Hey Mike. I think you've picked a great problem to solve. People are definitely willing to pay a monthly subscription for this type of service. (@nickmjones and I run http://limelightapp.com/ . $10/mo is our most popular plan, but we have folks at the high-end too.) I also think that everyone we know of in the space is just scratching the surface of what developers will respond to and pay for.

Love the simplicity of your clean templates, but also like the direction you're going in with the photo background and the hand model.

Looking forward to seeing how your service evolves! Best of luck!


Thanks a lot for the comments. I agree, there are tons of problems that need solving in the mobile app space. Best of luck to you as well.


I think that this kind of app have a strong potential to make people discover great applications! The idea is not new maybe, but the thing i not to simply have it, but how great and interesting you gonna make the concept… You guys have good ideas and i'm damn confident that it is gonna be a great product!


Hey guys, this looks seriously good. I am a friend of Rafa, I was in Montreal when Ooomf was at its early stages and it is such pleasant surprise to see it evolve into this. Make sure you keep working on Android, too. Kudos for such fine work!


I like it. Something to note - the confirmation e-mail has a from name of "hi", which went straight into my spam folder. You should think about changing that to something a little more descriptive.


Noted. Thanks for the heads up.


It looks great, but why target iPhone's specifically? Any plans to support Android in the future?

Edit: Not just Android, but WP7, iPad, Android tablets, etc?


Yes. Thanks for the comment. We're already working on supporting Android, tablet, and other mobile devices.


How does this compare with http://app.net/?


We make mobile app landing pages to drive interest/downloads for apps before and after they launch. Our designs are optimized for all devices (mobile, tablet, desktop), are easier to setup, and include built-in email collection, sharing mechanisms, and text to download (all for free).


most important. they are beautiful designs


I like it. It reminds me of launchrock but targeted precisely at iOS apps.


Thanks! We're also looking to build our product out to service all types of mobile devices as soon as we can.


Superb idea! Definitely keeping an eye out for this. Oompf me up!
