Chorus for iPhone® Now Available

With over 85,000 iPhone® applications available, finding the right ones can be hard. Introducing Chorus: a free iPhone app that helps you discover apps with the people you trust most – your friends.

Chorus is an intuitive, fun and easy way to connect with friends to see the apps they’re using, which apps they rate highly, and to stay up-to-date on the hottest new apps available. Now available for iPhone and iPod touch®, Chorus features real-time feeds from your designated friends, displaying the apps they are downloading, and what they are saying about them. You save time and money by viewing what your friends bought, and what they think about them, before you buy or download.

“Chorus makes the whole process of app discovery much more intuitive, fun, and engaging. With Chorus, it’s easy to stay abreast of relevant new apps with your friends. Chorus helps users connect with trusted friends from popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter,” said Manish Jha, President and CEO of envIO networks, the company behind Chorus.

“iPhone users already ask friends and colleagues about cool, new apps. Chorus makes it simple,” said Linda Barrabee, advisor to envIO networks, and a leading wireless industry analyst.

Chorus uses envIO’s proprietary Social GenomeTM technology to match your favorite apps against those your friends use, building a personalized and relevant list of recommended apps. Share your favorite apps through social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, and connect with friends standing right next to you.
