Apptizr Served Over 3 Million App Recommendations, Offers Ability to See Apps Friends Own or Like

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, February 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Since the successful launch of the Apptizr website and iPhone app, Apptizr has served over three million personalized iPhone app recommendations to its users. Called the "Pandora for iPhone apps", Apptizr has been making iPhone app recommendations since the service launched two months ago. Increasingly, iPhone and iPod Touch users are turning to Apptizr to find the best apps that cater to their tastes.

To further help iPhone and iPod Touch users discover great apps, Apptizr has integrated with Facebook Connect, enabling users to see what apps their friends enjoy on the Apptizr website. Apptizr users can now find their Facebook friends on Apptizr.com, and "follow" them to see what apps their friends own or like. Since many iPhone users already exchange app recommendations offline, this new feature makes it easier than ever for users to discover great apps from their friends.

"Reaching three million app recommendations is a great milestone and a validation of the value Apptizr provides to our users," said David Li, CEO and Co-Founder of Apptizr. "With the newly released Facebook Connect integration, Apptizr users have a new source for app recommendations - from friends they trust. We are continuing to enhance our service to make Apptizr the easiest way for iPhone users to discover the best apps out there."

To celebrate its new Friends functionality, Apptizr is running a $300 iTunes Gift Card Sweepstakes in the month of February. Users will be entered into the drawing for the iTunes Gift Cards each time they invite a friend or follow a friend they find from Facebook . Additional entries are granted each time they invite someone to Apptizr via email. Details about this promotion can be found at http://apptizr.com/info/promo.

About Apptizr:
Apptizr was founded in 2009 with the mission of making it easy for iPhone and iPod Touch users to find great mobile applications based on their interests.

Apptizr solves this problem by using a proprietary algorithm to match each user's individual tastes to the right apps. In addition to the users' interests, Apptizr also accounts for app quality, recommending only the most highly-rated apps in each genre. The service is now in public Beta and is available for free at www.apptizr.com. The Apptizr app can be downloaded for free from the iPhone App Store.

Apptizr was developed by mobile and web industry veterans from Danger, PayPal, eBay, and Oodle. Apptizr is not affiliated with Apple Inc. or any mobile carrier. Apptizr is a product of Third Ave Labs. More information about Apptizr can be found at www.apptizr.com.
