The function you want to provide is quite simple, implementing an "app for x" search engine, so i guess you should focus on that and try to provide something really user friendly.
I suggest a few things:
-Improve graphics a lot: Nice theme, Icons, highlighted prices and why not a small preview screenshot directly in the search results so that i don't need to open all the app singularly?
-Reduce results. If i'm searching an app and you simply return all the google market results why shouldn't i use the market directly?
You should calculate your own results based on vote/downloads/manual_pick and maybe highlight new apps(that may be worthwhile but have still not enough votes/downloads).
- Make it easy to download, QR-Code easily accessible.
- navanit 17y agoThank you for those suggestions. Along those lines: I'm implementing a "Staff Pick" feature triggered by keywords (Pandora is suggested when "music" is searched for). Reducing results is an interesting idea. Based on my initial feedback from users, they seem to be happier the more results I show them. In fact they judge the quality of the search engine by how many pages of results it shows for a given query. Perhaps it's a presentation issue and I can try striking a balance somewhat.
