Each user has a different method to follow the applications that interest him the most at any given time, but the price they offer at that time does not make them suitable for our pocket. Some users create lists in the Notes application and from time to time they check in the App Store to see if their price has changed, they are on sale or they have reduced their price. Others, as is my case, we usually make use of the wish list, an option that came to the App Store with iOS 7. The wish list is a list where we can add all the applications, games or songs that we are interested in buying, but for whatever reason, we are not interested in doing it at that time for whatever reason (price, size, purpose …)
The wish list allows us to only add applications, games or songs that are available through a purchase, not allowing us to add free applications, games or songs, thus limiting their real usefulness for many users. Thanks to iCloud syncing, we can access our wish list from our computer, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, which offers us enormous flexibility when it comes to always having the list at hand and quickly checking if they have dropped in price, for example.
The main problem with this function is that is unable to notify us at any time If the application, game or song that we have included in it, has suffered a variation in its price, which makes this function useless for many users. Hopefully Apple ever remembers this function and adds a notification system that allows us to be informed at all times of the changes they undergo.
Access your wish list from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Accessing the wish list is a very simple process and it will hardly take a click. First of all, we must access the App Store icon. Once we have opened the App Store we go to the top right of the screen and click on the 3 horizontal lines that are shown. Then all the applications that we have included in our wish list will be shown, where we can buy or eliminate them.
Add items to wish list
As I have commented above, in order to add an application to the wish list, this must be paid. Once we are in the application that we want to add, we must go to the share function, located in the upper right part of the screen and select Add to Wish List.
Delete items to wish list
To remove any application from the wish list, we just have to access it and swipe left on top of the application to later click on the Delete option.
Buy items to wishlist
If we want to buy any application from the wish list, we just have to click on the price of the application to display the Buy option and click on that option again. As we can see the process to buy it is the same as we do with any other application.
Access the wish list from a Mac or PC
To try to offer greater control over the number of games, applications and songs that we have stored in the wish list, Apple offers us the possibility of accessing the wish list from our PC or Mac through iTunes. To do this, we just have to go to the Account menu and click on Wish List. Below are all the applications that we have added since we started using it, offering us the ability to buy or remove any of them.
Add app, game or song to wishlist from Mac or PC
Synchronization between devices allows us to add or remove items from the wish list from any device associated with the same account, so that from our PC or Mac we can also add applications to this list. For this, we just have to click on the arrow next to its price and select Add to wish list.
As you say, if it does not notify you when the price drops, it does not make any sense, for that I use appshopper that for that if it works, you can also add an app for mac.
