Comprehensive

★ 2,500,000+ apps and games are indexed (2,000,000+ available in the US)
★ Local prices and age ratings for 200+ countries / regions
★ 8 search operators, 10+ filters, 6 sort options

Advanced keyword search

Powerful, reliable, and easy

App Finder returns all and only results that "completely" match the query. That is, all words / phrases from the query are required to occur (if OR is not used). Different word forms are allowed.

As is shown with many detailed examples on our website, this consistently leads to significantly more relevant results than "incomplete matching", which is used in many other search engines.

In addition to usual search operators (quotes, OR, minus, parentheses), there are some special ones:

★ + to require words or phrases in title or summary, which can often improve the specificity of queries significantly
★ The special OR operator / that has another priority than OR and can be used inside quotes
★ # and @ to search for title and developer name by prefix

The integrated help explains all this in detail.

The keywords are highlighted in the results.

AI-based natural-language search is planned as an alternative to keyword search.


All the filters you may need

With one tap, you can filter for apps without ads, for free or paid apps, and for apps with or without in-app purchases.

There are special sliders to filter for
★ user rating,
★ number of ratings and downloads,
★ update date and release date,
★ price range and in-app price range,
★ required Android version and target-API,
★ age rating.

There is a category filter with multi-select.

To discover less-known apps, you may also filter for app with few ratings or downloads.


Systematic sort options

In addition to relevance, you can sort by
★ User rating
★ Number of ratings up / down
★ Release date up / down


Result count

App Finder immediately shows the exact result count when a query is entered or filters are applied, so that you can adjust the search if there are more or less results than you want to inspect.


All essential data directly in the result list

See the screenshots.

★ The user rating is shown with up to two decimals, country-average, world-average, or both
★ The colorful stars indicate the rating distribution
★ It is always indicated if an app contains ads, and the price range of in-app products is shown


Scalable screenshots & short descriptions in the result list

The screenshots can be scrolled and scaled using pinch-to-zoom.

Feature graphics from the developers are included.


World-average user ratings for apps without country-average ratings

World-average ratings are available for many more apps than country-average ratings (e.g., about 3 times more for the US, 7 times more for the UK, and 28 times more for Ireland).


Easy to use, with integrated documentation

App Finder was designed to be as intuitive as possible.

However, some things still require explanation, so there is comprehensive help integrated.


Many important improvements and further features are in development!


All essential features are free, without ads

No sign-in is required.

Some advanced features require a small in-app purchase, a free trial is available.

Ratings and reviews

Honestly, even though it closes suddenly and searches sometimes need to be redone, this is still BY FAR the best play store search I've found, in or out of the play store, websites included. I still really would love a permissions search, eg. A search for the term "Note" with the "Appear on top" permission to find Floating Note-like apps.

Super easy to navigate and explore apps in a different way. I got lucky and got the first tier premium for free and honestly after being able to try it, it's incredibly worth it. If you're looking for a better way to navigate apps to use, free works wonders and the first premium does practically everything you'd want it to. Some how there's even more options I wouldn't have thought of in higher tiers that I'm interested in. It's 110% worth using and worth spending a few $$$ on.

If I could donate I would - such a lovely information rich app that caters to so many use cases. Looking for a great rated educational game for your kid with no ads/iap - it's got you covered. For a puzzle app for yourself with lots of updates, covered. Tools that do what they say without selling you things? They exist! Find them using this app!
