So, this is a little unexpected but here's my thoughts on why we're building appify: http://bit.ly/5ploPT and our official launch post: http://bit.ly/7D7owH

It's still early days for us but we're looking for anyone that's done a local app, because we think there's an incredible amount of exciting stuff happening there and our goal is to give as much exposure as we can to as many local and civic minded developers as we can.

So if you're a local app developer, please feel free to add your app, and/or get in touch (email in profile)!


I must be missing something. Can't you just put your city's name in with your other search terms when using a normal app store? What does this add over that?


In keeping with the theme, there is also http://citygoround.org/ for finding transit apps that work near you.


Seems to be a theme emerging here: http://www.nycway.com/


Looks interesting - an aggregator + enabler of Mobile Phone Apps irrespective of Platforms.
