Recently-launched AppBoy is a social outlet which enables users to share their interesting ideas by thinking of something useful, smart or just plain entertaining. Besides providing an online “space” for mobile lovers to submit their wonderful ideas, they can also download apps by categories such as ‘Utilities’, ‘Games’, ‘Entertainment’, or via the lists of ‘Top Rated Apps’ and ‘Recent Apps’. What’s more is that it helps developers who have already got the big idea and the skills needed to develop a mobile app to promote them via the website. Just like Apple’s online App store, developers get paid a percentage of the sales if he or she intends to sell the app.
Currently, AppBoy’s apps only support 3 smartphones platforms which includes the popular Apple iPhone, Blackberry and last but not least Google’s Andriod. Searching for apps you need or want is relatively quite easy using its user-friendly search and via the categories. For each app, there will be a short description of what is it about accompanied by several screenshots to enable users to get a view how it looks like before purchasing or downloading the app. It even displays the platform a particular app supports and tags related to it.
AppBoy is indeed a great social outlet for mobile apps lovers as it not only allows them to browse and download apps, it also offers social features as such a commenting and voting system for users to share their valuable opinions and thoughts regarding the app. The folks there have done pretty much in its interface and this plays a crucial role in garnering more users to join the social community of mobile lovers.
