PayPal co-founder Max Levchin launches application Discovery class application Ho

Max Levchin as co-founder at Paypal when he was 23 years old, then created Slide and sold it to Google at a high price. After leaving Google in 2011, he created a HVF half-lab incubator. Today, Levchin's HVF launched an iOS app called Homer.

Homer is an application discovery class based on social networking. With this app, you can see what apps are on your phone for people you care about. If you're interested in fitness apps, you can look at the apps on your mobile phone from your fitness buddies. If you're interested in gourmet apps, you can see what apps are on your cargo buddy's phone.

Homer's use and principle is basically this: after downloading the application, you need to set up first, the application will automatically remind you to the phone on all screen pages for screenshots upload. This way, Homer on your friends can see what apps are on your phone. In the same vein, you can also see the application in the phone of the person you are concerned about. HVF uses the image recognition technology to analyze the application icon on the screen screenshot, and then links the application icon to the App Store, so that if you find an interesting application, click the appropriate application icon to go to the App Store and download it directly. Also, if you don't want someone to see a particular app on your phone, you can do the same right.

In addition to the new Homer,levchin, most of the effort is currently on affirm, the mobile payment company, launched last year. Last month, affirm just won a round of 45 million dollars in funding.
