Rate my startup: Zwapp, a unique social view of the App Store (opens in new tab)

There is only one point in the app where we ask (politely) if you are willing to tweet about Zwapp.

That is in the autoshare section of Settings. You remain in control at all times about posts. You can turn sharing to social networks on/off but everything defaults to off.

We'll look into that, it shouldn't be like that. We will not actually post anything though.

Its a three month project that we did. The app is free and will remain free. It is born out of a frustration that finding apps is becoming more difficult and that browsing the App Store just isn't working. In real life, the first thing we do is compare apps on our phones, so why not do that on your phone too.

Just connect with your friends (using Facebook, Twitter, or your contact list) and you can then browse your friends apps. Zwapp detects apps automatically on your device with a few clever tricks.

Also the real-time feed shows you the apps your friends are downloading now, reviews, likes etc.

We really want to do an Android version, it is a great platform too. We are working on Android already.

We want to strengthen our Android team so if you know any good Android devs they can contact us for a job!

I agree. You should definitely do an Android version. The Android Market could use a social interface too.

We have affiliate links set up which will provide some revenue.

The site is still very clean, almost Instagr.am -ish, but we are also working on a web view where you can see and share each others app profiles (see http://www.zwapp.com/users/237 for a work in progress example).

because not every user wants that, and tbh we're a bit unhappy with the reliability of both FB and Twitter.

Where are you accessing it from? Seems to work fine here, although we are getting a spike in traffic now
