There’s also http://appboy.com. It’s a more social approach to the problem. It also allows users to submit ideas for apps and includes other platforms.

Hi Guys,

Theres actually a new site that just launched called Appboy, its the only social network for App developers and Users. Where people can comment, vote and share apps. Developers can promote their apps with their own viral url which becomes their personal appstore, and users can submit ideas which the community votes on to get developed or not. Its cool site, got a great review here http://bit.ly/10ct7D. if your a developer you can add any app to the site in seconds, its been creating a lot of buzz http://www.appboy.com.

Best,
Mark

There is also http://appexplorer.com/ which focuses on pure search although it also has new app and price change alerts.

You can also see price and popularity graphs if you click on a search result.

What we need are better subcategories of applications. For productivity you could have General Organizers; Calendars; Collaboration Apps, etc.

None of the websites above list subcategories. If somebody wants to truly make a splash in setting their website apart from the others, they will devote significant time to simply categorizing applications as best they can in a more reasonable manner.

I would like the App store to have a “wishlist” like Amazon does.

Thanks for the info. I’m brand new to Mac, iPod, iTunes, and thought it was just that I didn’t know how to search for apps. I’ll be checking out these resources because the other system was wasting a lot of my time.

My favorite way to browse for apps is using the iPhone program AppSniper. You can set price point alerts, filters, browse new additions, block apps by specific developers and more. Much more useful than using the AppStore program directly and best of all, unlike a website only solution, this works directly on your phone.

The actual app buying still happens through the AppStore app so you never give the AppSniper program any confidential information either. Probably the best program on my iPhone because it lets me find whatever else I’m looking for *and* save money on future purchases at the same time.
