Apples ‘Chomp’ stoppt die Software-Suche nach Android-Apps
Mini_discussion_bubble iPhoneBlog.de - Posted Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:54:52 UTC +00:00
Ende Februar wurde bekannt, dass sich Apple die Software-Suchmaschine ‘Chomp‘ einkaufte. Inzwischen ist der Papierkram mit der US-Börsenaufsicht veranlasst, die Android-App aus dem Google-Play-Store entfernt und die Webseite auf eine Suche nach iPhone- und iPad-Programmen eingeschränkt. Die iOS-Software befindet sich derzeit noch im App Store (kostenlos; App Store-Link). Dessen dortige Aufenthaltsgenehmigung dürfte allerdings nur eine Frage der Zeit sein: Die Mitarbeiter des ehemaligen Start-ups arbeiten bereits im iTunes-Team, das sich darum bemühen soll, den Algorithmus für App-Empfehlungen umzukrempeln.

Apple Acquires App Search Engine Chomp
Mini_discussion_bubble Slide to Play - Posted Fri, 24 Feb 2012 13:29:26 UTC +00:00
TechCrunch is reporting that Apple has acquired Chomp, an App Store search engine that essentially does what Apple's built-in search bar does, only better. The details of the acquisition haven't been disclosed yet, but apparently it's a done deal and the Chomp team is already reporting to Apple. Chomp has a website and a free app that allow you to search the App Store in a number of ways, depending on what you're looking for. In Chomp's current form it can also be used to search the Android Marketplace, but that functionality will almost certainly be stripped once Apple fully takes the reins. According to TechCrunch, "Apple has bought the Chomp team and technology and plans to use both to completely revamp App Store search and recommendations." What does this mean for gaming? Potentially a lot. Better, deeper search functionality could mean more relevant results when you search for general terms Read More
Apple compra Chomp para mejorar el descubrimiento de apps en la App Store
Mini_discussion_bubble EsferaiPhone - Posted Fri, 24 Feb 2012 14:30:31 UTC +00:00
Que Apple es una de las compañías con más poder económico ahora mismo, no es noticia. Y tampoco es raro que dediquen parte de ese dinero a comprar empresas que les parezcan interesantes. Chomp, una aplicación para iPhone (llamada exactamente igual) que permite buscar y descubrir nuevas apps en la App Store, siendo estas lo mejor de lo mejor. Como es lógico pensar, intuimos que Apple usará los algoritmos y tecnología de Chomp para añadirlos tanto a la App Store como a la Mac App Store. Para acabar, M.G Siegler ha declarado a TechCrunch lo siguiente: Esta no ha sido una compra/contratación barata, Apple ha comprado el equipo de Chomp y su tecnología y planea usarlos para modernizar las búsquedas y las recomendaciones de la App Store Para acabar, Mark Gurman, editor de 9to5mac ha comentado en Twitter que el equipo de Chomp ya está trabajando en Apple. Secretario de la Read More
Apple to acquire Chomp app search platform
Mini_discussion_bubble TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog - Posted Fri, 24 Feb 2012 02:40:00 UTC +00:00
Having an App Store means never having to say "Sorry, there's no app for that" -- or at least not very often. With the massive success of the iOS App Store, however, there's also a discoverability problem: how do you find the apps you need? Searching by name or keyword doesn't always help, and some gems may be hiding just around the next page of results. The search tool Chomp, available currently for both iOS and Android, aimed to change that equation. Via the company's app or web tool, you can search for apps by what they do rather than what they're called. A proprietary algorithm digs into the app descriptions, reviews and capabilities to figure out what makes an app useful, and then exposes that analysis to eager app searchers and would-be purchasers. Such a capability, if it worked as advertised, would be very valuable. Seems like it does work Read More

Mini_discussion_bubble iSource - Posted Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:32:34 UTC +00:00

Chomp Now Live And Ready To Bite Into iPhone App Recommendations
Mini_discussion_bubble TechCrunch - Posted Mon, 11 Jan 2010 21:25:17 UTC +00:00
Last week, we previewed Chomp, a new service that aims to offer a better review and recommendation system for iPhone apps. Today, the service, which is an app itself, has gone live, with its app now available in the App Store. As we noted, the service is sort of like a Yelp for iPhone apps. But what makes it work is that it’s simple and intuitive. When you load up Chomp, you’re taken to a screen with just four main options: Live App Reviews, Recommendations, Add People, and Bookmarked Apps. As you might imagine, the Live App Reviews are is a stream of new app reviews coming in, in realtime. Recommendations give you a list of apps to download based on the apps you’ve already reviewed. Add People gives you an easy way to connect with others on the service using your real friends on Facebook, “App Celebrities” (high profile users), and Read More

The discovery features and related searches are the best part about Chomp. This is what makes it stand out from all the other app finders out there.
New apps place to start
python1226 5.0 stars Version: 3.5
Love chomp, my first place to start looking for a new app using search feature. Much better than the apple app store. Recommend as the first app to download with a new phone.
Love the new updates!

Quality apps!
John Lee 5.0 stars Version: 3.5
This new version makes it really easy to glance at an app and decide whether it's good or not. And I'm so glad they brought back the free apps of the day feature. Who doesn't like free apps?!
The best way to find apps
Taylor Cascino 5.0 stars Version: 3.5
Just keeps getting better. It is a beautiful way to find and discover new apps, and I think users will really love it as a supplement to Apple's App Store. Search is top-notch and very fast. "Free apps of the day" is a great way to find bargains. I use this new version of Chomp on my iPhone almost every day.
Fantastic!
Allrestmaystay 5.0 stars Version: 3.5

Really useful
ying41 5.0 stars Version: 3.5
Just like google for apps. Love it!
Simply better
ohhorob 5.0 stars Version: 3.5
This is a great update for what is already the best App Search out there. While the search is awesome, the search suggestions are really cool! Such a simple experience now, I just search and find what I need. Star ratings have made it easier to see what everyone else thinks of each app. The Twitter integration on iOS 5 is great. I love being able to sign in to my profile by choosing my Twitter account that was already set up on my iPhone.The updated sharing options are a nice touch. 👍
3.5
Ben Keighran 5.0 stars Version: 3.5
