Has promise but is unusable in its present form

I want to start this review by saying that I think there is a need in the App Store for user-friendly interface with Amazon and in particular tracking product prices over time. Given that this is a newly released App I purchased it knowing it would probably have some problems to work out. Well, it does have problems. So much so that for me it is unusable.

The first problem is that the interface is not intuitive and there is no help documentation. Clicking "PriceTracker for Amazon Help" under help in the menubar results in a dialogue box with the message: "Help isn’t available for PriceTracker for Amazon." Also in the help menubar is a link to the developers website, but no instructions there, either.

The second problem is that there is no way to search for items on Amazon from within the App. To add an item, you must manually enter the Item Code from Amazon (ASIN or ISBN-10). Though Im a frequent shopper on Amazon, I had no idea where to find this information. I browsed the an items page on the website and couldnt locate it. Eventually I noticed the string ASIN in the URL and copied and pasted it into the app. The first time I did this it didnt work. The second time it did. So, it can add an specific item and track its price moving forward (it doesnt give price history information). But this function is rendered useless to me because its a pain to search for items in my browser, get their item codes, and enter them into the app one by one. What I had expected was a search function like the one offered in the free Mac Store App "PricePirates", and of course the ability to add items to a track list from within the app.

Relatively minor, but would be nice to see as features
- view information about price history
- set price alerts as a percentage of the current price (rather than a fixed amount) and have a default percentage that can be applied to all items entered

In any event, I look forward to checking out an update.

My initials are BS about PriceTracker
