Finding cool new iPhone apps on the iTunes AppStore can be frustrating, what with over 150,000 different apps cluttering its virtual shelves. That’s where the Chorus iPhone app comes in – it’s an iPhone app designed to help you discover new finds in the AppStore by showing you what apps your friends are using – and they’ve just gone international with the addition of 90 countries outside the US. The newly expanded Chorus gives users a global network of iPhone users, each with their own set of apps, that they can explore.
Chorus has been steadily expanding since its launch late last year. envIO, makers of the app, tells us that they’ve been seeing an average 38% growth rate with the average rate of app recommendations increasing from 52 to 78 recommendations per user. And, Chorus has driven over $1 million in iPhone AppStore sales since November 2009.
If you haven’t yet signed up, and you’ve got an itch for new iPhone apps that the AppStore’s top lists just can’t scratch, you’ll want to download and give Chorus a try. The app helps you answer the question “what apps are you using?” without having to actually ask the question. Simply invite your iPhone-wielding friends to use Chorus and you can easily browse their favorite iPhone apps from within Chorus.
Chorus also collects app recommendations from industry experts like us. “AppMavens,” as they’re called, are iPhone app authorities pushing trusted reviews and ratings throughout the Chorus network. Your friends may not always have the best app recommendations, but you can be sure that the Chorus AppMavens know what they’re talking about.
