AppZapp has saved me $$ - but search rarely works – AppZapp Notify - Personal Alerts for Apps on Sale & New Apps Review

The AppZap service does 3 great things for me: 1) Let’s me know when specific apps I want are on sale or free. 2) It lets me know when an app I like but think needs improvement is updated. 3) Allows me to browse a custom search of educational titles that have gone free so I can keep my kids learning while entertained without spending any money. They saved me so much I used patreon to donate a couple bucks to them on a regular basis. Unfortunately this app is so buggy it’s incredibly frustrating to use. The worst issue is search. I can’t use the app for the first 2 benefits I listed above if I can’t find the app I want to track. Searching for apps almost always results in an error. Not because I entered anything wrong, because sometimes if I just keep doing the search again and again it will finally work. It’s also weird that since right before ios11 was released logging in with Facebook doesn’t work. They have a message saying the app needs an update to work with FB, but where is the update? It’s been months now. The original AppZapp application was much more reliable and user friendly. In particular it had daily lists of best deals and new releases. I got a lot more use of the app when I was able to easily view those apps. I don’t really care about the FB login. But I do care about the search. Fix that and it’s 5 stars. Bring back the easy to find deals & new release lists and I’d give it 6 stars if possible.
