For various reasons, sometimes you need to create and add different apps to the App Store wishlist. The main reason for creating is the lack of memory on the iPhone for downloading apps. Once upon a time, the App Store also had a wishlist feature. You may not have even noticed it, but with the release of iOS 11, the wishlist feature disappeared from the App Store. Future versions of the operating system haven’t brought the feature back.

So to create an App Store wishlist and add apps to it, you need to find other ways. You can use the standard notes app on your iPhone. You can also install another app and keep wishlists, and watchlists using Lookmark.

What to do to create a wishlist for App Store using the Notes app?

If you want to create a wishlist for App Store using the Notes app on your Apple device, you have to follow these steps:

  • First of all, open the App Store on your Apple device.
  • Navigate to the app you want to purchase or download in the future.
  • Tap on the app to open details.
  • After that, tap on the “three dots” icon and select the “Share App” option.
  • Then, select “Add to Notes”.
  • You will be prompted to name your Wishlist when you create a new note by adding this app.
  • Finally, create a title and save the note.

Once you go to add another app, select the same wishlist and all your apps will be saved in one note. If you want to see your saved apps, open the Notes app and open your list. You will be able to see the app name, icon, and link to the app on the App Store.

If you want to create a wishlist for App Store using Workflow, you have to follow these steps:

  • First, download and install the Workflow app on your Apple device.
  • After that, you need to go to this Reddit page and download a special setup from the mobile browser of the device that has Workflow installed.
  • Next, in the app, tap on the “Get Workflow” option.
  • After all the preparatory steps, when you find the content that you want to add to the Wishlist, click “Share” and run Workflow. In the program, tap on a special “Wishlist” button.
  • Then, tap “Add App” in the pop-up menu.

This method will work for you if you use Reddit. Otherwise, you will need to download this app and as a result, the storage on your device will be even more full. This is why it’s better to choose standard notes on your iPhone to save money. In the other case, if you want a separate app for such purposes consider Lookmark. This app is created just for such purposes.

What to do to create a wishlist for App Store using Lookmark?

This is the true alternative to the App Store wishlist. It works not only with apps, but also with music, movies, and TV shows. There is sorting by date, category support (audiobooks, books, iOS and Mac apps, movies, music, and podcasts), 3D Touch, and widget. There is an extension for Safari on Mac, which allows you to add information from your computer. The program can even automatically scan all the apps in your browser and suggest a list in which you already mark which apps to add to your wish list. The Lookmark app is free but has a built-in purchase that allows you to track and be notified when content prices change.

If you want to add an app to your wishlist on Lookmark, you have to follow these steps:

  • The first step to creating a wish list is to open the Lookmark app.
  • Then you need to select the App Store icon on the home page.
  • The next step is to open the app that you want to add to the list. In this step, the app will automatically open the App Store.
  • Next, you need to click on the icon to open the action menu.
  • Then in the ‘Share’ section, scroll to the end and click on the three dots.
  • Next, the list of apps will open in front of you and you need to select Lookmark.

Once an app is added to Lookmark, it will be confirmed by a message at the bottom of the screen. The next time you open Lookmark, you’ll see a list of desired apps. You will be able to open apps directly in the App Store when you are ready to download them.
