Interesting Idea.

Things it needs:

1) A browse feature, so you can see other peoples screens

2) A mobile optimized homepage, so using it from the iPhone is more attractive.

3) A reminder of how to take a screenshot on an iPhone :)

4) A better way of handling "non-apps", both folders and mobile-optimized sites on my home screen confused it.

5) Perhaps a recommendation engine for new apps based on the apps on the screen.

Like at a grocery store?

Good idea but need to be polished. Many false match, see http://appetite.io/a/daf97fec

Besides the features mentioned by nmcfarl, it would be great to enable a direct upload from iPhone after taking the snapshot, e.g., send via email.

was waiting to see if someone asked for it :)

take a screenshot of a home screen[1], go to photos and send it to post@appetite.io

thanks for the feedback

Ashton's homescreen lists UberDrive instead of Uber. Sounds like the recognition's not quite there yet.

it seems like uber swapped the icons for driver/consumer in their recent update. catching multiple versions of the same icon is something on the todo as well.

thanks for bringing that to our attention, peter.
