I'll start. Currently my strategy for discovering apps depends mostly on how much research I've done on the space. For apps I know by name (Facebook, Amazon Kindle) I have no use for anything outside the native app stores (This accounts for probably 50% of the apps I download). Other times I have a problem that I'm sure someone has created a software based solution for but don't know which is best and will use a combination of app store keyword searches, Google and asking friends (Mostly utilities. 25%). There is also a third case of "apps I didn't know I wanted" that are almost exclusively discovered through word of mouth (Mostly games. 25%).
