One of the biggest problems with Apple’s still-fledgling App Store is that there’s no efficient way to sift through new applications. While users can view a list of the most recently uploaded apps, the list can be overwhelming and unorganized. Most users rely on the “Top Apps” lists, which do seem to change often, but these tend to consist mainly of games and “fun” apps that aren’t particularly useful.
GotApps, a simple site that launched earlier this week, is offering users an alert system for the App Store that hopes to streamline the application discovery process. Instead of manually searching, users can enter a number of keywords and categories they would like to receive notifications for. Then, every hour, the site searches through the titles and descriptions of the most recently uploaded apps, and sends an Email whenever it gets a match. Of course, keyword searching only helps if you know what you’re looking for, so users looking to find the best new applications without anything specific in mind will need to look elsewhere.
The site relies on a set of RSS feeds provided by Pinch Media, a company that offers services for iPhone app developers.

The fact that Apple don’t have a sort by new release feature on the phone is completely dumb.
One other thing, if app developers have at least one decent app in the making then there’s at least a safe bet that it will get a decent ranking because 99.9% of all apps in the store are utter crap. How many lighters, beer counters and flash lights does anyone need? Really!
“get” an original business name…
An interesting service for those looking for a very specific type of app and who don’t want to spend time looking for it themselves. Although not too exciting, useful nonetheless.

I was thinking to do something really similar to this on http://www.free...pplications.com
I’ve found that http://www.appcraver.com is also good for iPhone application reviews.
This is a sad sad site, techcrunch you should be ashamed of yourself for posting this rubbish.
Never miss a new app — or update for that matter. Just subscribe to the rss feed for new apps!

FYI : It seems that GotApps GotAxed. That URL seems to no longer exist. I wonder what happened?
The GotApps website says they are down due to insufficient backups and a server loss.
