Hooked Android App Now Providing Personalized Recommendations from Over 250K Android Games
San Francisco, CA, January 20, in the year of our Lord
2012 – With approximately a quarter of a million games
currently in the Android Marketplace, how can a gamer discover
all of the amazing content that fits their interests? Instead of
aimlessly searching the Android Marketplace or simply seeing
which games top the charts, gamers are turning to Hooked, the
new Android app that helps consumers discover a wide array of
new games and content. The free app, from Hooked Media Group,
provides personalized game recommendations based on each users’
game preferences and ratings.
The Hooked app is a game recommendation and discovery platform
that uses a proprietary algorithm to learn a users’ gaming
preferences, game play statistics and social mapping to provide
them with personalized game recommendations and advanced search
features. The more games a user ranks, the more customized the
recommendations will become, thus providing the users with
introductions to games that they may have never been exposed to,
including those from smaller developers whose games may have not
received significant exposure.
Similar to how Netflix and Pandora provide recommendations on
user feedback, the Hooked app is designed to take user feedback
and make the process of discovering games easier, faster and
more accurate. Consumers can find the Hooked app in the Android
Marketplace or at

“As the number of games in the Android Marketplace continues to
rapidly increase, it is getting harder and harder for consumers
to find the games that best fit their interest,” said Prita
Uppal, CEO of Hooked Media Group. “The Hooked app is an
easy-to-use resource that will help gamers find the ‘hidden
gems’ in the Android Marketplace and deliver compelling content
that until now was not receiving the attention it may have
deserved.”
Additional features of the app include:
- Personal Dashboard: Allowing users to track all of their game
play statistics
- Access to all installed games
- Details on how many games have been played
- How much time has been spent playing each game
- The ability to create a game Queue: Save games in your account

playing
