If the app doesn’t find exact replacements it recommends similar ones. Search firm Quixey will power the app which will be searching through the apps-search engine and will use apps description, reviews of apps, known issues and other meta-data to recommend apps to users. Windows phone currently has 135,000 apps. The app will also search based on what a user wants to do, like if they want to cook food the app will recommend recipes apps on the store.
