Facebook has launched App Center, a new section of the social
networks where they have collected all the applications that can interact with
its systems. The goal is to make it easier to search and install the app to
your account. App Center is also used to keep track of installed applications
and see their warnings and requests in a single page on the social network.
The new section of Facebook has introduced graphics which are
substantially as essential as the rest of the social network. The left column
shows a list with different categories to find applications. The categories
include, among other things, games, entertainment, photos, sports and news.
Clicking on a section in the column on the right shows a list of apps ordered
according to particular filters: Top rated, recommended, popular and friends.
This filter is used to show only the applications (in a specific category) that
have been used more recently by members of Facebook friends. The left column is
always present and enables new searches at any time.
Currently, there is no proper way of rating an app on demand.
Usually, at random users are provoked to provide star ratings through various
modules. With this rating style, manipulation of user’s and developer’s can be reduced.
The product manager at Facebook told Appostroiphic , it is considering new
options which will allow app ratings directly from App Center page.
These ratings will take an App to a better placement in App
Center; which means that developers need to know the way how to get positive
ratings. However, there is no defined way to rate Facebook app, by the time it
will go over various ways. The ratings are listed either in the News Feed on
the hover cards or on the App Center page where users can not give their own
ratings.
Appostrophic believes that to keep the rating platform fair
for all developers, Facebook apps should keep this random sampling approach and
allows its users to rate apps through modules in App Center.
