    I use appsniper, usually multiple times, during the day. I've tried out PandoraBox and Bargain Bin, and just didn't feel like they offered the same quality in functionality that I had been accustomed to w/ appsniper. My money is still on appsniper for being the most complete package for hunting down apps on my iPhone. I like being able to limit my results to items in the Entertainment and Game catagories and seeing ONLY those items when I start up w/ appsniper!!! That being said - the others are free, compare them to the lite version of appsniper, and make up your mind about which works best for you.

    I like pandora better then any one of the others, its a lighter app and doesent crash from time to time.
    Appsniper is to slow and heavy.
     
  4. I have appsniper got it when it was a $1. It's nice does crash occassionaly that's why I wanted manual resync since it would reset # of new apps since last viewed which they did enable.

    Think it was only a matter of time I believe they can get 5% commission on each sale so that might be more lucrative than selling it for a $1 so if you can get a mass userbase using these tracking apps it might be worth it.

    Will try out Pandora soon..currently it appears there server is down so unable to give it a spin.

    I have both AppSniper and Pandora Box.

    AppSniper currently has way more features than Pandora Box. We can 'snipe' and we can monitor the graph of price rollercoaster.

    That said, Pandora Box offers a much better experience. It's fast, light and more polished. I'm not too sure about the icon though. I generally hate 'unique' icons that doesn't follow the standard shape, it makes my screen looks ugly. But then AppSniper has an ugly icon too.

    I wouldn't mind comparing the two again once Pandora Box update comes out.
    There's only 1 room for this kind of apps in my iPhone, and for the moment it's AppSniper.

    I was about to post something exactly like what you said lol. Except for the ugly icon for pandora box...

    But yeah appsnipers layout to me is much worse and its slower, plus a lame icon, but it still beats pandora box in information, and thats what really counts =)

    I didn't mean Pandora Box icon is ugly, I just hate weird shaped icons like Pandora's, AS', or The Quest's. It makes my screen look ugly. I prefer the standard rounded square, there's a lot you can do with it to make it cool and stand out without having to play 'dirty' (with custom shape).
