After you follow an item, Ookong will show you a chart of historical data. 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.
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.
If you try to use Ookong to follow a video game, a pair of shoes, a sweater, or for young mum, a pack of diapers, you may find you can not find “Follow this item” box at its usual place.
Why?
On these pages, Amazon provides user an interactive way to customize the item to improve your shopping experience, such as the game platform, clothes color and size, and item package size. This convenient feature interferes the normal function of Ookong.
