Reviews :
- "Although I love the iTunes App Store it's heavily weighted towards what's new and popular right now.
It's easy for good apps to get lost in the constant stream of new apps, note I said 'new', not 'better'.
What Glenn has done is gone through each category and picked out the best of the best. If you're have are new to the iPhone or iPad this is an indispensable book. It will save you money and more importantly, time. It's also a great way to find out about everything your device can do."
- "The App Store has (by my rough estimation) eleven billion apps for the iPhone and iPad. Glenn's approach of highlighting only those that truly exemplify excellence is brilliant. I found numerous gems that I hadn't yet seen. And it's a testament to the author that, because of how well-crafted I found his write-ups, I enjoyed reading his analyses of apps that I already own and love, just to get his take (and tips!)."
- "What a great collection of reviews! Some of the apps I already know and love but others were news to me. There seems to be so much out there and sifting through all the information takes way too much time. Thanks for the Cliff Notes version! (Am I dating myself?!) Great job!"
- "Navigating the App Store for an App You Want is like searching a giant parking garage for your car when you have no idea where you left it. (Like that Seinfeld episode -- you know, the one where Kramer's carrying around a giant box the whole time and they spend the entire episode wandering aimlessly and George and Jerry wind up getting arrested for public urination and then Kramer winds up abandoning the box because it's heavy and he's tired and, yeah...complete disaster.)
That's why Five-Star Apps is great. It brings order out of chaos. "There's an app for that" is misleading. It should be "There are a dozen apps for that and just about everything else". Finding those unique few worth your time and money requires a paralegal research team and a month of full-time scouring...or, thankfully, Glenn Fleishman, who sorts through the barrage and picks the best apps to do just about anything.
Anyone hoping to find great apps to enhance their iPhone/iPod touch/iPad experience without having to spend their remaining days on Earth scrolling through the endless lists on the App Store will definitely find value in this book."
