BargainBin 3.0 First App With Push Notifications For App Store Price Drops
August 6, 2009
Today we released a very big update to OUR app, which was created after hearing requests from you, the readers of this site. We really want to know what you guys think and hope everyone takes a few minutes to check it out - and hopefully it will help all of you save a few bucks.
BargainBin, our real-time sales feed app that hopefully needs no introduction, has just been updated to version 3.0. This update includes one of the most useful features available in iPhone OS 3.0, push notifications, and the ability to keep track of apps via Watch Lists and Subscriptions.
We have always strived to make BargainBin the most easy to use and yet feature-rich bargain watching app in the App Store, and we believe v3.0 takes BargainBin to a whole new level thanks to push notifications.
When you launch BargainBin, you will notice that it still has the same intuitive interface with the ability to check for bargains in specific categories or just for popular apps, but now BargainBin has two important new features.
We added a Watch List section and Subscriptions. You can add apps you're interested in to The Watch List and set the price you'd be willing to buy it at. When the app meets the price you set or drops below, BargainBin will notify you through push notification. No more missing out on great deals!
Don't have a specific app you want to watch? That's fine. At the bottom of the Watch List there is a section for Additional Notifications where you can get Subscriptions. You can select Popular apps, or if you are really appsessed, yes I made that up, just select All. By selecting All you will get any and all apps that drop in price.
We have worked extremely hard on BargainBin 3.0 so you never have to miss out on another app bargain again. We appreciate all of the support everyone has given us up to this point.
Now we want to hear from you so we can make this app the best it can be. Please feel free to leave comments in iTunes telling us what you think of v3.0 and what we can do to improve it.
BargainBin 3.0 is FREE and available now in the App Store !
