Wow.
Seriously, wow.
We didn’t expect that folks. If you’re one of the more than 85,000 (man, that count keeps jumping, it’s fun for the team to watch it jump…) people who have downloaded our app store and now find yourself here, wanting to know why there aren’t more apps, we want to say 2 things:
- Thank you thank you thank you!
- We’re working as hard as we can. Be patient, talk to us, keep checking out the app store and we promise that you’ll be impressed with us.
Last week, we launched, quietly.
We thought we’d be lucky if a few online blogs talked about us and we hoped that we could go out and approach some developers that we know in order to share our site and idea with them.
Really, folks, we just wanted to go talk to developers about making a new category of application: apps without restrictions.
We thought we were keeping it simple.
Then we released, we told some people about it and then…..
all of YOU showed up, downloading our app by visiting http://www.mikandi.com on your mobile phones.
(Oh, and a lot of developers did too

It’s been a hectic week here at MiKandi. We can barely keep up with the requests from developers, we’re working with developers to get their apps published and we’re building out an entire User and Developer portal.
We didn’t really think that so many of you would be interested right away, so we’re cranking as fast as we can to catch up with you. We hope that you’ll be patient with us and help us build something special here: a new kind of app store, the kind that lets you be an adult on your phone.
Thanks again for checking us out!
I’m just a consumer (not a dev), but I downloaded the MiKandi app store the day Phandroid published its article about you guys. My wife and I are excited to see how the store develops.
One thing I would really like: the ability to rate apps! I see that there are blank stars, which suggests that the ability is coming (or it’s already there and I’m a dumbass), but a way to provide feedback to devs would really help stimulate app growth.
Well, keep up the great work!
Mikol, we really appreciate your compliments and want to say, first of all, THANK YOU and your wife for downloading our app. We’re excited to develop the store along with you
You’re right, the ability to rate and review apps is coming, once our User Portal is launched. By year’s end, you’ll be able to register an account and start leaving your feedback. Thanks for asking about it!
