What’s more, Ookong will follow its price update and notify you right away when its price drops.

You will see a notification like the following one out of the bottom right of the screen.

price drop notification

You can click on the link and buy the item right away. Or click on any area of the window without links, Ookong will think “Oh, you have known the price drop. I won’t annoy you any more unless I find new drop”.

If you leave it alone, the window will disappear in several seconds. Ookong will remind you again in one hour, in case you are not in front of the screen or you don’t see the notification.
