    MrCharley: When you type in "bons" into the search bar, what do you see? I see "Bonsai Blast" and "Bonsai Tree". I just tried with the canadian storefront as well, and don't see a problem entering the snipe. VERY odd!

    If you'd like, you can email us directly at our support email address and we can help you work through this.

    rixm: I reproduced the problem right after I saw your post, but have not been able to get it to happen again. Do you still see this issue?

    Hey Manta Research,

    I just wanted to thank you here as well for taking the time to personally respond and addressing my concern via support email. The issue has been resolved, and now I'm able to snipe Bonsai Blast. All I need now is for it to go on sale! :)

    It seems to have been fixed with a simple reinstall of the app.
    I appreciate the other support options you had provided.

    Thanks again.

    Nothing changed till now. Still the wrong App History for BiiBall 3D.

    Hi Habakuk,

    Sorry we have been running into some issues with our history information and are working to resolve them. We've made changes which will improve this situation going forward, but there are still a few outliers like BiiBall which we need to address.

    I have had a number of crashes while using this. Tends to happen while im scrolling through list of new apps or on sale items. In one instance caused my iPhone to reboot. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Also noticed I cannot see SimCity since its been released. I have configured App Sniper with store filter set to Australia and to display pricing in Australia dollars. I tried searching for it in Snipes as well. As soon as I set the filter to US store then it appears. This app is definitely for sale in Aus as I can see it AppStore.

    It has crashed a couple of times on me, too.
    Every time it crashed I was on Edge, could that be why? :confused:

    Thats quite possible. As I have noticed while using the app in 3G. Maybe it only happens when using the cellular network not wifi.

    We have discovered some instances where we are not robustly handling the situation where there is a temporary connection drop, which can then lead to a crash. This is most likely to happen over 3G. Low memory conditions can also cause problems right now. A reboot is recommended if you're seeing odd behaviour or crashing to help free up memory fragmentation caused by other apps. We hope our next release will address some of these stability issues by handling these failure conditions in a more graceful manner.

    We also realize that there are issues with our current support for stores other than the US store. We are working to address this so that all stores will be correctly supported.

    Yes, I still get the problem every time I try to ban a developer.

    Currently my banned list has 1 entry "Ken Tortmaru" If I search from snipe, for "My" as in "My Boss" and attempt to ban this developer I get "This seller is already on your ban list"

    There is only one seller on my ban list and that's all I've ever been able to get on the list (doesn't seem to matter who the 1 seller is)

    If I delete the one and only entry I can add a new one but then the same cycle again. Can only add the one.

    I've uninstalled the app and re-installed it. No change. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to try them.

    Good luck, with the exception of the New Years eve sale there hasn't been much going on for the last month. I haven't seen a snipe since early December. Perhaps the app store market is starting to stabilize a bit. That would be good for the devs at least.

    As a small aside, I emailed the appsniper developers about adding a word filter so that we could filter out all those ridiculous farting apps and they said it is on their todo list.

    We are adding a feature for the next release that will allow you to monitor application updates as well.

    as much as i enjoy this app, which i do
    it appears that as soon as i purchased it a month or so ago, developers stopped with their price fluctuations, at least on the 30-40 apps i have sniped

    the logic of it paying for itself on the first snipe, has not occured yet, i am still holding my breath -haha

    but i do recommend the app, and enjoy it very much...plus it keeps getting better

    I love this app since it's faster to see the new releases than through the appstore app.

    Can't find app for sniping

    Anyone else having small issues with this app?

    Been trying to snipe Retro Cave Flyer, International Snooker, Save Benjis and Rolly.
    None of those apps appear when i try to search in AppSniper.

    Anyone else with this issue, or is it me?

    Thanks,

    Rob

    Try change your store location in the config menu. Also for retro thingy, try putting in 'retro' then looking through the results, worked for me :)

    Thanks Dan.

    I tried that, still nothing.

    When i type "ret" only retro Lite shows up.

    Maybe its some sort of a bug that will be fixed soon.
