AppFlow 2.0 Is Out With Fully Loaded Functionality and Live Tile
Only three weeks after launching the first version of AppFlow, already a major revamp is out. The team listened to feedback and implemented some missing functionality making the app an excellent substitute for the Marketplace app. Here are the new features.
Live Tile Support Added
The live tile shows the total number of apps in the marketplace, the daily featured app and thumbnails of the 100 newest apps in the Marketplace.
The app thumbnail has also been revamped for a much classier icon.
Categories & Localized Prices
In the new version we’ve made it possible to browse the Marketplace categories – enterntainment, tools+productivity etc – and also added support for free, trial+paid, paid and “all” filters. Try it out – it’s a great alternative way to browse the Marketplace!
Also, app prices show up in your local currency, not in US dollars like before.
Faster then Marketplace Browsing
We’ve added some further tweaks to make laoding and browsing faster than on the Marketplace. Unlike the Marketplace, the app downloads multiple thumbnails and screenshots in one request, making loading time of lists, application details and application screenshots an average 2-8 times faster.
Not only does this mean faster loading and browsing than the official Marketplace app, but also makes it the fastest 3rd party Marketplace browsing app.
New App Lists
We’ve introduced new lists to help app discovery even better:
