appazaar Beta 2 released to the Market

Today is a big day for us as we just released the second beta to the Market Store. So from now on you guys will get every update directly and I guess there’ll be some during the next days ;)

We also would like you to give us detailed feedback if you feel like it. As this is still a beta feedback is important for us to be able to continue developping appazaar with respect to your ideas! So don’t hesitate if something is bothering you or you have an idea on your mind :)

Since the first beta we improved appazaar a lot but the most significant changes for you will be these:

* context tags: You now have the possibility to describe your current situation with a few words like “home, lunch” or “working” to improve the quality of the recommendations.
* less traffic: We reduced the traffic a lot with zipping everything and scaling the icons down. So there is less data to commit!
* recommending: On the server side we’re now using different algorithms that still need to be trained more, but that already should recommend more interesting apps for you.

Happy new year & new appazaar version soon

We hope you all had a good start of 2010 and just want to let you know that we’re not lazy at all! The next and improved version of appazaar will be released soon and by soon we mean before the end of the month ;)
It’ll offer some new features, including so called “context tags” and a better recommendation system on the server side. We also improved the performance and worked on the battery usage. And… well, we’ll let you know about all the details once we finished working and are ready to release ;)

Oh and I shouldn’t forget to mention that we’re also planning on releasing the upcoming version in the Android Market Store as well!

Stay tuned :)
