Hubbl - Social App Discovery

Today’s app of the day is Hubbl.

As readers will appreciate, there are more great applications on Google Play than the average user will ever have a chance to experience. For this reason, it is great to have someone sort through the app market and work out what is good, and what is not.

Of course, Google attempt to do this with features applications, editors picks, staff choices, etc – but these are rarely updated, and all feature a familiar suite of applications that many users have already tried.

So if you want more than the opinion of a Google editor, or Google staff to help find new apps, what is better than socialising the entire experience, and taking recommendations from the masses? If this sounds appealing – then you should definitely check out Hubbl and give “social app discovery” a try.
 
The first thing you will notice when using Hubbl is the polished interface, this is a great looking app that runs very smoothly.  After logging in you will be presented with a variety of ways to discover new apps. These include “suggestions” from both friends and the world at large, “Explore”, which allows you to browse popular #tags and apps, “Activity”, which lets you see what your friends are up to, and “Appstronauts” which lets you browse the top Hubbl users and see what apps they are using.

 Finally, Hubbl features a very cool “Sky View” mode, which allows you to scroll through a clean icon based interface (similar to an Android app menu) and quickly check out which apps are in the news. This is probably one of the quickest ways to discover new apps. Clicking on an app will allow you to download it through Google Play, favourite it, add it to a ‘to do’ list or even share it with other users.

All in all, if you have an addition to new applications and find yourself trawling through Google Play for new apps, put those days behind you and check out Hubbl!
