Quixey and other app finding tools

I am adding another search engine to my search toolkit.

Quixey has been around since 2009, but it’s new to me.  The search was designed to

solve a problem – millions of apps were being created, but there was no simple way to find them. App discovery was limited to categories, top ten lists, directories and basic keyword search. Quixey was created to help people easily find apps simply by describing want they wanted to do.

.

But if you prefer the directory (or the blog review) approach, here are a few additional choices:

• APPitic, a collection of 1300+ apps for education
• Daryl Grabarek’s SLJ Touch and Go blog.
• Apps in Education apps listed by learning area
• I Education Apps Review (IEARN) a community effort to grade educational apps.
• iPads in Education (a Ning community)
• makeuseof Directory of Apps
• Appolicious a mobile app discovery service associated with Yahoo!
