Interesting Idea.
Things it needs:
1) A browse feature, so you can see other peoples screens
2) A mobile optimized homepage, so using it from the iPhone is more attractive.
3) A reminder of how to take a screenshot on an iPhone :)
4) A better way of handling "non-apps", both folders and mobile-optimized sites on my home screen confused it.
5) Perhaps a recommendation engine for new apps based on the apps on the screen.
thanks for detailed feedback, nmcfarl

was waiting to see if someone asked for it :)
take a screenshot of a home screen[1], go to photos and send it to post@appetite.io
thanks for the feedback
[1]press home + lock at the same time. we currently support some 45000+ apps and all models of iphones.
Ashton's homescreen lists UberDrive instead of Uber. Sounds like the recognition's not quite there yet.
it seems like uber swapped the icons for driver/consumer in their recent update. catching multiple versions of the same icon is something on the todo as well.
thanks for bringing that to our attention, peter.
