Explor ~ like Ping for apps

Woohooo~Speechless....Things aare developing in its own way,we have nothing to do.

 

First of all, I am a huge, huge fan of the original Appsaurus; core concept, implementation, and ease of use are all just drop-dead perfect, in my opinion.

That's why I don't understand why you made some of the choices you made, when converting to Explor.

• I feel like I have fewer search options than before. It seems like I used to be able to filter my list, based on a number of criteria or categories, like genre, price, and system.
• I used to be able to make my own lists.
• The old artwork with wood grain and filagree was gorgeous. To be brutally honest, I actively dislike the new "spaced out" look and oddly facing arrows. Please, please, please at least bring it back as an option.
• I much prefer the old name and icon; more personality, more approachable, and the new version feels like Dr. Who to me. It's as though all of the personality and charm has been stripped from the product.
• The fold-out scrolling when tapping more info is off-putting.
• I would like the option to toggle on and off the display of lite versions, globally.personally, I have no interest in seeing them and running across them after having already marked the full version is duplicative and tedious.
• I think info should be accessed via one tap.
• I think tapping the icon should either take you directly to the info or act as your selection from the current page (which then displays the next 5 apps).
• I no longer have the option to "re-roll" if none of the apps displayed are to my liking.
• I would love a Wish List option that would contain all of the apps I am interested in, but don't want to interrupt my directed walk to email.
• I would like the ability to email my Wish List or at least email all the apps that interested me from a single session.

So back to the good stuff:

• The social aspects that you've added are quite compelling. It's a whole new way to discover.
• Not all the new art is questionable; I like the paper texture and the app info screen.
• While it's a hard thing to gauge, I feel like your algorithm for app-surfing has improved.
• Best of all, while I was using the app to write up my feedback, I purchased and/or downloaded about 12 apps. I say about, because I lost count. There are worse problems to have than designing an app with a core feature set that is so good, people can't help but use it.
• This is not a best-in-class app, in my opinion, it's the only-one-in-class app. It does what the app store has, in some ways, failed to do and that is to make app discovery fun and intuitive.

Occupying a tier just below your family and friends, i am your biggest fan. I own 6000 apps and i've purchased quite a few of them via your killer app, so please just try to regain at least some of what was lost...

Mmmm...you smell that? It smells like a "Classic" option cooking...
