FAQ
Answer
Amazon Stock Tracker is a tool to monitor the in-stock status of products on Amazon for any country and notifies you with Voice, SMS, and Email alerts once new stock is detected.
Answer
The program was initially built using C# in Visual Studio 2019 using .NET 5 for Windows. Later versions now use Visual Studio 2022 with .NET 6 for Windows.
Answer
Notifications are triggered only when an item goes from Out of Stock to In-Stock, and not for the initial check made when starting the application. You can test to see if notifications are working by going to Tools > Test Notifications, and if there is an item in the list with an In-Stock status, you will get the voice notification along with any email and SMS services you have configured.
Answer
No, not at the moment. For now, the size of the application window is fixed, but I may change this in a future release.
Answer
On some Amazon product pages where there is more than one product option/variation to choose from, Amazon will randomly redirect you to one of the other options when one item goes out of stock even if you specified the correct ASIN. This strange behavior is not specific to any country, but when it does occur, Amazon generally corrects it within 48 hours, so there's nothing you can do until then.
I've installed the .NET Runtime as prompted, but the app still doesn't open. How can I make it work?
Answer
Make sure you are installing the .NET Desktop Runtime and not the .NET Runtime. There are several flavors on that download page, so it is easy to grab the wrong one.
