App Discovery Center

We have all been there.  Searching endlessly for apps, scouring through the app catalogs only to get frustrated and quit.  Now Best Buy is putting an end to all that!

We have always been here helping our customers find the latest and greatest in technology and services, and we are continuing that trend with the new Best Buy App Discovery Center, a new tool that we have developed to make app searching quick, easy, and painless.  With the help of Appolicious we have taken the iTunes and Android app catalogs, and with have come up with a super easy and awesome search tool that makes searching those tens of thousands of apps less confusing and much less time consuming.

Research has shown that most app downloads are a result of word of mouth recommendations, in fact 40% of all downloads are from recommendations.  We are giving our Blue Shirts the opportunity to voice their favorite app recommendations.  Just type in your zip code and get the best information from a source you can trust.  You can even take the recommendation of your favorite Blue Shirt in YOUR favorite store.  How cool is that?

Of course you can still search for the “hottest” apps or the top free downloads.  We even took searching to a new level with being able to type in a simple phrase such as, “How do I improve my golf swing?” and the Discovery Center does all the work for you. 

How does it work?  The Best Buy App Discovery Center has organized the app catalogs of Itunes and Android into more than 1,200 popular categories to let you find apps in a specific area of interest.  We use an exclusive algorithm based on social, user-generated and editorial signals that provides you with the best search results.  Plus with the addition of Blue Shirts picks the endless and tiresome searching is over!
