Spent all your cash on a new gaming PC or MacBook and want to know if you should take out a loan to buy those expensive apps and games? Stay calm and save tons of cash on digital purchases by reading this article. We’ve shown you how to save money on Android and iOS apps, and now we’ve got some great deals for BlackBerry and Windows Phone deal hunters.
Windows Phone
Windows Phone users can download AppDeals to get discounted updates. This free app tracks price drops and free apps, and while it requires you to sign up to get push notifications, you’ll be able to see the deals on your home screen thanks to a live tile showing the latest deals at the time.

On BlackBerry 10, App Stalker is a great app for tracking discounts. It tracks transactions and sends you notifications when paid apps are on sale or free. The app tracks deals and displays the total savings available at any given time at the top of the screen. You can check out featured offers, or see price drops and new free apps, and App Stalker will also send notifications to your hub so you don’t miss out on any deals. The only problem is that you can’t mark apps to track in your wish list.

Computers and Macs
We couldn’t find any good ways to get discounts on PC software, but there are plenty of free alternatives for most popular software. While full-price PC games are painfully expensive, luckily there are plenty of ways to find deals. If you’re looking for PC gaming deals, IsThereAnyDeal is a great source.
It will show you offers from multiple online gaming stores like Humble Bundle, Steam, GOG, etc. In addition to the usual alphabetical order or store, it also lets you filter search results by game price and discount. The downside is that it only displays prices in USD.
Android users should also keep an eye on Humble Bundle for great game deals. Almost all popular indie games are listed in this store, and the pay-as-you-go model means you only pay $0.01, but if you pay more than the average, you’ll get more games.
Cheap Ass Gamer doesn’t get deals from bundle sites, but the community on the site is a huge help if you’re looking for the latest deals.

Mac Bundle
Mac users should also keep an eye out for bundles, where multiple apps are available at deep discounts, or you can pay what you want. MacUpdate offers a curated selection of app deals and sometimes offers a bunch of apps in one bundle. Another great site for Mac app bundles is Stack Social, which continually offers deep discounts on multiple apps as long as you purchase the entire bundle.
These apps and services are great for finding discounts on your favorite apps, but they’re not the only ones. If we missed your favorite service or you’d like to share your experience finding app deals, let us know in the comments. For more helpful articles, visit our How To section.
