Native iOS & Android app
Airbnb push notifications
Airbnb does not offer alerts for a saved search, so it will not tell you when a new listing, a cancellation or a price drop shows up for the trip you are planning. Alertstays does. It is a native app for iOS on the App Store and Android on Google Play that sends a real lock-screen push notification the moment a listing matches your Airbnb search, so you can book it before someone else does.
What arrives on your lock screen
Each push shows the listing name, the price for your stay, and the star rating with review count. A freed-up listing from a cancellation arrives with its reviews, a brand new listing has none yet, and a price drop is one you may already recognise, so you can judge it at a glance.
Tap it and you are on the listing. Book on Airbnb as usual. The same alert is also sent by email.
