Earlier this year Apple acquired Chomp – a startup app-search service – presumably to help it improve app-search in iOS. The move seemed brilliant at the time because finding apps in the iOS App Store was more painful and tedious than hiking through the jungles of the Amazon.
App Store searching has improved a bit with iOS 6, but it’s still not great. We probably wont experience the full fruits of the Chomp acquisition for many more months, but if you look at the picture above, Apple’s already implemented Chomp’s search UI into the App Store. Do you think Apple plans to do more with Chomp and their app-search technology? Let us hear your thoughts in the comments.

One response to “Is This The Only Thing Apple’s Used Their Chomp Acquisition For So Far? [Image]”
There has to be some under hood improvements as well as just this card like UI. It was too expensive of an acquisition to just use the look of Chomp, at least in my opinion.
