I still can't get this app on my phone, it's too big.

Best reader for iPhone by far. I've read many books on my iPhone so have tried most readers and this is the best there is. Early bugs squashed and new features make this a must have. The built-in DropBox support is great.

I did just get ReaddleDocs and will try that out.

I'm not the biggest facebook fan, but this application is solid and provides a lot of functionality. However, it seems to not deal with lists (which I can find) so I sometimes have to pop into the mobile version of FB. Supposedly only 5% of FB users use these lists so it shouldn't be a big deal.

A lot of thought was put into the app and it shows.

Looks really cool, and is free. I had problems connecting with my various accounts. Once the connections were established, the file upload failed and when I went to upload another file, all connections were reset.

I haven't tried this yet, but wanted to let people know that this App will probably be pulled from the App Store. The App Store terms of service violate the GPL and the original developer has filed a complain with Apple. The last time this occurred, Gnu Go, Apple just pulled the App rather than go through the hassle of complying with the GPL.

Evernote has become my second brain. I used to use SimpleNote, but that didn't have the OS X desktop integration that Evernote does. I also like the visual cues during the cloud note syncing process. This lets me know that the note was synched correctly and when i get back to my other devices, I see an indicator there are new notes. Perfect.

Tumblr is a great app. There are some minor annoyances, such as entry fields being inconsistent between the web version and the app. For example, there is no rich text editing for several post types. This probably has more to do with iOS limitations.

Regardless, it is a solid app and I use it quite often to Tumbl. Now that it is iOS4 ready, it's a hell of a lot easier to pull content in (switching apps to copy/paste is easy).

Everyone raved so much about this game, I finally picked it up. I got it at Episode 15 or something. The first 10 minutes of playing I spent trying to figure out how to go back episodes and failed. I still don't know if this is possible and didn't bother to find out. There was so much stuff in the current episode that built on previous episodes, I felt lost. I just didn't get it and put it down after several more tries.

I don't get what's great about a lot of games or sometimes it takes me a while. Angry Birds I finally "got" yesterday and played for an hour straight. Took me a while to get Doodle Jump. On the other hand, I Dig It had appeal right away and it's still one of my favorites.

This is well made game. Starts easy and get's much harder/complicated, teaching you the controls along the way. I'm not a big fan of the Tower Defense genre as it stresses me out too much, but this is one I could enjoy for a while.

This is the main app I use for looking up show times. Easy, to the point.

Great chess game, pricey though.

This game is really good, but really hard. Was addicted for about a week and never made it near a leaderboard.

This is fine app, can't say that I've used it extensively since I've given up on traditional chat networks.

I was asked to review Yelp and I get a page about Ultrablast. Haven't tried it yet. Grr.

The Foursquare App rocks until you use it. Recent versions of the app are a lot better at keeping a network connection, but I still see that frikkin sad girl telling me I need to try again later. Also, the friend request page likes to crash a lot or throw that crying girl at me. Then you relaunch and you're in some alternate universe with Foursquare asking you to send them a bug report via email, but the buttons are grayed out.

When iOS Spotlight stops using Google, I might fire this one up.

Everybody raves about it. So you should use it. I've never even launched the thing.

I think I've launched this app twice. And one of those times was yesterday... I was trying to show someone where my parents live. Even on an iPhone 4 running iOS4.1GM and using Wifi, it was slow. And tilting the phone causes the earth to move causing mass confusion and motion sickness. Quit.

We both got ice cream sandwiches shaped like Mickey Mouse. I try to make it my goal to eat ice cream all day longer whenever at a Disney park. I failed.

Hmmm. $18.52 from Apple. I have no idea what this is for, but I'm sure it's magical.
