A Comprehensive Review of the Fanatical Assistant: A Top Chrome Extension for Shopping Deals

it used to work really well, but lately its been failing to sync, and when i resync it only works for a short time before it fails again

Actually its not working, and its sending tracking data, i didn't like it.

You know for what.

Notifications are intrusive and there is no (easy) way to manage them. It's like intentionally subjecting yourself to advertisements. Their store is decent - and sometimes there are deals on there that are not found elsewhere, so that's worth checking out - they need to figure out how to sync your wish list without an extension... and a way to sync your library. Anyway, avoid this unless you like get spammed by pop-ups all the time.

It's Fanatical's assistant. Not YOUR assistant. I was kind of hoping it would do something for me, and in exchange, I was willing to put up with a little bit of "here's this on fanatical!" Mainly, justify its existence as a plugin on every page I go to beyond just being a 'fanatical button' I can click on at a moment's notice as if I need any more grease to buy more games. Maybe tell me some sales history of the page I'm looking at on Steam. Maybe tell me that I own this game before I buy it on epic. SOMETHING. Instead it's just a search page for fanatical and I already go there pretty often if I've gotten as far as installing the plugin.

This extension has saved me some money when I have been looking at games to purchase on other sites, although it doesn't always beat the deal listed. I have not seen any special offers come through the app that are not already on the site so I am not sure about that. The only issue that I have experienced with syncing to my Steam wish list is that it does not update automatically. There have been times in the past when I would purchase (or get free) a game that is on my wish list from a different site (be it Steam or another) that I would get email notifications the very same game is on sale. The only way to update it is to go through the whole sync process every time.

It is useful to know if they have a lower price than the current website I am visiting. With that been said, there is a better option to know who has the lowest price across all websites.

it goes quite well it gives the facility to pass your wish list of steam, that is a great plus point.

Now the Steam Wishlist synchronisation is fixed; this app is perfect !!!

It works pretty well and allows me to keep my wishlist on Fanatical well updated, which has essentially made it my go-to store for Steam keys. I just wish it could realize that certain games I already have in my Fanatical wishlist are the same ones they keep readding from my Steam wishlist are only there because I can't add the more complete bundles to my Steam wishlist in the first place.
