Announcing AppFinder

[ebadger]

AppFinder for WP7 is the fastest way to find apps in the marketplace bar none.
It's free!

Try it out and let me know what you think!

How do you find AppFinder? I assume this is a WP7 app you can get in the MarketPlace.

[ebadger]

Yes - go to the marketplace on the phone and search for AppFinder

AppFinder update is in the marketplace!

v1.1 includes a Hot list, New list and Best list. Apps can be filtered to show only free apps.
The apps list shows developer, price, ratings and rank. The lists show the top 1000 apps in each category making browsing hot, new and best apps simple and fast.

When selecting an app from the list, pressing back from the marketplace page will return you to where you were in the app list.

As usual, the app list is displayed nearly instantly as you type, and in the app list there is no waiting for additional results to load as you scroll through the results.

Images are NOT included - I wanted to keep the display and information access absolutely as quick as possible and have traded off loading images.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think

Gave it a shot.

Appears you are only searching titles? Your response for 'wallet' retrieves one app, Zune returns 5, presumably searching the description as well as the name. Great search if you know the app name, but if I knew the name, I really wouldn't need to search.

Good idea not to return photo. does make it fairly quick. I don't know if app categories are available to developers, but if they are, would be nice to show that. Would help identifying if a returned app is even in the right category.

Did you ask Pink Floyd if you could use their artwork?
