I started using CPro+ on my IPad to do CL searches. With this app you can set searches to run automatically. Once your save search is set to run you then get a notice that a search found a new item. You can then go back into the app and run the search. All the items for the search are then display. But the nice feature of the app is the option to show only new items. So I can set a search for say "cans" and while the search may find 200 items for "cans" I can easily see which items are new since I last looked at the search. Makes it super easy to see the few items that get added everyday. And the app is intelligent enough to not count a previous item as new just because the poster "renewed" the ad.

Also what is nice is the app can search multiple CL areas at the same time. I usually search all the CL areas within about 150 miles of my home.

And contacting sellers is easy with the app. You can email, call, or text the seller by simply clicking their contact info in their ad.

Since I started using this app I think I have only used the web version of CL maybe 2 or 3 times in the last year. I can check all my CL searches (I have about 30) in 15-20 minutes each evening.
