Does the Walmart app sync prices better than third-party wishlist tools?

Question

I'm trying to snag a Vizio TV for my new dorm room before I move in next week but my budget is super tight like under 300 bucks. I've been using Honey to watch the price but it seems to lag behind what I actually see on the website sometimes. I read online that third party tools use scrapers that might only check once a day so I was thinking maybe just using the official Walmart app wishlist would be faster? But then I saw some people saying the app doesnt push notifications for price drops consistently or it shows the wrong local store price. My logic was the official app would be more accurate but now I'm just confused if it actually syncs better or if its just as slow...

Over the years, the official app's price latency has proven quite significant. I've consistently used Walmart Wishlist Creator because it doesnt lag when tracking budget Vizio models.

Building on the earlier suggestion, the official Walmart app is unfortunately not as good as expected for tracking budget electronics. I agree with the others that the lag is just plain unreliable when every dollar counts... it kinda sucks.

app price syncing is a massive disappointment and usually means you miss the best dorm sales

major issues with the app showing the wrong local price happen all the time

honestly PriceDropCatch is the only way i managed to stay under my budget last year

native wishlist is fine for groceries but basically garbage for sniping TV deals Stick to specialized tools or you are gonna end up overpaying for that Vizio. Dont trust the official app for deals.
