Saved search notifications

[FelicityT]

I’m sorry if this has been discussed already although I have searched for any mentions. I have a number of saved searches that I get app notifications for but I’m getting constant notifications when there don’t seem to be any new sits. I trawl through them all, in case they are out of sequence, although my search preference order was ‘recent’, but I can’t see any newer ones. The same three appear at the top every time, and these have been around for days. I only want notifications if there are new additions. Has anyone else noticed this?

I receive searched save notifications almost hourly and more often than not they don’t show anything new and it’s very frustrating.

It could be the new ones reached 5 applications before I received the notification so are reviewing applications already.

The new sit filter hasn’t been working for a while so is of no use when doing my own searches.

Still awaiting an update from @Carla as Support seem to be unaware of the problem.

Me too, I’ve now removed x3 searches due to the irritation factor of repeated notifications……

Hello @Twitcher Sorry this has taken a bit of time. They are still working on the bug for the new filter so no updates just yet! As soon as they let me know there has been a fix I will make sure it is posted here

@FelicityT I also wonder if it is owners not selecting any of the first five and relisting triggers the same listing notification again. Also, owners can boost their listing as new if they have not got applications so you will see the listing repeated in an alert.

These are alerts I have noticed as a sitter but feel free to check with Membership Services as they are likely to know more and can view your saved searches to check all is as it should be

I did check with Membership Services.
I search for new sits anywhere in the world with no other filters applied

The responses can be found in this link

‘New’ sits

What is happening with regard to the ‘new’ sits filter? Firstly I thought sits only had the new label for 24 hrs. Over the last few days when I use the newest filter only 6 out of the first 24 sits I see are new. Some sits still appear to stay near the top for days even though they are not new.

@Twitcher Thank you, My apologies I meant for @FelicityT to check with Membership Services regarding their question

This! Like you, @Twitcher and @BonnyinBrighton I’ve also become increasingly frustrated with notifications from my 4 or so saved searches. Some issues I’ve noticed with “new search result” notifications:

• usually no new listings but get notifications 20-30 mins apart
• new listings buried below listings that appear top of the page for days on end
• “last minute” listings with dates far in the future

I’m about to cull down to essentials (rather than the “perhaps one day”) and if that doesn’t help, uninstall and reinstall the app.
