AppSnap semplifica l'installazione del sofware: da un database interno riconosce l'ultima versione, la scarica e la installa:

• Detect latest and installed version of supported applications
• Download, install, upgrade and uninstall supported applications
• Uninstall applications registered with Add/Remove Programs facility
• Fully functional GUI and CLI supporting localization
• Manage installed and upgradeable applications
• Manage AppSnap updates from within itself
• Update growing application database from central repository
• Create single application repository to be used by AppSnap on an intranet
• Support proxy configurations
• Parallel downloads with progress information
• Filter applications by category and keywords

E' anche possibile far includere nel database le applicazioni non ancora presenti, inserendole tramite il modulo presente sul sito.
Sempre a partire dalla homepage, link "Applications", in alto a sinistra, è possibile vedere l'elenco delle applicazioni attualmente gestite da AppSnap.
Disponibili le novità del programma.

AppSnap is primarily designed for Windows which does not have any decent package manager such as APT and RPM as in the Linux world.
