FAQ
appsfire, How does it work?
appsfire allows you to share your favorite iPhone and Android Apps with your friends. Download the
Appsfire app for iPhone or
Appsfire for Android to create a profile.
iOS users, you can also keep your apps synced with
Appsfire Sync. All you have to do is download and install
Appsfire Sync on your Mac or PC. We'll scan your apps on iTunes so you can create your MyApps profile. With your MyApps profile, you can share your apps any way you'd like - email, social network or widget. Your profile will also sync directly with the
Appsfire iPhone app when you install it.
What's an app?
An app is the abbreviation for "application". We hope you don't need us to tell you what an application is :) If you need to know, applications are downloadable programs from the iTunes, Android, or other "app stores". Note that Appsfire only supports iOS and Android apps at this time.
We do not support Ovi (Nokia), Blackberry, Windows Mobile or web apps at this time.
What apps can I get from Appsfire?
I want to sync my apps. Does appsfire work with all iPhones?
Yes, and with iPod Touch too!
Does appsfire work with the iPad?
Does Appsfire Sync work with Mac, PC and Linux?
Until Apple releases iTunes for Linux, we cannot support it. We do support Mac and PC.
Does Appsfire Sync work for Android?
No need! You can sync your Android apps right from your Android device with our
Android app.
Does Appsfire work with jailbroken iPhones?
No. At least not for now.
How do I install an app recommended by someone?
Whether it's an iOS or Android app, a download is always just a click or a tap away. Appsfire directs to you to Apple's App Store or Android Market, both on the web and your mobile device.
Will Appsfire Sync mess up my iTunes/iPhone?
No, there is no impact on your iTunes or iPhone whatsoever.
How do I delete my data?
Simply open your Account Settings by clicking your name at the top right-hand corner of our website. There you'll be able to delete your account and all your data.
Is Appsfire free?
Yes. Of course if you decide to download a paid app mentioned in appsfire, you will have to purchase it on iTunes as usual.
Can I create multiple profiles?
The system only syncs one device - the last one with which you performed a backup. If you would like to replace your app profile, backup the apps for this device, force a re-scan of all apps, and then immediately make a bookmark for that device.
How about my privacy?
Unless you opt to post all your apps publicly, all of your data is 100% private. You can opt to share some apps but not others, or you can delete your profile entirely.
We do not transfer, or sell or exchange your data with third parties, period. Like many popular web services and social networks, we may make commercial use of anonymous, aggregate data (i.e., general statistical analysis).
Please read our
privacy policy for more details.
Will you spam me or my friends?
We never have and never will.
Is Appsfire legal?
Yes, of course. We only allow users to share their list of applications. The apps have to be installed according to Apple's and Android's rules.
