Over the last year, mobile applications for the iPhone have become more popular than ever. In January, Apple announced that users had downloaded one billion apps in just three months time. That means they were downloading over ten million apps each day.
How did the iPhone gain such a following? As you may know, the iPhone was not the first Smartphone. In fact, the Blackberry was introduced eight years earlier in 1999. But the iPhone was the first device to offer an impressive catalogue of applications.
In the first year alone, Apple added over 25,000 apps to their website. Many of these apps were offered for free. At present the Apple App Store has a catalogue of over 100,000 applications. About five thousand of these can be downloaded for free.
With such an extensive catalogue, it can be difficult to find a few good apps. Fortunately, there are apps review sites. These free sites are really nothing more than forums where users can post text and video reviews of the latest applications. They are a reliable resource for anyone who wants to find the best new apps.
When searching for a quality site, the first thing to look for is a free membership. Since there are literally dozens of quality review sites, you should never pay for a membership. It is also important to make certain that the site separates its reviews into distinct categories, like navigational apps, office apps and educational apps. This will make it a cinch to find exactly what you are looking for.
