"Ads are only the best ads" (http://vk.com/app2461048)

The best ads to call this application is difficult.

Firstly, the tactics of daily logging into the application are used, in which you get points, and only with a minimum 3-day visit to the application. These points in the future you can use to improve the rating of your ad.

The application is very poorly implemented and causes some dissatisfaction with the work of the VC administration, which should check the applications properly before publication.

It seems that this application was made just for the sake of it.

Application features:

1) poverty of the functional;

2) very small integration with the social user profile account: only visitor data and "Tell friends" link;

3) categories that repeat the set of categories of VK ad service;

4) the need for points to add photos more than one (!) Pieces when placing an ad;

5) ill-conceived interface.

"Ads" (http://vk.com/app2467396)

The application is a complete copy of the former VKontakte service for posting ads and nothing new in fact does not bring.

Application features:

1) the convenience and simplicity of the already built-in VK ad service;

2) availability of all the same categories and cities for adding ads;

3) not very convenient arrangement of blocks of texts when viewing the list of announcements;

4) there are no additional filters for ad selection.

"Ads" (http://vk.com/app2630227)

The application collected the maximum number of users among applications for ads, but in spite of this the application does not have as many ads as it should, which suggests the promotion of the application is not natural.

After digging deeper, it is found that the developers of the application are owners of applications such as VKURCE, TopFace, and also LiceMer, which explains the rapid and rapid growth in the number of users of the application by "draining" users from existing applications into the application for ads.

Application features:

1) as soon as the user enters the application, he is immediately asked to set up access to notifications, friends and photos (and pursues this window until you still allow access to your data), and notifications after permission will come every day ;

2) transitions from the main page to categories in the Opera browser do not work, and when navigating in other browsers, the category page gives an ugly cursing page of a system error of the hosting provider (at the time of writing the article);

3) the application is not distinguished by the high degree of thoughtfulness of trivialities and the development of some new solutions for the convenience of finding ads. So, for example, adding an item for sale, you can enter only the cost in rubles, and adding photos does not imply selecting a photo from your VK albums;

4) completely lacks integration with the VC profile system, except for the identification of the user who installed the application and therefore it is unclear why it is necessary to allow access to the user's photo albums and his friends;

5) also there are no additional parameters when adding ads and, accordingly, there are no filters for more convenient selection of ads.

"Ads - There is Everything" (http://vk.com/app1915068)

The application is based on Flash technology, which on the one hand allows you to wait for a full load of the application once at the entrance to continue moving without significant delay in displaying the pages, but on the other hand makes the application slightly torn and not practical.

In particular, the distortion is manifested in the display of photos when viewing the ad, when displaying ads according to the selected categories and when displaying almost every page while "walking" on them.

The application almost completely repeats the already existing VK ad service and does not introduce innovations to interact with albums, friends and video recordings of the user.

Application features:

1) a small delay in displaying the application at the entrance (depends on the speed of the user's Internet);

2) fast loading of pages, based on Flash technology;

3) the already familiar list of categories of the departed VK ad service;

4) the problem of displaying applications in the presence of an outdated Flash-player.

"THEME - social network ads" (http://vk.com/adstema)

The application is a container, stylized for the user's VC page and visually shows the main functional blocks:

- announcements of friends;

- information articles for familiarization with the application;

- advertising;

- a block of large buttons for adding, managing ads and inviting friends;

- List of ad categories and list of ads.

The "friends" block allows you to not only view all the ads that your friends added, but also see which of your friends have already installed the application and who you can invite at the moment.

Each category is provided with sub-categories and a set of additional selection filters that include almost all possible product characteristics. For example, car filters can be selected not only by make and model, but also by color, year of production, price (in different currencies and their equivalents according to the rate), mileage and so on.

When creating an advertisement, the user is given the opportunity to work with both photo albums and video recordings to add them to the ad in unlimited quantities. And the rights to access the albums are requested as they are needed.

The personal cabinet allows you to observe the statistics of ad views, as well as view counter announcements (for example, for selling counter purchases are a buy ).

Also, in your personal account, you can create a subscription to the category of products you are interested in and receive notifications in the form of pop-up VK windows about the availability of new ads of this category, and at a convenient time for you and at a convenient frequency.

The application has many functions and improvements compared to the standard VC service and allows you to interact more closely with the user profile: add photos and videos from albums, invite friends, show ads to friends, create subscriptions and much, much more ...

Application features:

1) close integration with the user profile: photos, videos, friends, notifications;

2) the presence of multiple search filters for ads;

3) announcements of friends and friends in the application;

4) availability of reference information on the functioning and description of the application's capabilities (information block);

5) notification of interesting ads without entering the application;

6) convenience, intuitive interface, high speed;

7) constant improvement of the application;

8) the availability of many categories: real estate, transport, purchase of sales, services, work, acquaintances, business, recreation and tourism, places and events.

Thank you for attention!
