AppShopper 1.4: Top 200, App Ratings, Reviews, and more

Last week, Arnold Kim gave twitter a little preview of some new features and functionality of AppShopper 1.4 for iOS. The new update was just approved by Apple and now has features like Top 200 and App ratings. Other new features include:

  • Links to 3rd party app reviews like 148apps and TouchArcade
  • Automatically load apps when scrolling to the bottom of a list
  • New filters for search
  • Email notification settings
  • Disable push notifications during certain times of the day (Yeah!)
  • In-app AppShopper account registration
  • Share an app’s info via Twitter, Facebook, email and more
  • Various bug fixes

If you haven’t tried AppShopper yet, do yourself a favor and grab a copy. It’s free (ad supported) or has a one-time in-app purchase of $.99 to remove the ads. We at MacStories love it, recommend it, and use it everyday. AppShopper is a vital site (among some others) for gathering all of our @MacStoriesDeals. There are only a few things I would like to see in future updates: the ability to block developers that flood the App Store with too many sub-par apps and also adding Mac App Store deals! The update should be live now, here’s the direct link.
