Hi Keith, In addition to Sieghard's information, I find it useful to monitor the history of an app's updates. You can use either the AppAdvice web page or their iPhone app to find out this information under "App Activity", which is one of the options at the bottom of the page for their iPhone app. So if I'm using the iPhone app, I'd open the app, and either touch the bottom right corner or do a four finger tap on the bottom half of the screen to move to the last element on the screen, which is the "search" option. Then I would type "tunein" and double tap "search" in the bottom right corner of the virtual keyboard. The listed results will show Tunein Radio Pro, TuneIn Radio, and a few other matches, and will also tell you when there was last a change to price or version -- so you would hear "6 days ago" for TuneIn Radio Pro, and "last week" for TuneIn Radio. Since I know that "App Activity" is one of the last entries on the screen, for each app, after double tapping to select "TuneIn Radio Pro" I would touch the bottom left corner of the screen and flick left past "Other apps by TuneIn" to "App Activity" (and two more flicks left would give me the current version number of the app and whether it is universal). If you double tap on "App Activity" you'll get a chronological list of version and price changes for the app. For example, for TuneIn Radio Pro, the entries are: "Nov 27 version 3.1", "Nov 19 version 3.0.1", "Nov 04 version 3.0", and so forth.
I find that occasionally I have more difficulty locating an app in the AppShopper app than I do if I run a Google search for the same app, by typing in the app name along with "appshopper" in the search field. In the case of the Google search, you'll want to set your rotor to "headings" to move to "App Activity". For Google searches I sometimes have to type in the names of the app again in the AppShopper page's search text box to select the correct app to check. But one other advantage of using the web page instead of the app is that you'll be told if the app is no longer available in the app store. Although the page is not meant to be active, you can still navigate to "App Activity" and find out when the last activity entry was posted. Details of changes made in each version are not available this way, but at least you can find out when different versions came out. you can also use the App Activity heading to find out the history of price changes. I found out about the AppShopper "App Activity" entries early on, in Fall 2009 when I got my first iPod Touch. The free NY Times app, which had worked perfectly with VoiceOver for a number of months, had an update that made it inaccessible (similar to the Kindle app -- suddenly the entire page just gave you a "boink" sound with VoiceOver and nothing was read). Fortunately, I had downloaded a working version before ever getting my iPod Touch, so I just never updated the app, and kept tabs on the "App Activity" heading for the app on the AppShopper web pages to wait for a possible fix. It took more than a month. HTH.
