Customer Reviews
Great potential
I really like this app - it has the potential for being on the most popular list itself. The stream option is great although it would be better if it was based on all apps rather than member apps.
I like the "member" features, which are what really defines it from the standard app store.
I do wish that the category lists were based on ratings rather than most downloaded though - like the app Top Rated Apps. For example, currently the #3 Top Overall App is rated with two stars. This is not useful information to me.
However I do highly recommend this app - especially if you are an appophile. :) The more people that buy this app, the more useful it will be.
Bad all around
Yeah, the app has cool graphics, but almost all features and design choices are bad or don't work.
Nearly all apps in the promo codes stream have no promo code. What's the point?
Forced landscape mode is annoying.
Stupid to have to wait while Safari loads a URL to get to apps, no other app browsing program has to do that.
App doesn't even remember where you were when you come back to it, painful!
Pretty much a useless waste of time, the features it claims to have that seem like they would differentiate from other similar apps don't really work.
Very useful
This is really awesome for browsing and sharing, just like it advertises!
