WhatsApp is currently free for those interested. Also TweetBot on offer as well for 69p

I find AppShopper a great program for tracking this, usually add what I want to their wish list and as soon as they are on offer get a push notification and an email letting me know which is very handy.

Indeed, I had it alert me today that Bastion has now dropped to 69p as I already had it on my wishlist. Very handy feature if there are a few apps that you have your eye on.

What is AppShopper? When you search for it, it brings up something by Apple Sliced. Is this the one?

Looks like it's been pulled

Didn't realise it has been pulled, could do with an update though as on the iPhone 5 it doesn't fill the screen up. A few weeks ago like nothing decent was showing up so was wondering if it had stopped tracking all the apps! Some of the UK apps are missing but overall a very handy app!

Especially for cheapskates like me

A few weeks ago even thought i had like £90 on my iTunes account I refused to pay £1.99 for Rayman Run and my mate was like wtf is wrong with you. I said it is about the principle, got it got 69p yesterday so feel a lot better about myself now

Anyone know of a decent Wifi Analyzer for iphone? One that shows channels/strength etc?

I know Apple pulled a lot of them, is that still the case? I cant find anything that looks like it does such a thing.

I used to have Wifi Analyzer for my jailbroken 4S, but cant find a decent one on the itunes store.

I'd have suggested Wififofum but it's also been pulled from the iStore and lacks support for the latest iOS.

Enjoyed Pudding Monsters the new game from the creators of Cut The Rope. Fairly simplistic but has the same slick style as Cut The Rope. Really good game for 69p.

Apologies guys, I know this will have been asked before but apart from TomTom what SatNav software is best? I don't mind paying but don't want to pay the TT prices!

This may sound silly but have you tried google maps?

aj_4176 · 3 Jan 2013 at 11:02

I am using CoPilot and have been pretty happy with it. Also tried Google Maps navigation which is as robust as your data connection.

Morfik · 3 Jan 2013 at 14:07

I'd give Google Maps a try first and see if you're happy. The maps are up to date and if you don't know an address you've got Google Search to help. It even includes traffic for free which you have to pay for with other apps like CoPilot or TomTom.

Only issues with it are some of the fancy features like speed limits, speed cameras, lane indicators aren't present.

I've been using the mapQuest app and have had absolutely zero issues with it. It's turn by turn navigation and even alerts you while the screen is locked.

To top it all off, it's free!

Is that a US app?

Google maps was awful imo

Guys, I want to stream files on my PC over to my iPhone.

Which app do I use?

Airvideo for just video or PLEX if you want everything. I run both but rarely use anything other than Plex.

Can someone tell me what the app is that translates foreign languages on the fly. i.e. you hold your phone's camera over a menu in French and it superimposes the English over it.
