Chomp, iPhone Apps Discovery App – Needs To Improve Lousy Recommendations

Chomp's bad recommendations

I like Chomp quite a bit as an iPhone apps discovery and recommendations app, but the more I use it the more I ‘m finding that its recommendations are utterly useless.

The parts of the app I like are the live reviews from users “ seeing them and contributing my own. When I go to the Recommendations page though, it ‘s pure disappointment.  The app claims that it makes recommendations based on my reviews.  Well I ‘ve made over 100 reviews and not one of them was for a ‘sexy bikini girls ‘ type app, or anything even close, yet I still receive numerous recommendations for just that sort of app.

The app ‘s recommendations really seem just all over the map and just about completely random “ and each individual suggestion gives you no clue what it is supposed to be based on (as Apple ‘s Genius and other discovery apps do).

Again, I like the overall concept of Chomp and enjoy using it to add live reviews, but I really wish they ‘d make some major improvements to the recommendations side of it.

You can see more info on Chomp at its App Store page HERE, and it ‘s a free app.

Are any of you Chomp users?  If so, what is your experience with its recommendations?
