If you’re anything like me (and chances are, you are) then you’ll have one big pet peeve with Google Play; it struggles with a convenient way to suggest apps appropriate to you. Sure, there’s the “Suggested for you” sections here and there, but sometimes I wonder if Google really knows me at all. That’s where Appreciate comes in.
Appreciate, made by Triapodi, has updated its app market with a new user interface. The idea of Appreciate is that it actively monitors what apps you have and lists recommendations based on that. Furthermore, it has more default search categories than just “Featured”, “Top Paid”, etc etc. Appreciate will give you personalized suggestions for your country, apps for guys/gals and if you link your Facebook account, will also suggest apps that your friends use.
Personally, I find the personalized apps to be a boon, but as always, some suggestions miss the mark (though I have no complaints about the “Apps for guys” page). And while the new user interface is very slick, the colour scheme of the app is a little jarring and the news feed felt very cluttered. Even so, the ability to search more categories alone is definitely the one feature that I ‘appreciate’.
Will you give Appreciate a try? Let us know how you find it.
