Natural App Discovery

Another way to find apps, rather than trying your luck in the App Store.

A new startup, Quixey, has a new way to find apps, using a functional search engine that takes your query and returns app recommendations from multiple platforms. It lets you use natural language queries, so it's quite user-friendly. This startup will debut next month, but if you head to their site you can request a beta invite. I can only hope that we get more and better tools for finding apps, especially games. I'm still appalled at how hard it is to find a game you like in the App Store, and as for the Android Market... let's hope Amazon's take on it works better.
