This is the best app ;-)

Really love having this. It's a must-have.

So crazy that BB World still doesn't have a sale section!

This is how you CB10, son!

[ralphlauren27]

Love the app, however it does not update the sales list at least for the last 4 days. Anyone with the same issue? Developer, please advice!

[Tingeltangelbob]

I see no update since 7 days. That's sad, because I use the app in a regular basis.

There is another app from S4BB Limited called App stalker, but I don't like the apps of this company. It always looks like advertisements and copies of other apps, but that s my opinion.

It seems that the dev has abandoned the app: it has some major bugs (scrolling the list for example) which still haven't been fixed. It also lacks displaying the screenshots, dates of app updates etc. Too bad such important for every ecosystem app is left in dust. I also don't like S4BB and therefore don't use corresponding app from them at all.

Seems to work for me. Here's screenshot just taken:



Maybe there were just a few days where nothing went on sale.

Ok, now it's working for me too. Hopefully a temporary problem.

Until now I haven't had any issues with scrolling...

Nonono, I have both apps, this one and S4BB App stalker installed.
So, there were a lot of price slashes during a week of AppShopper's silence.
Now it's working indeed.

On the other hand, at the moment I see the silence on the S4BB App stalker.....
Weird situation. I do not know how these two apps are parsing and collecting the data from AppWorld, but there are definitively some flaws...
Maybe BB changed something on Appworld, but since the apps are not updated for ages, guess it will be some kind of hit and miss :-( Shame......

[ralphlauren27]

Now it's completely pulled out of the AppWorld ?????

Got this one:
"Unknown item
The requested item does not exist or is not available. (EC )
To return to the home page please click here"

Besides, installed app does not fetch anything anymore.... Really Dead???

[harkal]

Yes, I suspended the apps operation about a month ago, after the announcement of blackberry moving to the Amazon Store as a primary source of apps... sorry.

I suggest you try appstalker as an alternative.

[ralphlauren27]

OMG...
Too bad such important for this particular ecosystem app has gone.
I think a lot of people here are interested in native experience rather than android apps.
Can't really see how the adoption of Amazon store is affecting the AppWorld experience.
But it's your app and your decision. Just know that App shopper is always welcome back!
And thanks a lot for devoting your time to the app and for the clarifications in thread !

[santhoshmanikandan]

Harkal, people always like native apps. The official support by Amazon is just to show that BlackBerry 10 platform has more apps than competitors like windows phone

And not to be too harsh on S4BB, but their apps are so covered up with them trying to make money it's awful.

The overflow menu is packed trying to get you to promote their app, it pushes notifications for their apps to your hub, it asks you to sign up for emails from them, there are in-app purchases, etc. I haven't used an app from them that I actually enjoyed.

At least their apps work well...

I only use apps in BlackBerry world.

Powered by BB10

[moegh]

It's like app stalker
I'll try it thanks man

Q5-10.3.0.700

[Elite1]

Ditto.
I much prefer the UI of Smart App Shopper compared to App Stalker by S4BB.

I was sad to see the dev Charilaos Kaligarou pull support for this one.
Still have my fingers crossed that maybe he'll reconsider...

There are app Settings to disable the super-annoying Hub notifications of App Stalker, just in case you didn't realize.

I have enjoyed S4BB's "Search for..." apps, such as Search for iMDB.

Unless I missed it, BlackBerry only said they are partnering with Amazon to bring their app store to BB10. Where did they say that the Amazon app store will become their "Primary source of apps"? Most people will still choose native when available. In fact, if the Amazon store makes more people consider BB10, it could result in more BB10 users and more people taking a look in BB World.
