Appmom Recommends Android Apps to Install and Uninstall

Earlier this week, Tokyo’s web service juggernaut EC Navi released the English version of Appmom (available here), an Android app that recommends apps to install based on your usage history. It also suggests that you uninstall those you will never use. The app is available for free with Android OS ver 2.1 or later.

Appmom pulls the usage state of apps on your Android handset and shows you a recommendation list of apps to be installed/uninstalled. Your occupation, generation, and a comparison of similar users will also affect the recommendation results. A series of recommended apps can be installed with one-touch, as can ‘unrecommended’ apps uninstalled with a single touch too.

There are several recommendation apps like Chomp that recommend the best set of Android apps for you. But I’ve never seen something like Appmom that recommends you to uninstall apps you’ve never used.

 

The app’s Japanese version was released almost one month ago, and the number of people downloading the apps was more than 5,000 as of September 12, according to Japan’s Android app ranking site AndroRank. Mrs. Naoko Tsubaki, the development manager of the app, expects to monetize it with an ad revenue model in the future.
