Something tells me this guy won't be posting much.

Either way, doesn't seem like something I would use, especially without aa demo first.

They can be sure I will tell no one about this application.

Hey bangbang023,

We'll try and be active in the forums, although we have just registered. =)

Anyway, the AppRocket download is a free 30-day demo as well! Please let us know (here or via e-mail) if you experience any troubles with it and we will try and address it immediately.

Enjoy!

what does it do exactly? I'm not one to bash an app right away and as long as you aren't spamming the forum, I am interested. Minus the fluff from your site, what is the main purpose of this app?

The basic idea is, you can access files on your computer quickly using an abbreviated search that learns as you use it. So, you type 'IE' and hit Return and Internet Explorer runs - and the next time you type 'IE' AppRocket remembers how often it is accessed and ranks it higher or lower based upon that.

So, you have a hotkey to access AppRocket, type a few keys to find a document, MP3 file or an application and hit return. After a while it simply becomes a twitch on your keyboard to access any file on your computer.

I hope that makes sense, it's actually quite hard to explain in a sentence or two. It is really useful though - though I am one of the authors so I might be considered biased

If you would like some more explaination, please let me know. We are a relatively new company trying to make really nice software, we haven't gotten down the marketing bit yet...

no offence, but it doesnt sound very promising for a pay software

No offense taken!

It is really a wonderful piece of software and it's something you have to try to truly understand. It's a way of accessing information on your computer much faster using just your keyboard. It's not just for applications and documents, you can search your music as well (and later email, address book contacts...).

AppRocket pulls ID3 information out from music files, so you can search over large music collections too using the same interface and search engine. It also takes up very little screen real-estate too!

just installed it i'll let you all know what i think tomorrow I'll be using it all night

hmm, maybe ill try it out after al.. I'll let u know tomorrow

I am very interested in that learning system. The concept of ranking is a cool idea. Maybe I will give this a try later.

Awesome!

Clearly we have to work on our website to make it clear what AppRocket actually does. Once people download it and try it, they then realize how useful it really is (usually).

Well, it's really cool of you all to check it out - please let us know if you have any troubles, thanks.
