iUseThis: iPhone app popularity ratings

Site seems dificult to find things...would much prefer to use the Staff Favorites or Top Apps features on iTunes.

Here are my favourite app review.

Please give some stars. I won't get any money. Just makes me feel good. :)

Buddy:
iusethis' frontpage actually shows the newest releases, not the most used apps of all time.

We also have two different pages doing ranking: top and popular.

Top displays the all-time most used apps.
Popular displays the current most popular apps.

The reason for these being very similar now, is because of the lack of history data on the iphone version.

If you look at http://osx.iusethis.com/popular compared to http://osx.iusethis.com/top you will see a big difference in what you see.

We are still working on this and certainly haven't nailed it yet, but we are aware of the issues and working hard towards fixing it.

The problem with this site is that the most popular apps stay at the top unlike the continuous refresh of Digg's front page throug the day. Also, there isn't a Top 24 hrs or Top in Week. This is kind of the same problem Digg has with their podcast section. The most popular doesn't refresh. Items at the top get reinforce their position because they're most visible.

Just saw this $999.99 app in iTunes!! This should be getting popular even if nobody buys it.

Nice find Erica, thanks! I've come to realize that actually trying to find useful apps on the store is a waste of time. I try to rely on word of mouth from friends and other users.

For an example of why I no longer browse the store, look in TUAW's Tip line for what I just sent you.
