Apps of the week: AVG, Gimp, Picasa, Windows Live Messenger, DoubleTwist, Amazon Kindle

January 14th, 2010

Allmyapps has had a very good CES show last week in Las Vegas: Good business, good contacts, good mood… exactly what we love :-) Thibauld will tell you more about it in a next post.

Today it is time to go back to work so we’ve put online the first new apps of 2010! Be assured that a whole lot more will come this year as we recently upgraded our internal tools to increase our efficiency and reactivity when it comes to adding new applications. We really aim at providing you with the best applications in their latest version and one of our new year resolution for 2010 is to deliver you new applications each week, the famous ones, the new ones… every application that you might need. So do not hesitate to blame me (Arnaud) if we ever fail on that point, but I can already tell you that this will not happen :-)

See you next week for new applications… stay tuned!

20.000+ apps installed and counting!

September 2nd, 2009

At the beginning of this week, allmyapps.com past the 20.000 application installations mark, which means that allmyapps helped you install more than 10.000 apps only in August! This is just great and we felt like blogging about it to thank you all!

First of all, thanks to everyone of you who sent us feedbacks, reviews and screenshots since the beginning! We normally send an email to thank all of you who contribute but lately there were so many that we got a bit overwhelmed… but we are catching up slowly :) Thank you for your contributions as they really fuels our motivation and please be sure that we are carefuly considering every single idea you sent us. We will try as much as possible to have them included in allmyapps future releases!

A big thank also to Kevin Thompson from ElementOS, a Media OS for Home Theater or media center PC, who also used to run tuxsoftware.com. Indeed, ElementOS will propose allmyapps.com integrated as a their main application installation tool. Kevin also got in touch with us and gave us excellent ideas and feedbacks for the future and, thanks to him, you’ll likely see a webapps section appear on allmyapps soon!

Thanks also to Umarks, a firefox add-on to create, delete, backup and restore lists of installed/deinstalled Ubuntu packages, for integrating allmyapps in their search feature so that users can see package description directly on allmyapps.

We’re really happy to see projects using allmyapps so if you want to integrate with allmyapps, feel free to do it and get in touch with us to see if we can help!

Finally, just a few words about a feature that we forgot to talk about in our last blog post: if you want to point somebody to a package description page no matter what his Ubuntu version, you can point him to http://allmyapps.com/package/ (example: http://allmyapps.com/package/amarok). Allmyapps will detect his Ubuntu version and redirect him to the right package description page.

Talk to you soon for a new release and meanwhile we are looking forward to hearing from you!

allmyapps now with reviews and screenshots!

vlc allmyapps screenshot support

Last week, we updated allmyapps with some cool awaited features! In the past month, one of the most requested features was the ability to see screenshots from the applications. Screenshot support has now been added and, better, you will very soon be able to contribute your screenshots for each app!

We also added support for application reviews. From now on you can review and rate the applications you like / dislike. Your opinion will help other users evaluate the applications before actually installing them. To make the process easy, we do not require you to signup or anything like this before posting a review… just write it, post it and it appears immediatly!

Finally, it is now possible to browse applications for the different operating systems supported by allmyapps. Just click on allmyapps in the breadcrumb and you get to choose between the various operating systems supported. You will probably also notice that the URLs are cleaner now. For example, the digikam application page is now accessible through a neat url like : http://www.allmyapps.com/app/digikam

Now what can you expect from allmyapps in the coming weeks? Many things: extended repositories support, the ability to contribute screenshots and support for “application packs”… But while we’re cooking all these new features, we really hope you will enjoy the version we just released! As usual, please do not hesitate to use the feedback form to tell us what you think, be it good or bad!
