Let me add an app while I wait for the confirmation email. Don't display it until my account is confirmed.
I second this. Is there a reason for needing to login when adding an app or review? I only say this because I saw an article today on getting rid of logins. What about just requiring a captcha?
I will remove the login until app creations become problematic.

Hey, Thanks tstegart. I whole-heartedly agree. The categories, aside from high quality reviews are the most important part. When you want to find the best app for a particular use, you don't really care about how good it is for some other use. To me, it's kind of like Yelp - sometimes I want to just know what has the best food, and don't care about the service. Sometimes I want to know both. What I'm still trying to…
To be honest, having the call-to-action to write a review separated from the main text doesn't help. Right now, you've put your ads in between where you learn about the app and where you find the review button. It almost completely ruins the work your interface (which is great by the way) is doing to get people to click on the review button. I'm not sure having the ads there is worth the ruination of your review butt…

Going on 30 minutes now with no confirmation email. Checked spam, not there either.
Hi John, Doh! I'm not sure what happened here. I resent the email to your info address.
Link directly to each site from the browse/search results page. I want the option to skip your site summary page and quickly open ten blogging sites in new tabs for comparison.
On the summary pages, I almost didn't realize there were reviews. If there are only one or two, it's not enough content for me to realize it just by looking at my scrollbar. That adwords block is going to be a wall for most people. I'd remove the screenshot altogether and put truncated reviews right next to the vital details.
Edit: There's another reason for removing the screenshot - for me, it just registers as a flash ad, and I almost don't even look at it. At http://www.wappied.com/apps/mint my brain wants to think that's a Vista ad on the right. Once you do look at it, it's still only about a quarter of its original size, so you're absorbing purely visual data(does it look cool?), which you already kind of get from the nice-sized logo.

I agree. I took the ads and pushed them to the bottom. To your point, creating a review has to be incredibly easy. I think there are a couple other things UI-wise that can be done to make sure of this, like letting users click on the stars under the app's name, to create their own review
Some people will want to do a quick review, others will want to leave a comment, and still others will want to fully explain how it helped them or what they liked/disliked. This way you take into account various user participation levels with the app the user is reviewing. The final rating could be a weighted average of the three types of reviews, with in-depth and commented reviews being rated higher. Knowing your review will count more and be more important if you put more effort into it is another psychological tool to get people to write about the apps they care about.

I got it now. But at first, I didn't recognize it was from you. Put "Wapp'ied" somewhere in the subject and change the from address to be support@wappied.com. Wapp'ied isn't mentioned anywhere in the email until after "Regards,". It looks like a phishing email up until that point.
