Find New Apps and Apps on Sale Directly From Your iPhone

by Sebastien on November 7th, 2009

Most of you might already be aware of it but we have an online App Store on the blog, which is pretty much an online version of Apple’s App Store. The difference is that our App Store provides a much better user experience when searching and browsing apps by making it easy for you to sort apps very quickly.

I gave a full overview of our online App Store a few weeks ago here, but feel free to go directly to http://appstore.iphonedownloadblog.com/ to see it for yourself.

The real news today is that we also have a web app for the store. If you go to http://appstore.iphonedownloadblog.com/ from your iPhone, you will be redirected to the mobile-friendly site.

The homepage will give you the 5 newest apps, the 5 latest apps on sale, and the 5 most popular apps in the App Store. From the top navigation bar, you can also go directly to the new apps, apps on sale, or tap categories to browse applications by categories. By tapping ” … “, you can search for an app by typing its name and have access to recently visited apps.

To learn more about an application, simply select it and you will be given a full description, including ratings and screenshots. To download an app, simply tap “Download”.

It’s worth mentioning that if you buy any app from our online App Store, the blog will be paid a 5% commission. See, if you buy a $1 app from us, the blog gets $0.05. That’s a nice way to contribute to the life of the blog.

A few people told me this web app wasn’t as good as I thought because the official App Store app does exactly the same. This is wrong! The official App Store app doesn’t allow you to see the very latest apps on sale and the very newest applications.

Apple has a “new” category but if you look at it closer, it shows you a selection of “new apps” that have been out for 2 weeks or more. Doesn’t look very new to me!

Same for applications on sale. There is no way in the App Store to see what the latest apps on sale this exact day are. Our online App Store and its mobile version will do just that.

I really think our online App Store and its web app are the best way to find out right now about the newest apps and latest price drops. But I might be a little partial, right.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you think about it and maybe how it could be improved. Thank you, guys!

  1. No way is your AppStore the exact same as Apple’s! Their’s is so over-organized into categories that make no sense, the default order is “featured”…I remember when the app store first came out and you could view ALL APPS and have them listed by release date. I really miss that!

    Your store is great for people like me who like to browse new releases, or if you have something in particular you are looking for. I’ll be using it exclusively from now on! The fact that you get a kick back is icing on the cake!

     
  2. Hmmmm great app but If only you could make an app to sort out installous New cracked apps. I taught most ppl use this first to test out apps. Installous is simple a app store filled with cracked apps! It’s easy to install search installous repo, not sure if I can add repo here.

    If you download a cracked app , and you like it , buy it from app store, support the dev .
