Apple iPhone App Store has more than 25,000 apps. Hundreds of apps get released, updated or change their pricing every single day. How do you find the app that you are looking for and get it for less ? You obviously don’t want to buy an app for full price and discover that it is available for free the next day.
If you want to keep track of the latest changes on the app store and be updated when your favorite apps get updated or the price gets revised, you have the following options :
On the web : Use a web-application called ‘AppShopper’. AppShopper tracks all changes happening on the App Store for you and you can see the changes on their website or subscribe to them in RSS format. The cool thing here is that you can subscribe or search to see what interests you. You can either see all new apps or updates or price changes and you can even filter these events by free and paid apps. You can even subscribe to see the changes happening to that very special app you like.
Many apps drop their price periodically to boost the sales or promote their other apps or to get good reviews from new users. You can save cash by buying these apps on those days by subscribing to app price changes on this website.
On the iPhone : Download and use free applications like ‘BargainBin’ or ‘PandoraBox’. You can think of these apps as the app version of AppShopper website. You can see the latest apps, updates and those with price changes. You can just look for those apps that became free for few days or even get alerted when a specific app drops price.
I have saved more than $20 by using these apps to buy some of the iPhone apps I have on my iPhone. Sometimes I download an app for free when the price drops and delete it if I think it needs improvement. When the app gets an update and becomes useable, you can download it again for free even though it is not free now as you have already purchased it and all updates are free.
