Hello and welcome to Appys.com, a brand new website from Carphone Warehouse dedicated to unlocking your smartphone’s potential through the power of apps.

We love these downloadable bundles of joy so much that, hot off the success off our Appys: 2012 Awards, we’ve created a year-round guide to our favourites.

It doesn’t matter whether you use an iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone or Symbian handset. Whatever your smartphone preference, we intend to highlight the best apps available spanning everything from Angry Birds to Draw Something.

Whether it’s the latest app-related news, how to features, top five lists or good old reviews you’re interested in, we’ve got it covered. In print and video too!

All our contributors are experts in the smartphone field with a combined lifetime’s worth of experience in technology journalism. If there’s an app worth owning, you’ll be the first to know about it.

So go on, dig into our wealth of content and, if you like what you watch and read, follow us on Facebook and Twitter for all our latest musings.

App review submissions

If you’re a developer looking to get your creation reviewed on Appys.com then good news, our doors are open to great downloads wherever they come from.

To submit an app all you need to do is email us with an APK file of the app and any relevant press release details. Be sure to use the phrase ‘App Submission’ in the message’s subject line though.
