Best Create releases its free visual discovery tool for iPad apps - Meet i
A new way to browse
Does the app industry have a discovery problem or does it have a traffic acquisition problem?
Subtly different parts of the same issue, developers often moan that they can't get users to find their game, although you never hear a gamer complaining that there isn't enough content available.
Still, anything that can be done to widen the channels into the various app stores has to be a good thing, which is something Japanese outfit Best Create is offering with its Meet i iPad app.
Pretty as a pictureThe free download uses a tile-based approach, using a screen or icon for each iPad app on the App Store. You just scroll around, moving in any direction, and tapping on anything to bring up the standard app description and screens.
Filters include App Store categories - free and paid - as well as new releases. There's also a watchlist feature whereby you can bookmark apps.
Meet i is available now, and it's free for iPad.
You can see how it works in the following video.
