Yahoo on Thursday released an app that uses Yahoo search technology to find and recommend apps from Apple's App Store and Google's Android Market.
"Today, Yahoo! Mobile is introducing a fun, fast way to search and discover mobile apps. Yahoo! AppSpot, a new mobile application, works like a flashlight in the darkness of more than 425,000-plus apps in the Apple App Store and 200,000 apps in Android Market," wrote Anil Panguluri, Yahoo Product Director of Mobile Search, in a blog post. If you'd rather not download the app onto your mobile device, you can also search via your browser at Yahoo App Search.
So how does AppSpot differ from the bestselling and featured apps you can already find in both app markets?
According to Yahoo, "Unlike 'Top Apps' lists that provide the same apps day after day, you'll get new, personalized app suggestions on a daily basis, so you're always introduced to the latest, most interesting, and relevant apps."
With your permission, Yahoo scans your current app library and notes previous app searches to deliver relevant results. You can also search for apps in 20 different categories, like Health, Travel, Photography, and Navigation.
The idea isn't completely novel as you'll find similar offerings from smaller app discovery apps like Chomp and AppsFire, but you might find different results with one powered by a major search company.
