Where to Find Adobe AIR Applications to Try

July 5th, 2007 by Ryan Stewart

If you’ve been on the Adobe AIR labs page and downloaded the runtime, you’ve probably seen both our sample apps section and our showcase site. Both have good examples of what AIR can do and are excellent resources for anyone who wants to see what AIR is all about (and the sample apps page shows how good the install experience is). But those pages are all basically static and the community has been busy building all kinds of Adobe AIR applications that don’t show up there.

 Luckily there are two excellent sites to check out if you’re looking for more applications: ApolloHunter and AIRApps.ApolloHunter is a pretty straightforward application repository. You can comment on and rate different applications and as a result it’s easy to view the most popular applications on the site (though some of the older apps are running on the alpha runtime, not the most recent beta). AIRApps is more of a community for Adobe AIR. It has forums, a chat room, tutorials all in addition to the AIR application database. Both have a lot of different types of applications for you to check out and show the range of things that AIR enables.
