How can I view the current price of an app I've previously purchased?
I want to view the price of Cut The Rope 2 on the iOS App Store. However, because it's an app I've already purchased, the price listing has been replaced with the "redownload" button.
Is there a way to view the current price of an app I've previously purchased?
Solution 1:
The best place I have found for this information is AppShopper.com. They list all of the current apps on both (iOS, Mac) app stores. They track the current price as well as the price history and update history for the app.
Solution 2:
iTunes
Your question is tagged iOS, but if you’re open to using a computer with iTunes, the simplest way is to find the app in the iTunes App Store.
Right-click it, then Copy Link
. Paste the link into a browser, and you will be taken to an iTunes Preview page listing the price of the app.
iOS
You can also copy the link using the Share
button on the app’s page in the App Store. However pasting that link into Mobile Safari will prompt you to open the App Store. Cancel
won’t produce the iTunes Preview page, so you'll need to paste that link into another browser (possibly macOS Safari, through Continuity).
Note: Links from the iOS App Store’s Copy Link
command are prefixed with the name of the app. You’ll need to edit it out after pasting it into a browser.
Search
Lastly you could simply use an online search engine to find your app in the App Store:"Cup the Rope 2" site:itunes.apple.com
The quotes should help bubble your exact app to the top, then you can view the iTunes Preview shown previously.
