Facebook is continuing the international rollout of its apps marketplace. The company announced that in addition to the U.S. and UK, Facebook users in Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa can now access the App Center via the left-hand side of the News Feed as well as in Facebook’s apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
Facebook’s App Center launched in the U.S. early last month. It’s similar to Apple’s, Google’s and Amazon’s app stores, allowing users to browse apps by category, such as Games or Sports, and filter to show apps that are available via the web, mobile or both. Apps are recommended based on collective ratings, personal recommendations, what’s trending and popularity among your friends. Conveniently, if users select an app while browsing in the App Center, they can opt to be reminded to install the app the next time they turn on one of their mobile devices.
Facebook said the App Center would continue to arrive in more countries “over the coming weeks.”
The App Center is now available to everyone in the United States, Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. People in these countries will now see the App Center bookmark on the left side of their home page on Facebook.com and in the Facebook apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android.
Approximately 80% of people active on Facebook each month are outside the U.S. and Canada. The global rollout of the App Center will continue over the coming weeks so that more people can discover high quality games and apps with friends.
