Hey product hunters! I’ve decided to launch App Finder today quite spontaneously, since I think that all essential functionality is now implemented and working quite well. I believe that it is now the best tool for everyone who needs to find the best Android apps for some purpose, or apps with specific features. Also, I think that it can be great for the discovery of games. This is due to its comprehensiveness and several unique and innovative features that set it apart from the Play Store search and other app search engines: * With 3,700,000+ indexed apps and games and local data for all 200+ countries / regions supported by Google Play, it is probably the most comprehensive third-party search engine for Android apps. * It offers reliable advanced keyword search with all usual search operators and some special ones, for example to require words in title or summary. As I have shown with many detailed examples, App Finder consistently returns significantly more relevant results than the Play Store search and alternative app search engines. * * It has filters for all important parameters (e.g. for apps without ads, for free / paid apps, for apps with / without in-app purchases, for user rating, number of ratings and downloads, update date and release date, price range and in-app price range, age rating). * It has a highly optimized relevance sort, and systematic sort options (user rating, number of ratings, release date). * All essential data is shown directly in, including a unique visualization of the rating distribution. * The result list also contains short descriptions and screenshots that can be scrolled and scaled using pinch-to-zoom. * It shows world-average ratings for apps without country-average ratings, and has the option to use world-average ratings for filter and sort. This is highly important to make high-quality apps discoverable that don't (yet) have a local rating in the user's country, since country-average ratings are available for only a fraction of the apps for which world-average ratings are available (for example, about 1/3 for the US, 1/7 for the UK, 1/28 for Ireland, and 1/44 for Laos). * Planned features include: * A web interface * Indexing of alternative Android app stores * Indexing of iOS apps * Support for other languages * AI-based natural-language search as alternative App Finder is available as an app itself on Google Play (see link above), a web interface is coming soon. All essential features are available for free, without ads, without limitation, without sign-in. Some advanced features require a small in-app purchase. The lifetime-license is available for just $24 (instead of $36) until Oct 31! * See the research that is preliminary published on XDA Forums (link above and on skyica.com)

@maria_anosova Only now I saw you comment (overlooked the "View 1 more reply"). Thanks for your suggestion! I had hoped the UI would already be seen as "smooth". I put much effort in making the sliders, menus, result list scrolling, image zooming, UI scaling, and data and image loading smooth. Did you notice any issues with these things? What improvements do you have in mind?

nice, hopefully this is a mobile app that we can all use to game it! Can it make recommendations as well? I think that would be helpful for me because the effort of finding the next game to play is actually pretty steep.

@kingromstar Currently it makes "recommendations" based on the keywords / phrases, filters, and sort options. An advanced "similar to" feature is planned, that will be able to give recommendations based on installed or other selected apps. AI-based natural-language search is also planned.

@m_abdullah_zafar Thanks for your comment. Currently App Finder only has apps that are available on Google Play, but can find many apps that are not returned by the Google Play / Play Store search (unless you enter the exact name / developer), and also apps that are hidden by the Play Store because they were "made for earlier versions of Android" (many of which work well on current Android versions). Alternative app stores will be indexed soon!

So cool to see this on ProductHunt! 🎉 I've been using App Finder for a few months, and it's by far the easiest way for me to find new apps (I primarily use it for finding Android games). I love the many filters and advanced search options. Hope you'll keep it up, as there's nothing quite like this out there.

@leslie_tucker2 Thanks for your detailed comment! Regarding "insights into trending apps, emerging developers..." I must note that display of and filters for recent downloads and ratings are not yet implemented (but will be soon). Also I want to make it clear that Skyica is not affilated with the commenter.

This sounds promising. A particular challenge I currently face is finding apps and games that are suitable for children and meet their needs. It seems to be yielding much better results than the existing solutions.

The development of App Finder is now being continued!

After a pause of more than a year (because I had to do some other things), I'm now continuing the development, have just released a "first" update, see here.

I plan to work on App Finder now near full-time for the next 1 to 1.5 years, the list of planned features is long :)
