Comment on The Biggest Problem in App Discovery

Comments

While amusing :) it's not really accurate. The Web part is missing "finding the correct link on search results (damn Google keeps changing, also everybody is running out of unique names it seems)", "finding the signup button or free plan on plans&pricing (sometimes you need to find the p&p first!)", "oauthing via twitter/fb or registering (if registering, then creating another pass, verify email, log in)". Unless the Web example is a simple, non-interactive content site. But where's fun in that?

You also have to look through the app store's search results. And sign up in the app if it requires it.

Actually, if the app requires sign up then I close and delete it (unless it's a mobile interface like Skype).
