Not a comment specifically on your app, but I found it amazing how quickly I closed out of this when the tutorial video showed up. I hadn't really thought of this before, and it might just be me, but most tutorial videos make me want to leave your site as quickly as possible.

I can't disagree more. I am the kind of person that is very unlikely to ever sign up for a site that doesnt have some kind of demo or a video. It takes only a minute or two to passively watch a video to see if something might be interesting, where signing up to use some new service is way past my level of interest. A video is a much lower barrier to entry than much else.

In its current form, adding a bookmark on a mobile device or iPad is impossible. You need to find a way to let users do that. You also need to add a way that people can delete there accounts since you're asking for our phone numbers

thanks for the feedback geuis. shoot me an email [satjot at appquu dot com] and I can delete your account.

Very cool. Like how lightweight it is, sending me an SMS is slick. Kind of wish you suggested more than just 4 apps, it'd be fun to browse a bunch and really take this for a spin. Minor feedback: your "30 second video" is 55 seconds :)

Also: there's no security/privacy on the URLs. For example, anyone is able to see mine: http://appquu.com/10/

Yea, we thought about that but decided it would be cool to have the apps in Quus to be public so that it can be shared with friends. For example, I sent my Quu link to my mom earlier today.
