Discover what’sbeing built.
A UK-first home for new apps. People discover ideas, betas and live apps from UK builders, and founders can ask real people quick questions before they decide.
Overview
AppDrop is a place to find new apps from UK builders at every stage, from a first idea to a live product. Anyone can post their own app for free, follow the ones they like and upvote what deserves attention. Founders will be able to ask quick multiple-choice questions and pay per answer, and the people who answer earn for each one.
One of our own. The idea, the design and the build are all Tony’s, the person behind Plucky Studio.

The challenge
One website has to work for three different people: someone browsing for new apps, a founder who wants honest opinions before committing, and someone happy to answer a few questions for a small reward.
Each of them needs to understand what AppDrop is within seconds and see the way in that is meant for them, without the other two getting in the way.
Our approach
The homepage leads with discovery, because that is what everyone shares, and then gives founders and participants a clear section each. The menu follows the same three paths: Discover, For founders and Earn, with one account serving all of them.
The design is quiet on purpose: plenty of white space, one blue, and the apps themselves as the content. Every app carries a plain stage label, Idea, Building or Live, so a visitor knows what they are looking at before they click.
Key pages and features
Discover
Search, filter and sort every app, with its stage, category, pricing model and platforms shown on the listing.
Stages, from idea to live
An app can be posted before a line of code exists, and its page grows with it.
A cost calculator for founders
Choose the number of questions and the number of people, and the price is worked out in front of you before you commit.
Earn
Participants answer quick multiple-choice questions about new apps and are paid for every answer.
Leaderboards
Apps, founders and participants ranked on real upvotes, by week, by month or for all time. Nothing on them can be bought.
