Neat UI, like the animation.<p>The idea is well executed, very slick, but I'm not sure how this site would help me discover fun new things as the friction is high (eg, have to remember your site first) - I'd almost want some sort of slide-like toolbar that scrolled apps with their descriptions at random at the bottom of my computer screen (yeah, that's distracting, but if I were into trying lots of different apps and had more time, that might be fine)<p>One more thing - you have the main headline "Discover great apps for your Android Phone" and a little below in green you say "Also available on Android" which seems unnecessary?<p>edit: I think my mistake might be that I was using it on my mac instead of using it from an android device (which I don't have) - so that use case makes more sense....

I really like the idea and I hope you will release it for the iOS appstore as well.<p>Just a small detail: While sharing it on facebook I noticed that the sharing popup was cut off by the navigation frame and it was a bit hard to complete the message.

Wow, this is awesome! How long did this take? What do you use for the map UI?

Great stuff!<p>Your Android app says "Double <i>click</i> an app to start." I think it would be more fitting to read "Double tap" instead.

"We're sorry, but our website doesn't work on Android."<p>A bit funny considering it's for finding Android apps.
