Genius idea but once again ruining the way the app store should work for that 59p fight for the top
Been using this for a long time.
Sometimes the store bugs out and the information isn't accurate, hopefully it's still being updated.
I have found many apps through this one single app though.
Downloading now
Thanks for the love guys! We worked hard on the updates. Please let us know what you'd liek to see by leaving a review in iTunes and we'll try to get everything you ask for!
I have a question, Mahmoud.
Rather than setting a specific price for when I get a Push Message... I would rather be notified when ANY price change happens in general. Is this possible with the current version?
Also, I would like to be notified when an app on my watch list gets an update.
Any future plans?
when was the slingplayer $14.99?????????
Hey Josh,
In the the new version you have to set a "watch price" for a specific app. You can always set the watch price for just under the current price, and if it goes on sale at all, you will recieve a push notification. Alternatively, you can setup subscriptions, and ask for a push notification of every price drop in the App Store if you so choose.
Also, we are working on adding pushe notifications for app updates. It's on our list for future plans. Good to see it's important to you, I will take it into account. Thanks
Michael,
SlingPlayer has never been on sale. The $14.99 you see is my "watch price." If it ever hits this threshold, I will be pushed an alert!
Mahmoud,
Awesome, thanks! The method for setting the price just under the current one is how I set everything up currently. I was hoping that it would still notify me if the price went BELOW what I set it at. So that's perfect.
Glad to hear my second suggestion is planned in the future!
Thanks a ton for the reply, I appreciate it! I have got to update my iTunes review of this app now. Keep up the great work!
After update notifications feature i can delete AppMiner
And appadvice.com is on my everyday checklist.
I always wondered why Apple didn't build a push notification into the app store with 3.0. I'm glad to see this app will be picking up that slack soon. This is a great app and a great implementation of Apple's PNS!
@ Mahmoud are you going to include uk prices soon, it isn't too hard you could keep the usa app data but change to the uk equivalent
Sorry for the offtopic, but anyone has a clue on what kind of iphone case is that in the video? thanks.
Please add UK store soon!
I also would like to see the UK store like Nez
I searched the app store and nothing comes up under bargain bin or bargainbin. The iTunes link said it was not found as well. Is this app still available? A google search hasn't shown me where to get the app, only shows sites discussing it. Thanks in advance for your help.
looks like BargainBin is not available in any store at the moment...
