Mac App Store Bargains

SmackEater

If you have a reassuringly expensive fruit themed computer, you might like some of the bargains to be had in the new Mac App Store. They include:

Aperture for £44.99 (advanced Image Library software. Usually £129!!)
iPhoto for £8.99 (or any of the other iLife apps individually)
Individual iWork apps for £11.99
AutoDesk Sketch-up for £17.99
and of course, Angry Birds for £2.99.

These are for Apple computers, not the iPhone/Pad/Pod Touch. The store offers heavy discounts on Apple software. I'd imagine it'll be very busy today, so may not work at times.

Also, apparently the Apple apps are licensed to install on any computers you own! So if you have several Macs, you can install the apps on all of them.

To get the app store, go to the apple menu, and select "Software Update...". It should tell you updates are available. The Mac OS X 10.6.6 update includes the App Store. When your mac restarts, the App Store should be in your Dock, next to the Finder.

Good luck! It isn't letting me download anything now . There must be a lot of people checking the new store out.

Why shouldn't it ? They have what a lot of people think is a good product, so fair play to them I would say.

Not managed to even get on to it yet my software is taking ages to update! Serves me right for ignoring the updates over Christmas...

I had it routed through a 50" TV over Christmas via OH's Samsung Galaxy. Such is my addiction to Angry Birds. Brilliant playing it that big though!

Check out the 'Free Apps' section, even more MSE!

I love evernote, very versatile as a to-do list among many other things, also thinking of using it as a recipe book.

I also had to download solitaire, this is my first mac after a switch from windows, and I do miss a good card game now and again!

Has anyone used ibank? I'm very very tempted even with the 34.99 price tag, especially like the idea envelope (ie piggybank) budgeting function. I know there are cheaper finance apps out there though so if anyone has experience of them and can recommend I'd be interested...
