Mobile device with localized app recommendations

A method of recommending locally relevant applications, the method comprising:

• executing a first application on a mobile device, wherein the first application includes data entries with location data;
• extracting first location data from a first data entry, the first location data representing a first location;
• sending a query to a localized application ranking database-, wherein the query includes the first location data;
• receiving, from the localized application ranking database, one or more recommended applications based on the first location data and application usage data, wherein the one or more recommended applications are locally relevant to the first location;
• and
• displaying, on a display of the mobile device, the one or more recommended applications.

A computer product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions that when executed control a mobile device to discovering locally relevant applications, the instructions comprising:

• displaying, on a user interface of the mobile device, a plurality of graphical elements corresponding to a plurality of applications;
• determining a first set of locally relevant applications from the plurality of applications by sending a query to a localized application ranking database, wherein the query includes location data representing a location of interest, and wherein the first set of locally relevant applications are locally relevant to the location of interest based on application usage data;
• determining a second set of applications that are not locally relevant to the location of interest based on results of the query;
• and
• visually distinguishing, on the user interface, first graphical elements corresponding to the first set of locally relevant applications from second graphical elements corresponding to the second set of applications that are not locally relevant.

A mobile device configured to discover locally relevant applications, the mobile device comprising a memory and one or more processors configured to:

• display, on a user interface of the mobile device, a plurality of graphical elements corresponding to a plurality of applications;
• determine, by the mobile device, a first set of locally relevant applications from the plurality of applications by sending a query to a localized application ranking database, wherein the query includes location data representing a location of interest, and wherein the first set of locally relevant applications are locally relevant to the location of interest based on application usage data;
• determine, by the mobile device, a second set of applications that are not locally relevant to the location of interest based on results of the query;
• and
• visually distinguish, on the user interface, first graphical elements corresponding to the first set of locally relevant applications from second graphical elements corresponding to the second set of applications that are not locally relevant.
