Ask HN: Please review AppSnap - Snap the icon of an iPhone app to get it

1 pointsby codesinkabout 15 years ago
Hi,<p>I'd love to have some feedback from HN readers about my very young iPhone app:<p><pre><code> http://www.getappsnap.com </code></pre> It's name is AppSnap and it lets you install any other app by taking a picture of its icon.<p>This is useful when you meet a friend and you want to install an app she's demo-ing you (snapping her iPhone screen) or if you want to install an app you're reading about on a web site (snapping your computer screen).<p>I've been working on the icon-matching backend and on the iPhone app for the last few months and I've released the iPhone version of the app a couple of weeks ago.<p>I've got a lot of (almost all positive) reviews and the hacker side of the thing is working pretty well (autoscaled ec2, high-speed query engine [all C], robust iTunes scraper, etc); on the business side I'm still trying to learn the black art of marketing (I've a ton to learn!).<p>Would love any feedback, thanks!
