Not sure who it'd help. Are you that afraid of talking to your friends directly?

It's more ment to save you the time, typing a list of 100+ app-names. I'm not afraid of talking to friends. But when I met them, i'd rather won't use the valuable time to talk them through a huge list of iPhone applications.

I like it and think it might be useful! Perhaps integrate it with Facebook (as an app) so that you can amplify it's social aspect. The design is great too.

One minor gripe is that i was served the German language version by default. Unless you are targeting 99% Germans, perhaps it should be the other way around.

I've been thinking about a few ideas relating to app recommendations, and I wish there were a way to do this on the device instead of running something on your computer. Having to run something on your computer is really going to limit adoption of a system like this.

That said, I think this is a good way to work with what's available.

there was an article about bump's new app recommendation feature on techcrunch the other day. ios 4 lets you pull a list of recently opened apps...

Thanks. And, yes of course. But sadly there is no API available and the only other direct alternative is to "print out" a list in iTunes.

Also appshopper.com, but the have to mutch overhead for simply sharing your apps, imho.

There is not a way to do this on the device (on iOS, while not jailbroken)

The current tendency of websites to use font-shadows to give text an engraved look is extremely irritating; it reduces readability (which is already very low given that you're using grey text on a light blue background), and makes the text look somewhat blurry. I will admit that it can look good, but only when used sparsely; using it for all the text in a page is a bit much.

Also, you might want to do some grammar-checking on the English version of the site. "We where frustrated" should be "We were frustrated," "That's why we build applist.me" should be either "That's why we built applist.me" or "That's why we're building applist.me," in "which short-link ist yours" "ist" should be "is." There are some other issues with commas, and a few places where the phrasing is awkward or contradictory ("There are no restrictions at the moment. As long as you can remember your link" could be reduced to just one sentence, and in fact either of the component sentences would work perfectly well as an answer to the question).
