Won't work behind a firewall
claude.frank- Pros
- In theory this is what I want but...
- Cons
- Doesn't have a place to set your proxy settings so forget about using this at work.
- Summary
- Doesn't work at the office. Big fail!
As of 9/10/10 program does not work
saltraker- Pros

- Cons

- Summary
- Doesn't work.
does not work
barbaralorraine- Pros
- Can't say --- program doesn't work....
- Cons
- an error is causing this program to fail on searches because of a change in Amazon.com code. apparently, according to the orangleblue.net website (owner of software), the problem won't be fixed.
- Summary
- It looks like it use to work and had happy customers...but, since it no longer works, I would recommend not even downloading it unless you have the knowledge and time to fix the problem yourself.
Does not work
montegobay408- Pros
- Tried to use - can't even get the 1st search working. See below.
- Cons
- Just downloaded it - I get error "The request must contain the parameter Signature." just trying to search for my Viesa HDTV. No idea what this error means. The author's website has many complaints about this issue by posters but no answers.
- Summary
- Unless there's some answers, I don't recommend downloading it. Don't know what CNET editors rated it 4 stars.
Developer’s Description
By OrangeBlue
Amazon is known for its huge product catalog and information content on products. Amazon PriceWatcher makes searching more comfortable by enabling fast access to the amount of data of all Amazon stores (US, UK, Germany, France, Canada and Japan) in one compact user interface. Here from you are able to search in nearly all categories (Books, Popular Music, Classical Music, DVDs, Software, Video Games, Electronics, and Apparel). The advantage is that you have an overview of all current prices at Amazon and you can buy your favorite product as soon as its price falls below an adequate price.
Version 2.1.3 Bugfix: Cached product images would not be recognized due to a change by Amazon.
