We are like a search engine - we can't find something that retailers don't want to show. That being said, according to our stats less than 1% of items scanned by our users come back 'product not found'. So what are you scanning? We don’t have a database.

Either it was too long or censored. In the case of ShopSavvy and some others, aTrackDog gives the user a CHOICE of downloading from the Market or a developer web site. The Market option will not allow you to install the "newer" version because there isn't one posted to the market. If they opt for the web site then they're on their own. DiskUsage currently shows version 1.0 in the Market but aTrackDog shows 1.3.1 available. If you go to the developer web site you'll find 1.0. I shrug it off as an error and move on. If it's not in the Market I don't download it. And I sure as hell am not going to post my mobile number to download 3.0.5 beta of ShopSavvy. I say no to marketing calls and e-mail spam. Seems like users do not know how to make their own informed decisions. Maybe they shouldn't be playing with software because they may hurt themselves. Now where exactly is the update button in ShopSavvy? Of the 77 applications I've downloaded from the Market maybe five have some update "feature" and most of it was telling me to go to the Market to get the latest update. Why should I go to 77 individual apps and try to find updates? I can try and go to the Market and sort all apps by date and wade through until the last time I think I had an update. aTrackDog serves a real purpose because the lack of an "official" Market version tracker. Either the Market needs to implement one or require every application maker to include one if they are going to distribute software via Market. aTrackDog is doing a service to G1 users out there. There have been only two apps that had "problems" with versions and I made my choice by ignoring them. Now if ShopSavvy could give me accurate and up-to-date pricing for on-line and local products, and include lots more products instead of getting the dreaded product not found that many often get... Maybe the folks at ShopSavvy should take their advice to aTrackDog and verify all their database pricing prior to presenting it to G1 users. I like ShopSavvy and use it with it's limitations. Just glad it's free because it's not something I'd pay for. The reason for my reply is because of the tone of aTrackDog: Good or Bad Idea? post. Someone seems to be pissed because they have lots of (l)users complaining to them. aTrackDog no longer offers ShopSavvy 3.0.5 as of this posting. Happy guys?
