Apptitude makes app discovery more social and a lot more fun. See apps from your closest friends, find the trending apps in your network, and unlock rewards for sharing and checking out new apps.
The beta version of Apptitude will release by early Q2 2011. We previously launched a music app called Hitmaker, which served as a testbed for our platform. Launched at TechCrunch Disrupt in May, it reached #9 on the App Store, and has over 200K users generating more than 3M social recommendations.
