allmyapps now with reviews and screenshots!

February 24th, 2009

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!

allmyapps just got updated

January 21st, 2009

If you came on allmyapps today, you probably noticed that we’ve updated the website a little. No big new features (screenshots will arrive in the next release) but little improvements :

  • Improved category menu for easier navigation. Now you can open and close categories and see their sub menus without actually going the category page, clicking on the plus sign will toggle the category sub menu.
  • More eye candy. Icons have been added next to the application in the “most installed apps” and “last updated apps” columns. Also, you probably noticed that a nice little favicon has been added :)
  • Improved number of installations relevancy. At first, we were relying on figures taken from ubuntu popularity contest service. Unfortunately, these figures were not extremely relevant for users as “Python” was the most installed app (which is probably true technically speaking). So we’ve reset all the installation numbers and, from now on, rely only on allmyapps installation statistics.
  • Fix the search filter bug. You can now finally restrict your searches by environment (KDE,Qt,Gnome,GTK) by using the “filter by environment” filter.

As usual, do not hesitate to use our feedback form to report issues or remarks you may have about allmyapps… it helps us a lot! Stay tuned for the next release, screenshots are on their way!

allmyapps… one week after!

January 17th, 2009

We’re really happy to see that you were numerous to try allmyapps last week, you were more than 700 to give it a try last friday! We received very positive feedbacks, new ideas and also a few bug reports of course :) Today, we updated allmyapps to fix an annoying little bug in the user agent detection that was preventing some Ubuntu users to install applications. This should be fixed by now! If you ever find new bugs or have great ideas… don’t hesitate to share it with us!
