app search

For a lot of us Yahoo is kind of the forgotten search engine. I honestly can’t tell you when the last time I used it was until today when I learned through Android Central that Yahoo has an app search setting.

At Apps.Search.Yahoo.com you can search for Android and iOS apps. You can filter results according to OS, price, and category. I gave it a try and I have to say that the search results page is quite a bit nicer than that of the search results page in the Android Market. The look doesn’t affect the effectiveness of the search tool, but it is a nice aspect of Yahoo App Search. Give Yahoo App Search a try the next time you’re looking for a new app for your Android or iOS device.

Browsing the Android Market for apps that perform the functions you want can be a time-consuming process. Recently, through Paul Hamilton’s excellent blog, I learned about a search tool that aims to help you find apps in less time than you can by searching or browsing the Android Market.

Quixey is a search engine for mobile apps. Using Quixey you can search for apps according to their functions and purposes. In the screen capture below you can see the results of my search for “build websites.” Quixey can be used to search for Android apps, iOS apps, Blackberry apps, Windows apps, and Chrome web apps. Your search results can be filtered according to device platform and price.

The next time you’re looking for an app for your use or your students’ use and you can’t find it on Android 4 Schools (shameless plug, I know), give Quixey a try.
