Best sites for App Reviews

[omro]

Hi,

My iPad arrives tomorrow and I'm pysched!

I've been reading other threads on this site about poor quality apps and I've googled for reviews and there are ton of app related review sites out there. Which sites are actually worth the effort of subscribing to and checking out?

Thanks!

I use appshopper.com to tell me what new apps are out, etc...and it sorts and runs better than iTunes, but not many reviews there.

TouchArcade gives you some good reviews on Apps, but they're all games.

I use the app, AppAdvice on the iPad for pretty good reviews. They don't review a ton but I have bought quite a few apps based on their reviews.

I haven't really found anything else for regular apps.

I use:

iPhone App Reviews, iPhone Game Reviews, and iPhone News :: 148Apps

iPad game reviews and news | Pocket Gamer

iPad/iPhone App News and Reviews :: App Advice

http://www.slidetoplay.com/

iPhone games Reviews and Ranking (All games reviews aggregated)

And most of all http://www.appshopper.com (Not really reviews, just the info from iTunes presented in a better way)

Be careful though, most sites mix iPad and iPhone reviews together - make sure you're getting the right one for the iPad!

For games toucharcade.com for sure. The reviews are good, and the forums have a thread on just about every game there is... and usually with a lot of user input.....

In Google Reader I have a folder titled iPad Only with the following:

This site: ipadforums.com (duh)

All About the iPad

iPad Corral

iPad Living (Actually called iPad Alone on the site)

iPad Insider

Just Another iPad Blog

New iPad Apps (Actually called appshopper.com...this link here is set-up for new apps only)

Admittedly, everyday there are a lot of unread items!

I find myself using Youtube for apps reviews. In most cases you get a pretty good video review.

Yup, youtube is a good source, but try searching ipad dedicated sites like those mentioned by numblock

And note the against forum rules signature for Tom..... yes, the infamous myipadmedia virus strikes again!!!! These are like roaches....

For the 100000000000000th time, folks DO NOT fall for this.....

It cost $50 to join, and old Tom here will get $34 of it. It is part of a click media rip off scam.......

I use FingerGaming, TouchArcade, and PocketGamer for reviews and news, and Appshopper to check for new stuff. The Appadvice iPad app is worth a look too.
