AppRaven: The iOS King
AppRaven is the best
when it comes to finding app deals, and wish-listing.
For years, I tried to find an app that would allow me to ease the process of wish-listing apps, or even keep track of their prices, but I couldn’t find one. Until I came across AppRaven.
Wallet Friendly:
This app boasts so many free features, that many users won’t need anything else. But if you’re wanting more, there is an option to pay for some more advanced features.
Share Sheet Action:
Say you find an app that you’d like to purchase from the App Store, but it’s too pricey. Luckily, there’s a share sheet action that allows you to easily open the app over in AppRaven. This takes a lot of steps out of the way, and makes it much quicker to add an app to your wishlist, which will then notify you if the price changes.
App Search:
If you don’t have the patience to wait, AppRaven has a large selection of user created collections to browse through, along with such a robust search feature, that it should be a piece of cake to find a good alternative.
AppRaven’s Community view has both:
- A constantly updated list of user comments
- And a list of Groups which contains a lot of different categories to discuss with people. This includes:
- A dedicated Bug Report group, that the Developer regularly responds to.
- A Feature Request Group
- And many more.
The Developer
Has been surprisingly responsive, and active on the app.
Now that I’ve gotten my thoughts out of the way, here’s the nitty-gritty details.
Let’s do a…
