AndroidTapp.com Android App Review:

Features:

Mippin Android App is a social media aggregate of content for mobile devices; typically from Blogs and News sources (provided there is a valid RSS feed). You enter your favorite blog or news website into the search (if not already submitted) and Mippin consumes, strips and compresses the content and images to display within the app. The app has its pros and cons; whereas viewing/reading content via the app is typically faster to load in a clean interface, yet all relevant links and content formatting is stripped… which is one of the strengths in blog writing formats. You can still view and comment on blog posts, view the original post, recommend a story, send via Email and post it on Twitter. The service allows you to create a profile; share and save stories. Bringing in some Twitter traits, once your profile is created you can follow and message similar followers.

In addition to searchable content, Mippin offers predefined Categories such as News, Sports, Video, Mobile, Tech, Celebs, TV & Film, plus more. There are ancillary Android widgets of specific channels for your home screen too:

Mobile Buzz	Gaming Buzz	Tech Buzz
Gossip Buzz	News Buzz

Usefulness & Frequently Used:

Mippin Android App is great for mobile users to want the power of an RSS reader mixed with the stickiness of social media.

Ease of Use:

The app is as easy as browsing a mobile website (in fact, that’s just what it is).

Interface:

One of the key ingredients with this app is the simplicity and organization of the user interface.

So to recap our 1st week of launching (and so much has gone on).

1. We launched with nearly 500 Unique visitors that viewed almost 3,500 pages. Pretty OK for the first day. At that rate for a month we’d project almost 15,000 Unique visitors viewing about 105,000 pages. We opened AndroidTapp.com with 36 Android Apps that were ready for rating (only 2 reviewed by us; Cooking Capsules’ Taster and ShopSavvy… we promise we’ll catchup and review them all). Speaking of catching up, the Android Market has about 400 apps, so we’re covering just under 10% of them… that’ll change .

2. Four blog articles were streamed out:

• Cell Phones put Pay Phones to Rest
• Has the Number of Smart Phones Tripled?
