Androlib.com was launched roughly a year ago. In July 2009 there was barely 5,000 Applications in the market. Now, we are closed to reaching 100,000. As the number of applications grew exponentially, we ramped up our efforts to showcase all these applications not only for the US market but for 10 other Android market. As we were ramping up our backend efforts, we were trying to bring new essential features to developers and users alike.
A few months ago, we decided to embark on the V2 journey as we quickly realized information on the site needed to be structured and presented more efficiently. In this new version of Androlib.com, you will find the following updates:
- Our search engine now predicts the application you are looking for. We hope you will love it as much as we enjoyed developing it.
- Each application page has been updated with Download estimates which gives you a better idea of the ranges. Those remain estimates but they get better every day.
- On each application page, we have an application recommender "If you like this application..." that lets you discover applications that you will enjoy having if you like the application you are currently looking at.
- We added an Android Scoreboard with all the rankings you have always wanted to see such as the applications with the largest number of ratings. Developers now have their own scoreboard too !!
- We have now a News section based on feeds submitted by external sites. Our way to push the Android Ecosystem. If you want to have your feed in there, feel free to reach out to us.
- Video Section. Within the page, you can watch discover tons of android app videos reviews without ever leaving the page.
- Each developer will be given the opportunity to customize their application pages and company page (In the Dev Corner). We will also give them access to advanced statistics tailored to their needs.
There are a few other hidden features that we will let you discover along the way. In the meantime, enjoy the New Androlib !!
Also, we plan to add new features. Stay tuned !
