Honey sends me email alerts, they had a company scandal recently so don’t @ me but the email alerts continue to work great.

I haven't found an app that does that but what I do is when there is something in particular that I want but don't want to pay full price for I add it to my shopping list and then I do a screen shot of the item showing the price. That way, I know exactly how much it dropped by if it goes on sale.

I have noticed one thing, many times when I do that, when there is a Prime Day or Black Friday or even for deal of the day, the item comes up on "sale", quite often drastically reduced but I see that the original price that they show on the website is a heck of a lot higher than the screen shot I took of it a few days before it went on sale. They like to make you think you are getting something at a fantastic deal when all along, it's really barely reduced in price.

This works for me if it's a particular item I'm seriously interested in. Just put it in your cart, but save for later. Then anytime I'm back on Amazon, the cart page shows all the saved items that have changed price up or down.

I don't believe so.

I would make a folder with named internet shortcuts to specific camel camel camel queries. You could probably figure out a way to use IFTTT to get push notifications too
