Appspy.com – Track iPhone Apps and Save

Posted on 09 March 2010 by


If there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s wasting money.  It’s happened to me too many times to count.  I buy at hot new application for my iPhone in the iTunes App Store, the day it gets released and then a few weeks later see a tweet that the same application I purchased is now available for half what I paid or worse, it’s free.

There are a few applications for the iPhone that allow you to track when apps go on sale or become free, but that means I’ve got to load yet another application onto my already crowded phone.

AppSpy.com is a web site devoted to tracking iPhone OS applications, specifically games.  You can log into the site and tag games for tracking.  You’ll then be alerted when the price of the app drops or goes on a special one day sale etc.  Once you complete the free registration process notification on your apps come in the way of an e-mail alert.

If you don’t wish to tag any games, you can simply browse the list of prices drops that the site presents each day.

In addition to the tracking service AppSpy also features reviews so you can read up on potential game purchases and get advice from other users.  The site promises up to six new game reviews each day, including video reviews as well.

So if you’re tired of over-paying on games for your iPhone or iPod Touch, head on over to AppSpy and starting tagging.
