appstory.tv – Your Videogu­ide on Apps

appstory.tv, the video guide for Smart­phone appli­ca­tions, launch­es today. appstory.tv helps to find the best apps for the iPhone and the new Apple iPad: The 2‑minute video clips are pre­sent­ed by Kira Song, Richard Gut­jahr and Michael Reuter. They intro­duce the best apps avail­able on the mar­ket and they name the pros and cons of each app.

Apples iPhone made a begin­ning – fol­lowed by Black­Ber­ry, Palm and Google’s Nexus: Smart phones are replac­ing cell phones. With smart­phones you can do a lot more than phone calls, send emails or text mes­sages. You can surf the web, book flights, receive weath­er fore­casts and sent the lat­est pho­tos taken with your built-in cam­era to social net­works like Face­book or Twit­ter. In short, mobile phones are becom­ing ubiq­ui­tous, intel­li­gent mini-computers.

A smart phone is only as smart as the pro­grams that are installed on it – the appli­ca­tions, in short “apps”. In the Apple iTunes App­store there are already over 140,000 apps – from cat­e­gories edu­ca­tion­to econ­o­my. Most of the apps will be offered free of charge – for about 30 per­cent of all apps an aver­age of 0,99 US-Cent (2,50 Euro) per down­load is charged. Very high on the list of most pop­u­lar apps are for exam­ple nav­i­ga­tion soft­ware solu­tions – they can cost about 199 US-Dollars (or 99 Euros).

Which app is worth buy­ing? Which app from the same cat­e­go­ry is bet­ter than the other? appstory.tv shows how a app works and makes it easy to under­stand. At the end of each video clip the view­er will get a clear rec­om­men­da­tion: Is the app suit­able or not. No wishy-washy com­ments. The goal is to save the user from buy­ing the wrong app.
