AppFlow - Quick Look - Bradford Oluter

The developers of the Windows Phone app Cocktail Menstruation has released a new app that is designed to help yous browse and discover Marketplace apps and games. AppFlow lays everything out nicely over iv pages that includes:

Featured Apps: The Featured page has a keyword search field, a featured (or spotlight app) and three categories of apps (New and Impressive, Forgotten Legends, and Apps for Developers) that will pull up fourteen or so recommended apps. Yous tin also generate a detect page from the private app listings (more on this in a 2nd).

Lists: This page offers a multitude of app lists from a wide range of categories. You have top games, noteworthy apps, staff recommendations and more.

Detect: Here you will find a collection of app recommendations and when you tap on a item app, a notice page will be generated. The detect page will list the app you choose likewise as a list of like apps. Tap on one of the recommendations and you'll get another find page based off that app. Or you tin tap on "more than info" and pull up the app's information folio.

Info: Here's where y'all can contact the developer, recommend an app, rate AppFlow, and read most the many features AppFlow has.

The individual app listing provides a ton of info on the app including core information on the app, whatever reviews, screenshots, and stats that basically covers the apps ratings history. Yous also take the ability to launch a discovery page for that detail app (pulls up similar apps) or download the app from the Marketplace.

All in all, AppFlow is a clean looking, engaging, and informative application to browse effectually the Marketplace. Load times were a chip laggy at times but that could have been due to a weak data signal on my finish. The only thing I wish the app had (hint, hint) is a Home Push button to send you back to the main pages. When you drill down into an app listing, information technology may take several taps of the back push to get y'all back to a starting point. It's nothing disquisitional but it would be prissy to return to the chief pages in one button press.

In the short time we've had to explore AppFlow, we experience it is definitely worth a endeavour if you're looking for an alternative manner to surf the Marketplace. AppFlow is a free application and yous can download it hither (opens Zune) at the Market place.
