If you have time you can browse them all over the our website. But if you are a busy person, you can just subscribe to the RSS Feed, which will give you access to a super short subset including the title, the category, the source, the app icons and links to download them (pointing directly to the App Store from your iPhone)

When we first discovered Alfred, we were blown away by the quality of the little software that helps you trigger any kind of tasks on your mac (launching a program, a search, a folder,...) anywhere from your mac. Those familiar with Quicksilver will quickly realize this is Quicksilver done right (although the latter is more popular so far). If you have not tried it yet, this is a real must (download it here). Alfred is a very very young company, but we wanted to showcase what could be done with AppsFire app search.

It is as simple as launching the program with a combination key (Eg Alt+space) then type "App+ your request" AppsFire app search, searches in the title and description and allows you to filter results by rating and price (and iPad only)

It takes merely 2 seconds to trigger an app search. We love it and hope you will too! 

We'll announce soon more partnerships like those (and if you are a site or a software editor contact us). With or Without app :)

ps: Alfred is only for mac users for now. If you are a PC users, let us know if you wish such a feature on your computer.

We thought it would be cool to provide a search experience for apps that is available where you need it. 

Every week AppsFire collects the best selections of Apps from across the web.  Here are few Mixes from the past week, but be sure to check out the full collection or create your own mix.

We spent all this time obsessively thinking about how to provide the best discovery experience and came to the conclusion that browsing fast through your existing social graph (for now Facebook) was a good start (but it will not be the only one)

After many weeks of hard work, we are happy to introduce today a brand new way to discover apps and share them like never before. A very intuitive, fast and visual experience. An video is better than an explanation.

We are also introducing a 1 click sharing experience that you should enjoy and which is providing a great experience for reading and engaging for your followers

We also totally rebuilt our iPhone app, coming out very soon, providing an even better experience. More on that soon.

For now check out our new site and our new sync, super fast client to enjoy best AppsFire

More and more people understand the necessity of not only copy/pasting content from the computer to the device, but also to manage that smartly inviting you to the relevant action.

We see that most people that start to use Pastefire, can't stop using it.

But today only a few will be rewarded. It is at this moment important to remember that the result of this contest is not at all an indicator of the potential success of an app in the App Store. Sometimes it does and some of our finalists and winners in the precedent edition surely enjoyed some great success. All this effort will be rewarded in some way or with the present app, or if you consider this as a learning experience, for future projects.

------------

The winners will get a free ad campaign with our media sponsors (TUAW, Buzzvoice, ...), a free 3 month subscription on Animoto pro and finally ...finally...an iPad. This is a nice way to start, before you even start!

We had some hard time spotlighting only 3 apps as winners with so many good one submitted. So we decided to include 3 runners up in each category

There will be soon a new edition of the App star Awards. Just register here if you are interested

So here are the results, congrats to them
