On November 6, a new version of the iGuides application appeared with the long-awaited discount section in the App Store. Now users will be able not only to read high-tech news, device reviews, analytics and other familiar sections, but also find out information about price reductions for games and applications. Notifications about discounts, as well as the algorithm for compiling lists, are implemented for the first time in a Russian-language news application, so there is still a lot of work, pleasant changes and new functions ahead. In the meantime, we decided to compare the new iGuides with four popular discount services: Appsfire, AppShopper, AppRus and AppZapp.
A special feature of Appsfire is that it compiles its own application ratings so that the user can be confident in the quality. All programs and games receive a score from 1 to 100 points depending on popularity, number of downloads, and reviews. Appsfire offers information about daily discounts, app store news, themed collections of apps, discounts by category, as well as interesting apps found by users. In addition, you can create a favorites list with interesting applications or a wish list so that the service notifies you about price reductions for programs and games of interest. All this is presented in a customizable ribbon interface, where the user can add to the screen what is interesting to him.
Social functions;
Ability to hide uninteresting feeds.
Flaws:
Not user-friendly interface;
Probably the most famous discount service is AppShopper. Unfortunately, it was left without a mobile application, and the only client for iPhone, due to App Store requirements, was made with an emphasis on social functions and does not offer such convenient tools for searching for applications as the browser version. However, everyone who is not averse to learning about discounts in Safari should be attracted by applications for iOS and Mac, division by category and popularity, information about new products, updates, programs and games that have become free or are being sold at discounts. It's also convenient that you can RSS subscribe to interesting AppShopper news feeds and create a wish list to receive notifications about price changes for certain applications.
Advantages:
New products and application updates;
RSS subscriptions to interesting channels.
Flaws:
There is no mobile application.
The service, developed by our compatriots, offers a database of Russian-language applications, which allows you to be aware of changes in the cost of programs and games that are not in the American App Store. The application contains notifications about price reductions for applications of interest, a news section and application reviews, recommendations from other users, its own tops and additional categories. Unfortunately, there are complaints about the stability of the application, and the interface leaves much to be desired.
Advantages:
Russian App Store database;
Synchronization with the AppRus.ru service;
Flaws:
Ugly interface;
Lots of unnecessary functions;
Unstable work applications.
The AppZapp service is the most advanced of all. With it, you can find out about price changes, view top lists, read comments from other users, app reviews, and much more. Overloaded with features, AppZapp will be a great assistant for a person who tirelessly monitors changes in the App Store and wants to receive as much information as possible. There are 11 categories in the top list, and 13 criteria in the discount information, not counting the App Store categories.
Advantages:
Information about Mac applications;
Social functions are well developed;
Flexible settings.
Flaws:
Excessive number of functions and search criteria;
Outdated interface.
Even though searching for discounts is not the main function of the iGuides mobile app, it does this task well. With the caveat that we are talking about undemanding users. The application has a general list of programs and games at reduced prices, a wish list for receiving notifications about discounts on applications of interest, and a search by category. Not so much compared to specialized services, but there is everything necessary information. Some may write this down as a disadvantage, others will like the simplicity and convenience when you don’t have to rack your brains on how to properly configure the service and understand dozens of menu items.
