When Apple announced that users had downloaded one billion applications (apps) from their website in just eighteen months, it was clear that a new online industry had been born. It was also clear that other Smartphone makers had missed the proverbial boat and that they had better get in on the act. For even though Apple claimed that apps were not all that profitable, the fact is that the company earns well over a billion dollars a year on them.
It is also true that independent users design most of these apps and then sell them to the company. So, Apple doesn’t have to pay them much mind, but they still receive a steady stream of revenue and increased sales of their products based in part on their appealing app catalogue. As you might expect, this makes good business sense, which is why every Smartphone maker on the planet is playing catch up and is cranking out new apps as expeditiously as they possibly can.
To date, Apple still has the largest catalogue with over one-hundred thousand applications. However, other mobile devices like Android have an impressive number of new apps too. This situation is both a blessing and a curse for Smartphone owners. After all, with so many options, finding the right apps these days can be like finding a needle in a stack of needles. Fortunately, users can visit a good app reviews site like this one: Appsreviews.com to help them out.
What is an app reviews site? Basically, it is just a forum where users can post reviews of the latest applications in text or video form. Members and guests alike can then leave comments as they try to reach a consensus about the quality of the application in question.
What to look for? Make certain that the site separates its app reviews into distinct categories, such as navigational apps, business apps, mobiles games, etc. This will make it easy to find the application you are looking for.
