History

AppFind was originally formed in 2009 by Aleric Heck.

The business originally started out as an app review focused YouTube channel featuring live action mobile app reviews.

The channel first gained traction with the publishing of the Best Magic Trick Apps of 2010 video.

The video featured a series of magic trick applications designed for the Apple iPhone and was discovered by multiple blogs which helped propel the channel's overall success.

The AppFind channel started creating their "Best Apps" series in the fall of 2011 when the iPhone 4S Top Essential Apps video launched.

This video featured a multitude of useful iOS applications and was a quick hit with iPhone users helping to spark AppFind's reputation within the iOS community.

AppFind also started an Apple news series dubbed the "Apple News Show " in the fall of 2011.

In these videos, AppFind creator Aleric Heck recorded himself discussing the latest Apple news and rumors.

The Apple News Show was also accompanied by the blog AppleWizdom in which Aleric Heck lead 11 other online tech reviewers who all posted Apple articles and news on the blog.

After the disbanding of the AppleWizdom blog, the Apple News Show series was dropped in the fall of 2012 in order for the business to be able to focus on app review videos and best app list programming.

In early 2013, AppFind launched their first App Showcase video titled Best Zombie Apps.

The App Showcase series produced 3 additional App Showcase episodes before rebranding the series to "Best iPhone Games Lists ".

After the launch of the iPhone 5S in September 2013, AppFind launched their first "Complete Beginners Guide" video titled iPhone 5S - Complete Beginners Guide.

The video consisted of a complete guide to use the iPhone 5S designed for beginners to be able to easily understand how to properly use their smartphones.

The video became a quick success earning AppFind recognition in the field of technology tutorials.

Also launched in September 2013 was the iOS 7 Hidden Features - Top 10 List which additionally helped to increase AppFind's overall following on YouTube.

In October 2013 AppFind launched the series "App Spotlight " which sought to "shine the spotlight on the best iOS apps and games".

The series presented 2 new iOS games, one old game, a hidden gem (indie) game and a mystery game every episode.

This series is AppFind's most long-standing series with more than 75 episodes released as of August 2016.

In the Fall of 2014 AppFind launched a video titled Best Apps to Earn Rewards on your iPhone in which 5 reward apps are shown, all capable of earning users revenue just by downloading and using the applications.

This video was particularly successful and was deemed very helpful by many iOS users.

This prompted a sequel video titled Best Apps to Earn Rewards on your iPhone in 2016 as well as an Android version.
