fill.

The Refreshinator also introduces the Redirect Scheduler feature, offering a seamless way to schedule and manage your refresh tasks more effectively. This tool is invaluable for keeping track of various sales or ticket release times, ensuring you're always ready at the right moment.

With the Refreshinator, you'll never miss a beat when it comes to sales or ticket releases. Whether it's a sneaker drop, exclusive phone sale, or music festival tickets, the Refreshinator gives you the advantage you need to make your purchase in time. Simply set the app to "Refresh until word disappears" and choose a keyword like "currently unavailable." The app will keep refreshing the page until the word disappears, indicating that the sale has started, and you're on the purchase page.

Ticketing sites can also be a real headache, with long waits in queue on a "holding page." But the Refreshinator is here to help! Set the app to refresh the holding page faster than you can, increasing your chances of getting through the queue and landing those coveted tickets. The Refreshinator has been used successfully in the Glastonbury ticket sale and resale, getting users through to the purchase area in as little as 3 seconds.

But the Refreshinator is not just for sales and ticketing. It's also the perfect solution for chat rooms and sports sites that don't automatically refresh with updates. Set the app to refresh the page at a frequency of your choosing, and never miss a chat message or game update again. And for those searching for a new job, set the Refreshinator to keep refreshing job listings until your dream job appears.

Upgrade your online shopping game and make your life easier with the Refreshinator. Get your hands on it today!

Transcend Theory - chris rogers

Transcend Theory
chris rogers
Genre: Utilities
Price: £12.99
Release Date: April 16, 2024

Transcend Theory:

This app is designed to generate random words.

What the app does:

The idea behind this app is to see if random formations of letters can create words and sounds of meaning. When you press the play button letters from an alphabet list will begin a random formation process at various lengths and intervals. These formations will be used to generate vocal sounds. Text transcriptions of these sounds can be used by turning on the Transcribe feature. The Filter feature of the app can be used to trim and "clean up" these audio clips to produce a more easily understandable interpretation.
The result of this process will produce random words and vocal sounds.

Settings:

In the settings you will find a voice speed slider that can be used to speed up or slow down the voice sounds being produced. The reverb audio effect can be used to create a more spacious sound. A text log will store any text transcriptions you receive. The filter strength option of Low, Medium, and High will determine the amount of the audio segments that can be removed before regenerating a new audio clip.

For entertainment purposes only.
