Hi Jan, Yann here.
Is it working properly for you now?
The new DNS parameters should be refreshed “worldwide” by now.
Best,
Y.

Damn if the the thing didn’t bomb out upon installing on my Mac. It said something about needing to install something else and then kaplooeee… That’s why they call it “beta.” Great idea though.

human recommendation beats analytics. This is just the first layer of our service. Appsfire updates automatically your profile page so you don t have to populate your list manually each time.

Apple can certainly do a lot, but what they are not doing is building a social layer around app distribution.

I doubt that its going to work. The only way it to work is if it collects analytics of all the apps I use which Apple, I hope, is doing. If its a manual system and a user has to add/modify it regularly, its worthless in my opinion.

Unless it is like netflix, in which they keep track of how long a person kept what dvd and what other dvds’ they bought along with manual recommendation system, its not going to be much useful.

Apple can do it right, and no one else can.

Great idea. Crashed my system preferences. Feedback button didn’t work.

Hi Gabe,

Could it be that your application is one that you compiled locally? Basically, the only apps that are listed are the ones that have an exact match on the App Store.

Wow…anyone proof read this mess?

Hi Scott,

Each iPhone application lives in its own sandbox. Hence, using standard coding guidelines, an app cannot know what other apps exist on the device.

In this particular case, the work-around has been to poke into the iTunes backup trail…

Hope this makes sense!
(we would have done it 100% in-app had we been able to)
