Apptizr.com – Application Recommendation Site

Apptizr.com is a website that, based on the information you give it, will suggestion applications that you may be interested in. The suggestions become even more refined as you respond to the recommended apps.

Apptizr asks for basic information about your demographics and interests. It then uses that information to make suggestions about applications that you might be interested in downloading from the App Store. As it makes suggestions, you can thumbs up or thumbs down the apps thus making the search even more targeted toward the apps you would prefer.

“With over 100K apps approved by the Apple App Store, finding high quality apps that match your interests is like finding a needle in the haystack. Apptizr does the heavy lifting through our proprietary algorithm that matches the users’ interest with the right apps. The engine is smart enough to learn more about our users’ preferences over time as they tell us whether they liked the recommendations we made. We also evaluate the applications for quality and only recommend the best apps in each category to our users.”

An additional feature of the website is the ability to sign up for a weekly email that includes new recommended applications.

The website it currently in Alpha and is invite only. We have 50 invites for those of you who would like to give the website a shot. Below are instructions on how to sign up.

2. When prompted, enter the code GoToSchool

When I tested the site, it did a decent job of recommending applications that I would be interested in downloading. I think as I use it more and make more suggestions it will become even more targeted to the apps I prefer. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to sort between free and paid applications. Other than that, a nicely designed website that can be very helpful in sorting through 100,000 applications!
