- Enjoy browsing through tons of different apps lists brought to you by Nokia and App Social BETA users around the world
- While you browse you can thank users for cool app lists
- Sign in to create and share lists of apps with your friends and with the world in order to gain thanks and followers for your lists
- Search for your friends and tech celebrities to start following them and gain insights from their lists of apps
