23 Mobile Things - Thing 22 : Discovering Apps

Thing 22 is about finding new apps that we might enjoy.

Often times how I discover apps is that a friend or colleague recommends an app. Or I think of something that I figure there might be an app for and I use the iPhone app store search feature. I also see apps mentioned via Twitter, or Facebook, or blogs, or just news articles. And then apps are often suggested by paid-vendors hoping to grab my attention.

I just now did a quick Google search "iphone apps free today only" to see what would pop up. Often times great apps are pricey and this is a way to find a great free-99 deal. A Huffington Post Tech article pointed me to the AppShopper page and I found these free deals. Here's a snip-- note the refinement tools (highlighted) available to use:



Another result offered up iOSnoops with these deals for today, June 9, 2014.  Here's a snip:



I might keep this "app search engine" in mind for the future when I'm app hunting. Quixey. It looks promising & easy to use plus offers options to customize your search. Here's a snip:


Apps. What's life without lots of apps? I tend to have way too many-- many I download because they sound great and I think I'll use them. In reality I don't. So I occasionally go through and delete. Sometimes that's tough to do though because I still think I *might* yet use it. Hmm, this makes me think/wonder-- is there an app to clean up unused apps? Similar to the Windows platform when it informs you of all the unused desktop icons on your PC? Maybe I need to create an app to do this? Or hope somebody else has or will.

So what did I learn? always take time to "STOP for Web 2.0" ... I've always tried to keep up on technology in general ... it's been my life ... but sometimes other things get in the way ... like finding time. And then it's how to keep up? So many new things are popping up every day ... so my "resolution" is to keep carving out a little time each Friday (slower day at work) to keep up with Web 2.0 and Library 2.0.
