Chapter 20. Ten Influential Review Sites
Getting your iPhone application reviewed on the major Web sites that review apps is an important way to stand out over the tens of thousands of iPhone applications so that prospective customers notice you and, you hope, buy or download your app. (We mention this topic in the Marketing section of this book.) Therefore, this chapter points out ten of the biggest or more prominent iPhone app review sites to aim for in your marketing efforts. We list them in alphabetical order so that we don't imply a favorite. Use one or use them all, but get out there and see what people are saying about iPhone applications..
148Apps
www.148apps.com
When Apple launched its App Store, site founder Jeff Scott decided to launch a Web site focused on reviewing iPhone applications and providing news and information about their availability. The name of his site, 148Apps, comes from the maximum number of applications that can be installed on an iPhone. Each of the 9 storage pages can hold 16 apps (9 × 16 = 144) plus the 4 you can store on the static bar at the bottom, for a total of 148 (144 + 4 = 148). That's almost 50 percent more than you see on the standard Top 100 lists. Jeff's site not only reviews iPhone apps (with a separate section dedicated to games) and reports news, but also maintains lists of the most popular-selling apps, the newest apps to hit the App Store, and price changes.
The reviewer's e-mail address is review.monkey@148apps.com.
