Making Android apps & games optimally discoverable, for the benefit of both users and developers! - 2,700,000+ apps * Reliable advanced keyword search * Many filters & sort options * Result list with all essential data & scalable screenshots * Free plan, no ads!

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)

@konrad_sx Impressive launch for App Finder! It seems like a comprehensive and user-friendly tool for discovering Android apps and games. The extensive filters, reliable keyword search, and optimized relevance sort make it stand out from the crowd. The planned features, including a web interface and support for other languages, sound promising. Looking forward to exploring this and finding the best Android apps with ease. Congratulations, Great job! 🚀📱

Congrats on the launch 🎉 One suggestion - perhaps consider enhancing the UI for a smoother user experience? This could really help to move your already amazing product from great to fantastic! Keep up the awesome work! 😊🚀

@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.

@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.

App Finder is a game changer for app discovery on Android. This delights both app enthusiasts and everyday users with its diverse sorting and filtering options. The advanced search queries and the ability to combine different criteria (e.g. minimum rating, number of ratings, etc.) and select specific categories for precise results are particularly impressive. The results view stands out, presenting abundant information in a simplified format. This info would otherwise require lots of clicks on Google Play store search results. With detailed built-in help, the app ensures a user-friendly experience. I am surprised that for the amount of data how fast this app is. Packed with features, I believe this is a must-have app, offering an enhanced Google Play store search experience on steroids!

This is one of the best app that is used widely to discover! 5 stars. Try it!

The closest thing there is to an "advanced search" for the Google Play Store. It proves useful to find underrated apps that may have been buried by Google's algorithm. The developer is very involved and has plans to keep adding features, notably a web interface.
