The growth and consumption of apps since initial release has been phenomenal and I think this is based on 2 main factors. The first, the ability for anyone with a Mac computer and internet connection to download the SDK, start developing and then release an app has given everyone an opportunity to get an app in the app store.
The second point is how we, the consumers, have had a growing hunger for these apps since day one of the app store. Maybe you're interested in game or news apps, social networking or entertainment, all categories are covered and there's something for everyone. There are of course other factors such as the relatively low cost of most apps and things would never taken off if it weren't for the excellent, intuitive, user friendly platform Apple has created to run these apps.
But personally, I think the 2 points mentioned above are why apps are so popular and why they'll continue to grow rapidly in the next 3-5 years. However, with this growth in apps brings problems for consumers. How do you find what top apps are available, You could look on the app store and check out the top 25 or latest featured apps.
This is great and popularity often tells us we're onto a winner (eBay Mobile isn't in the top 25 because it's useless!). These apps were hunted out, stumbled upon, emailed to me or simply recommended. These are the more obscure apps, the apps that are excellent in every possible way but haven't had the exposure they need to get noticed in the app store.
Looking at it from the other side, the rapid growth in apps makes it important to developers (especially to small, independent developers with limited marketing budgets) that they promote using all the marketing tips and techniques available. One of the most cost effective (and often free) ways of getting your apps noticed is by submitting them to app review sites.
Review sites help consumers make informed decisions and get your apps noticed, especially if reviews are favourable. Getting your app noticed will become even more of a challenge in the future. Hopefully, you're more aware of the need for app review sites.
