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

Alice in Bomberland App
I don't think I bought this app. At least, I think I would know it if I had. Has anyone else had this happen to them here on blippy?
· $1.99 app from iTunes
2 Across App
I love doing crosswords on this app, mostly because it doesn't require a separate subscription (as SOME do) if you already get the NYT. I only wish they would make it universal. Doing puzzles on the iPad would be so much more enjoyable!
Word Lens App
Cute gimmick. Could come in handy if I were traveling in Central America.
iSpy Cameras App
Pretty slick, especially on iPad. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, this is not voyeuristic; these are webcams in public places, and they're not secret. But it is still a sign of our times to look at people all over the world doing ordinary things.

Printful App
A nice and needed app, but it stalls out and crashes a bit too much for my liking. Still I continue to go back to it.
Wakoopa App
This app doesn't seem to do anything, I'm not sure what to make of it.
· app from iTunes
Truthseeker App
A little bit too Drudgey for my tastes, but I do admit to sneaking a peek to see what the other side is whispering.
· app from iTunes
impulsebuyer What does this do?
beverlynoelle I don't really think the other side "whispers." More like..."Yells incoherently" :D
jrobelen This is a news app for those who don't trust the MSM.
Caffeine App
If a skull and crossbones icon is showing (it is now on blippy), it has nothing to do with this app. The real icon is a round cup of coffee. The app is simple, and does what it does (disables screen saver) faithfully.
Angry Birds App
Guilty as charged. Probably the easiest game for the mass public to learn and master since Tetris. Highly addictive, disarmingly winning.
· $4.99 app from iTunes
Barnes & Noble NOOK kids App
The first and (so far) only kids book reader. It made me buy some kids books, so it must be doing something right. Sometimes the two-page spreads were a little awkward, but for the most part does a nice job of app-ifying children's books.
iReddit App
A very nice app-visioning of the site by the Reddit folks. Secret: sometimes the app gets through when the site is too busy on Safari.
The Monster at the End of This Book (for iPad) App
I've read this book to my daughters many times and bought this as a lark for my newborn son. Not to pat myself on the back, but the reading is almost exactly the way I did it for the girls. And the whole thing is paced and animated just the way we envisioned it. Nice job!
· $0.99 app from iTunes
Solitaire Greatest Hits App
The interface is a bit clumsy, but it's a fairly complete and very solid app.
· app from iTunes
ArtRage App
Fun with textures and combinations.
· $1.99 app from iTunes
Google Places App
This doesn't really...DO anything.
Beyond the Movie: Return of the King
Great docu on the cultural and historical background of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
· movie from Netflix
picplz App
I finally get social photo apps. You check in and take a picture, then give it some attitude. This all makes sense with picplz.
Wiki² App
Cheap & handy interface to Wikipedia. Good for settling bar fights.
· $0.99 app from iTunes
impulsebuyer You mean bar debates? In my experience the only thing that stops a bar fight is a bouncer or bartender with a shotty.
jrobelen Yeah, I guess "debates" would be a better word. Shows you how long it's been since I've been in a bar.
TUAW App
Great news app from a great Apple news source. Make it part of your morning news routine.
Mobile Playmaker App
Good at bars that support it (like Buffalo Wild Wings), but you might never get back to your jalapeño poppers.
