The apps that you have installed can be viewed by opening the Android Marketplace, pressing the menu button, and then opening My Apps. Apps will be sorted into three categories; apps with available updates, installed apps, and apps that you’ve purchased but do not currently have installed. Free apps that you uninstall are not listed in the Not Installed category.

Marketplace Alternatives

Since the Android Marketplace doesn’t always provide users with the tools they need to find apps, you may be wondering if there are any alternatives. The answer is yes.

If you’re not constrained to using your phone, navigating the market via a PC is often a good choice. Without the constraints of a smartphone display you’ll be able to see more information about apps and navigate search results more easily. Better still, you can download apps directly to your phone if you sign in with your Google Account. Just click Install in your web browser, then check your phone. It will be downloading your selection.

Another excellent alternative that every Android user should download is AppBrain. This application is essentially a market re-skin. It doesn’t host any of the apps, but it does use publically available app data to provide better filtering and more categories than you’ll find on the stock market. AppBrain will let you check out the hottest apps of the last day or week, find the most popular apps in a particular country, and even sort by demographics.
