If you’ve ever wanted to get notified when the price for an iTunes item drops, this is your lucky day! In what follows, we'll show you how to set up an app called CheapCharts to follow the prices of apps, movies, and music on the Apple iTunes store.
On the long run, CheapCharts can turn out to be a real money saver for iPhone and iPad users who frequently purchase apps, movies, and music from iTunes. Even better, the app itself is completely free to download.
Step 1. The first step is to download CheapCharts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
Step 2. Launch CheapCharts once the app has been downloaded and installed on your device.
Step 3. Now tap the menu icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then tap the search button.

Step 4. In the search box, type the name of the app, game, movie, song, or book that you want to track for price drops.
Step 5. Tap the name of the app in the search results. This will open a detailed view of the app.
Step 6. Tap the 'Add to Wishlist' option in the upper right side.
Step 7. The first time you add an iTunes item to your wishlist, CheapCharts will ask if you want to be notified of price drops. Since that's the purpose of this tutorial, you might want to tap 'Activate'.
There you go, now each time that CheapCharts detects that one of the items in your Wishlist gets a price drop, the app will fire a notification.
