Show HN: AppApp.io – A better search for the iOS App Store

Interesting site. I love the ability to narrow down apps through an advanced search. However, I feel like it rewards apps with keywords in their titles over those that don&#x27;t. Consider someone searching for &quot;music&quot;. It&#x27;s reasonable for Spotify to show up, or even my app Musi which currently ranks first for that keyword in the App Store since both of those apps heavily involve music. However, on AppApp, none of those are found. Instead, there are mostly music creation apps which generally include music in their titles, versus music listening apps which may not.<p>If Apple changed their search to work more like this, I would have to change my app name to &quot;Music Player&quot; to stay competitive, and add even more keywords in the title.<p>As it stands, I feel like Apple rewards popular apps a little too much and I like how this is a more literal search, but there is definitely merit in having a search which has understanding about what an app is about (which is what I believe Apple <i>tries</i> to do with their current App Store search).

As to why the world might need another search for the App Store, I have written this blog: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.appapp.io&#x2F;post&#x2F;131747237960&#x2F;the-raison-detre-of-appappio" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.appapp.io&#x2F;post&#x2F;131747237960&#x2F;the-raison-detre-of-...</a>

This is a nice alternative. Bookmarked! As I&#x27;m sure you know as a parent by now, the next nice-to-have feature would be to filter against apps that use ads. Worst offenders being full screen video ads you can&#x27;t skip and banner ads placed close to buttons.<p>Children are quite vulnerable to believe what they&#x27;re seeing in the ad verbatim. Then you&#x27;re the bad guy for not agreeing to get them that game they just saw beeing so great. More importantly though, brainwashing with ads steals the time that was supposed to be spent on something else.<p>At least your &quot;No IAP&quot; filter already eliminates the awful apps that let children &quot;earn coins&quot; for watching ads.

Have you done any usability testing regarding the choice of a fixed non-scrolling header for search? It&#x27;s a pet peeve of mine but along with the cookie info footer and my browser chrome, there&#x27;s a big chunk of my vertical space wasted -- feels like I&#x27;m peeping in through a fence. If I want to search, your main page is all about it, and I really don&#x27;t feel like I need the search thing present at ALL times while looking at what I&#x27;ve already searched for.

Live search pollutes the browser history with each letter typed. Otherwise - well done!

I like it a lot! The only thing that bothered me was how the star ratings show numbers instead of the stars, so I have to look carefully at the ratings before choosing an app.<p>With a star <i></i><i></i>* rating the rating is visual, so I can easily see at a glance what the rating is.

Way better than the built in app store search, however I can&#x27;t see the titles of the apps only the search terms.

Great job!<p>Do you plan on making it a real app for iOS ? Will Apple allow it on AppStore ?

Hey OP, some feedback:<p>Both our apps appear as top results when &quot;LoyLap&quot; is typed into App Store search. In your results only our merchant app appears when queried with &quot;LoyLap&quot;.

Pretty nice! Can you search by app size? I seem to remember it was exposed by the API.

Where did you get the data from? Or is it just recent submissions&#x2F;updates?
