Help Guide

Your First Search

SearchApps understands natural language. Instead of typing keywords, describe what you need:

• Good: "I need an app to track my water intake"
• Good: "apps for meal planning with grocery lists"
• Good: "a better notes app that syncs with my Mac"
• Less ideal: "water app" (too vague)

The more context you provide, the better results you'll get.

Understanding Search Results

Each app card shows:

• Rating & Reviews: The App Store rating and number of reviews
• Price: Free or the app's price
• Insight: Why this app matches your search
• Reddit Demand: How many users have requested this type of app

Search

Use natural language to describe the app you're looking for. You can also search for alternatives to apps you already know:

• "apps like Notion but simpler"
• "Instagram alternatives with better privacy"
• "Evernote but with better sync"

SearchApps will find apps that match your description and show you why each one might be a good fit.

Be Specific

"I need an app to track my running with GPS and training plans" will give better results than "running app".

"A todo app without subscriptions" helps us filter out apps with recurring costs.

Include Your Use Case

"A notes app for students with handwriting support" gives context that improves results.

Try Different Phrasings

If you don't find what you want, try rephrasing. "Budget tracker" and "expense manager" might give different results.
