			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-7999" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/chomp.png" alt="chomp" width="255" height="110" />Sometimes, finding the right tool for the job can be hard. The app store now has millions of apps which can do just about anything. Apple’s slogan &#8211; “There’s an app for that” rings true. What’s more, the App Store’s search feature is known to be rubbish and biased. <a href="http://chompapps.com/">Chomp</a> however, a new app which recommends apps based on user reviews isn’t.</p>
<p>It has just gone live on the App Store itself and with Digg founder Kevin Rose on board they have a good chance of taking off in a competitive market. Here’s how it works.</p>
<p>When you load the app, you’re greeted by a home screen with four option;  Live App Reviews, Recommendations, Add People and Bookmarked Apps.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8000" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/chomp-2.PNG" alt="chomp 2" width="320" height="480" /></p>
<p>The App review section allows you to see what others think of apps (in the form of a ‘heart’ for good and a ‘broken heart’ for bad) and give your own reviews. Actually reviewing apps yourself is important as it opens up the apps community aspect which allows you to interact with other users and ‘Friend’ them. The recommendations section gives you a list of apps which the system thinks you may like based on your previous downloads. Kind of like TiVo for apps. Finally, you can bookmark apps for later.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8002" src="http://crenk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/chomp-3.PNG" alt="chomp 3" width="320" height="480" /></p>
<p>Chomp make their money via an affiliate program. So for every app you download via Chomp they get a small percentage at no extra cost to you. This is a promising app and well worth a try for the iPhone power-users among us.
