App Grid Is A Superior Ubuntu Software Center Alternative
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/app-grid.png)
**There’s no denying that the Ubuntu Software Centre has made finding, installing, buying and managing applications easier.**
Equally, there’s no denying that it’s far from being the prettiest bit of software that ships with the distro by default.
### App Grid Ubuntu Software Centre Alternative ###
The interface of Ubuntu’s flagship app store has changed little since its last big makeover back in 2011. Not that it has been completely ignored in the intervening time. The 12.04 development cycle saw some [work done on its boot time][1].
That aside, the ol’ USC is pretty much the same as it ever was: a basket of potential never checked out.
App Grid aims to solve these shortcomings. Written from scratch, it claims to deliver better start up times, faster response times and a design that offers “no confusion, no frustration.”
On most of these point App Grid succeeds. It opens almost instantly and clicking through the interface is, indeed, responsive. The ‘no confusion’ promise is, perhaps, a little open to debate. The app sometimes requires you to scroll horizontally, other times vertically. One also can’t help but think that the app would look markedly more professional if it dropped the ‘gridded’ background pattern, too.
As a way to sift through the legions of apps available on Ubuntu, App Grid is a superior effort. Support for Ubuntu One purchases, ratings and reviews make it all the more useful as a replacement to Ubuntu’s default store.
If there is any drawback it’s that the application is not open source, as a big disclaimer warns on first run:

### Install App Grid ###
App Grid is available for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 13.10 and 14.04 LTS. It can be installed by adding the following PPA to your software sources:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:appgrid/stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install app grid
Or by grabbing a .deb installer [from the project website][2].
- [Download App Grid Installer for Ubuntu 14.04][3]
Give it a try and let us know what you think in the space we dutifully carved out for your opinion…

APP Grid:一个优秀的Ubuntu软件中心替代品
================================================================================
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/app-grid.png)
**Ubuntu软件中心使得查找、安装、购买并管理应用程序更简单，这一点无可否认。**
同样，也无可否认，它离最美的发行版默认自带软件的位置还远着呢。
### App Grid：Ubuntu软件中心替代品 ###
自从2011年的彻底改造后，Ubuntu的旗舰应用商店的界面就没怎么变过。这并不是说它在此期间被完全忽略了，12.04的开发周期中可以看到[在启动时间上的工作][1]已经做了一些。
撇开那个不算，ol’ USC还是一如既往：一篮子的潜力还没被开发。
App Grid的目标时解决这些问题。从零开始，它要求更快的启动时间，更快的反应时间，而且“不感觉混乱，不让人失望”。
在大部分这些方面，App Grid取得了成功。它几乎可以立即打开，而在界面上点击也确实反应迅速。“不感觉混乱”这一承诺，或许有一点小小的争议。该应用有时候要你横向滚动，而另外的时候，又要你纵向滚动。也有人禁不住会想，如果这个应用能把它的网格背景样式扔了，可能看起来会显得更专业一些。
作为在Ubuntu上从筛选应用程序的一个方式，App Grid做出了极大的努力。它支持Ubuntu One上的订购、评级和评论，作为Ubuntu默认应用商店的替代品，它更好用。
如果非要说点什么缺点的话，那就是它不是一个开源的应用程序，第一次运行时会显示以下免责声明：

### 安装App Grid ###
App Grid可运行在Ubuntu 12.04 LTS，13.10以及14.04 LTS版本下。可以通过添加以下PPA软件源来安装：
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:appgrid/stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install app grid
或者，也可以[从项目网站][2]抓取一个.deb安装包来安装。

试试吧，试过后请到我们开的空间里来发表一下你的看法吧……
