    ok, it does not work.

    however, i changed the store filter from UK > United States and it then shows.

    Monopoly is on the UK store, why does it not show on appsniper?

    Doh! My fault, I didn't know you were in UK, that would make sense then... Hmmm weird that it's in the UK appstore but not showing in appsniper, They could be doing an update or price change currently, That has been known to take a game off the store for a few hours -> a few days...

    How do you keep track of all the "maybe" purchases? I check appshopper for all the new stuff, but I use appsniper now to keep track of all my backburner purchases (Stuff I'm to cheap to buy currently)...

    I bought the app but ended up deleting it. The big omission for me was not including updated apps. I also didn't like being bounced out of the app when I touched "Buy" and then having to reopen Appsniper only to have to scroll through to where I was before I was bounced. I use Apptism to keep track of the price changes and also to follow apps I'm interested in.

    We said that it doesn't show updated apps. And I think it's pretty obvious that it sends you to the appstore to buy it when you touch buy. :confused:

    I find the problem with apptism is that anytime there's a new article on an app, a user review, no matter how old the app is, it jumps back to the front of the line/page.
    I find it to be a very disorganized website

    Hi jwbrent,

    Very sorry to hear that the app didn't live up to your expectations. We will be bringing out the ability to monitor updates in the next major release. Clicking buy necessarily takes you to the app store, but we are investigating bringing you back to the same spot in the list when you launch the app next time. Feel free to give it another try once we release the next version to see if it better meets your requirements.

    re: Monopoly

    We're investigating the issue of Monopoly. When we query the various stores, the only ones it shows up on is Canada and the US, which is why it gets filtered out if you select a different country's store. I suspect that it was launched with a different ID in the other countries, and we'll see if we can add that in.

    I didn't explain myself very well. I think I should just say that the functionality is not quite where I would like and I've gotten used to using Apptism, although it as its issues too, e.g., not using cookies to remember your login.

    Actually, I like this functionality since it shows me apps I may have missed that I would like. I have noticed position 3 on the latest activity page is always the same app. Probably a paid for service.

    Glad to hear about the pending changes; I'll definitely try it again when the update is out!
