Addicted to the App Store? Spending way too much money on apps? AppSniper can help you!
Not only does AppSniper allow you to track which apps are on sale, but it also notifies you when apps you're interested in have met your price target.
Many developers drop their prices for only a few days or, in extreme cases, only a few hours in order to get additional sales and reviews. With AppSniper you can be guaranteed that you will never miss those great opportunities to pick up quality software at bargain prices.
The best part is that AppSniper will pay for itself with the first snipe or sale item that you buy!
We have a lot of fantastic new features planned for AppSniper, and will be actively updating it. If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to email us at support@manta.ca and if you find this app useful, please support us with a positive review.

Crashing again   4/21 Appsniper crashes again. This app has crashed multiple times on me since I first got it. I say to anyone who is thinking about buying this don't until all the bugs are fixed cause it's a waste of money.

Used to be 5 stars....   still crashes and won't load. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling. Now it is deleted off my phone, I would rather spend money than have this on my phone.
I just changed to one after days of crashing and not loading. I used to love it, but now I'm about to delete it. Fix it, and I'll change my review!!

Has become a disappointment.   I loved the first versions of this app, and used it daily. The latest version crashes constantly, making this app unusable. I hope the developers will be able to fix whatever issues are causing the problems, but I can't recommend this app right now.

Will pay for itself, but be sure to backup   This app will pay for itself the first time a snipe flags a desired app as on sale. I run it every morning to see what's new and interesting. (Of course, if you're not disciplined this will run up your iTunes Store bill as you lust after all the cool new apps that appear every day.)WARNING: I believe there is a bug in the 1.7 update that wipes out all of your existing snipes. Good luck remembering what they were. AppSniper has a function that allows you to backup your snipes. I recommend you do this every time you add a snipe. I had to delete a star because of this little glitch.EDIT: I did get this response from Manta Research in regards to this issue: "The app itself doesn't wipe out any existing data. The problem is that sometimes iTunes update process will erase the old directory and create a new one thereby getting rid of the old configuration files. This is why we put the "backup snipes to server" option in the config panel. This way it's stored on our server and if it's ever wiped out, you can restore it." I leave it up to you whether or not to accept this explanation.

Awsome app...pays itself off imediatly   This app has already saved me close to $5.00 in less than 3 days!!! I have downloaded many free and paid apps, and have yet to review a single one...until now. This is a great and very useful app!! The only request I would have is if it could update via Edge. A little buggy, but to me it is still a 5 star app. Once the bugs are fixed ( due to the new apple update) this is a 10 star app!!!

Awesome for app addicts   It's true, I can't help myself- I'm addicted to the app store. This is such a great program for appaholics!
I always knew I couldn't keep on top of all the new releases and it was driving me nuts. Not to mention, getting apps when they're free or on sale requires a LOT of vigilence. But no more! And once the keyboard thing is fixed, this will be perfect; I've given it five stars because the developer promises that fix is coming.
This pays for itself in terms of app savings, but I also find it more fun than many of the game and entertainment apps I've purchased. All in all, I'm thrilled with appsniper.

What the developers aren't telling you   Previously I was scouring the AppStore for new apps and apps on sale. AppSniper makes this FAR easier and I love it. However I have a problem with the fact that the developers of this great app are using affiliate links to apps when you click on "Buy" in AppSniper. An affiliate link is a link that generates revenue for a publisher, in this case Manta Research. So not only are they charging you 99 cents for AppSniper, but they also make a small percentage commission everytime you buy an app by clicking on "Buy" in AppSniper. I feel the developers of AppSniper need to be up front about their use of monetized links within AppSniper and it was only by careful observation (and the fact that I am an iTunes affiliate and make money the same way off my web pages) that I discovered this. I give AppSniper 4 stars for function and -3 stars for not disclosing they use iTunes affiliate links, so my final rating is 1 star. If the developers post a disclosure statement I will update my review. - AppSniper review by iTouchie
Great for keeping your eye on those "must have" apps   Ok, so I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I'm an App wh@r3. I keep trying to find the best prices on apps that have great reviews and functions that I may (or may not) use. This is THE PERFECT app for people like me. It let's me stay on top of the more expensive apps that I just can't bring myself to pay for... yet. When the prices drop to what I AM willing to pay for, I know it right away! Not only that, it keeps you updated on ALL new apps that get released from day to day, and ALL price changes from day to day. You can even turn off certain categories if you aren't interested in seeing updates for them (navigation, books, lifestyle, etc.). This is THE best app for staying on top of all those apps that you are keeping your eye on.For those of you who haven't figured it out, first thing you should do is turn the "3G/Edge" setting (under Config) to "ON". That will let you browse and get updates even when you are out of WiFi range. That should really be enabled by default, IMO.***My only wish is that they make it easier to sort/browse through the lists. The lists can be quite long and are not currently arranged in any specific way that I can see; not alphabetized or sorted by price. Hopefully this is something that will come in an update soon. But even without that, this is still the most useful app that I have! - AppSniper review by Fayde
Brilliant   At last a useful application. Finally an easy way to see new apps on appstore. Already I can see ones I've missed. Good work. - AppSniper review by ozziek
Pays for itself on first use   I normally look at 3 websites for iPhone app updates/deals. This is both a great concept and well-executed. Note that you should sync over WIFI the first time. - AppSniper review by ExNewt
My favorite, most useful app!   This is the best app in the iTunes store, period. It updates frequently to let you know new apps that have came out, that you may otherwise miss. The best part is the ability to mark apps you want to buy and the price you are willing to pay for them. When they get into the price range you want, it will show up under "snipes". Also, any app that changes its price will show up (I've gotten lots of apps that are on sale for free for a limited time). This app seriously has paid for itself 10x over and I've only had it 2 days. It's amazing. - AppSniper review by ItsAWonderfulLife
GREAT app, BUT...   ...it needs screenshots of the apps! I find myself going over to appshopper.com or in to iTunes to look at screenshots to make sure I'm interested in the app. If this app had screenshots, I'd give it TEN stars if possible. It prevents me from having to visit appshopper.com constantly. Thanks Manta Research for a truly awesome app. Now, just **please** add screenshots! - AppSniper review by imngeorgia
2 Minutes!!   I kid you not, this app paid for it's self in two minutes. Great app, very helpful and useful. Keyboard is the only thing. - AppSniper review by Solardic
Love It!!!   Except for the known issue of the keyboard, best app for a app addict like me !!!! I was always checking certain websites for info, now all in one place and can target specific apps. Very up to date with new and sale apps... Will never miss a cheap app again! - AppSniper review by Tizme
Useless   The prices are really delayed. Looks good, but needs maintenance on the prices. Have yet to snipe an app. Save your money. - AppSniper review by Joshposh9091
I'm Hooked   I love the idea of viewing these APPS all in one place, all on my phone and finding discounts to some I was going to purchase anyway, at full price. Somewhat addicting, isn't it? - AppSniper review by punkin puss and mushmouse
Even at a $1 it's probably not worth it and especially not at $2   It really needs to be able to save your current location upon clicking Buy to view app in app store. Each and every time you have to navigate to where you were before. Until then this is kinda just oh that's looks interesting better go hop on apptism.com so I can actually purchase a few things. This does have potential though and like the idea. - AppSniper review by mrbass.org
