http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/nokia-app-social-beta_620x340.jpgNokia may see a surge of Windows Phone apps (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/26/nokia-key-windows-phone-8-apps-coming/) on the horizon, but it's not waiting for that deluge before it offers further app advice to new Lumia (http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/24/nokia-lumia-1020-review/) owners. Its new App Social Beta improves on App Highlights (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/the-engadget-interview-nokia-vp-of-developer-relations-richard/) by crowdsourcing suggestions. Users create and follow app lists whose popularity determines which titles rise to the top; there's also a news feed for those who only want to see recommendations from friends and favorite curators. There's no guarantee that Nokia will help you find that perfect Instagram substitute (http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/06/nokia-2instawithlove-windows-phone-8-app-mocks-instagram/), but App Social Beta's immediate availability in 14 countries may keep the search time to a minimum.
