Blippy is a website where people obsessively review everything they buy.

DVPRemote App
What a jewel! This is like the remote that comes with the Roku box, except way better. No need for a line of sight to the box, easier to type names in the search box, lets you scroll through your Netflix Instant Queue, and even allows you to quickly change to a different Channel (ie Pandora) without having to scroll left or right through the long list with the regular remote. Highly recommended!!!

RN Dining App
Do you use various Rewards Network dining programs (iDine, various airline dining programs, etc)? This app will help you find participating establishments while you're on the go (or, hey, just sitting on the couch).
Wisteria
<3 Wisteria! :) Love their amazing veggie plate!
Chase Mobile (SM) App
Depositing checks via iPhone is hands-down the best feature of Chase. It would be nice if the app contained all the information (ie max $1000/check and max $3000/mo) and would show where you are towards that limit (I can't find that on their website either). Other than that, I'd rate the functionality as OK. I really don't enjoy entering my entire password (with USAA the user only needs a PIN) to do something simple like check my balance. I'm glad the app now supports Fast User Switching, but it times out too quickly for me, meaning I have to enter the password all over again. Hopefully future versions will be more modern and Chase will remove the seemingly arbitrary scanned check deposit limits.
tomk Who gives you checks?
carlblack HA! Who knew Blippy still existed?! Thought it died years ago. Do you mean who pays by check? Lots of folks, amazingly. I just deposited my first check with the ING Direct app yesterday, and it went quite well. (I dropped Chase over a year ago when they decided my grandfathered WaMu account would no longer be free.)
Twittelator Pro App
Oh, I loved you back in the day (and we're talking 2008-2009), but lately it seems to need a lot of work. For one thing, I don't want it to refresh every time I send a tweet. But it does, and I get lost trying to find my place reading again. There's an option to turn this off, but it doesn't seem to work properly anymore. No response from the company on any of my recent requests, either.

Instagram App
Actually haven't used it since I read reviews immediately after downloading and realized the results are very low-quality (plus I've seen them first hand when others have posted). Just don't see the need for this at all. Guess it's like the free low-quality version of Hipstamatic, the PBR of iPhone photo apps?

chrismolnar that just makes it even more Hipsta!
SemtexGirl Hey, don't knock PBR. It gets the job done.
Prank Stars! Soundboard App
Avoid this Georgia company, which makes a defective product and won't provide any support or acknowledgement that their app doesn't deliver what it says it will. Oh, and if you write a negative App Store review, they'll make sure to mark it as unhelpful. Really top-notch. Um, no.
Bubble Explode Ad-Free App
Was looking for an alternative to a friend's old favorite game (Bubblet) on the Palm OS platform. Think this one works.
Build a Snowman App
You've gotta have it, right? Right.
Whrrl App
Has many cool features but others that are irksome (can't use it instantly because it's busy calculating points or levels or something and vibrating with excitement). Kinda slow, and the whole Societies concept just seems to be too far-reaching for most people.
The Democratic Party App
Too many push notifications for an app I don't think I've ever used
Google storage
When you have an email or image hoarding need, here's your annual solution!
AmazonBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cable (9.8 Feet / 3.0...
High-quality construction, simply packaged, full one-year warranty...what's not to love?!
buzzd App
Never used this either. Must've read about it somewhere.
iChatr App
Never used, much like the service which it's designed to mimic.
Tap Fish: Exotic App
Downloaded for CauseWorld karma...and immediately deleted.

Redfin Real Estate App
The only app like this that really does seem to show the closest property. Very helpful when walking/driving by one for sale.

Audible App
Haven't used at all but glad it exists, I guess.
Smithsonian Channel App
Really sounds cool, but I've only used it briefly. Saving for a creative rainy day, maybe.
Flickr App
Better but still requires user to go to website for too many features (ie sending to a group, geotagging, etc). Much like everything Yahoo!, it's always outdated in some way.
