Searching for mobile applications from a PC can sometimes be really annoying. Instead of the App Store which works relatively well on an iPhone, Apple offers us to go through iTunes… and frankly it’s a mess! Besides, who still searches for applications using iTunes on their computer?
If you know exactly what you're looking for, you can skip iTunes and just search Google for the app name. However, if you're looking for an app for a specific need but don't know its name, things get really complicated.
TheAppStore.org solves this problem! In fact, it is an intelligent search engine for applications in the App Store… so much more specialized than if you do a search in google.
So you can search the App Store by keywords and use a number of handy filters to narrow down the results.
In fact, you can decide to limit your search to a particular category of the App Store, set an age limit for applications, only display apps with a minimum rating, those that have been updated recently, etc.
Once you've found what you're looking for, you can click on the app you've chosen and it will take you to the App Store's web page for that app. You can then download it from iTunes!
In short, TheAppStore.org is a bit like the missing link in searching for applications on the App Store from a PC!
