Description

Don’t you wish you had a trusty pal to tell you all about the coolest free apps, the best Apple news, and answer every question about your iDevice, 24 hours a day? A friend who really caters to your personal tastes? AppAdvice IS that friend: Providing the best iOS news, tips, & apps — and we’ll never charge you a dime! Heck, we’re you’re iOS BFF! The new, fully redesigned, reimagined, customized AppAdvice app features a dedicated team of over 20 AppAdvice.com iOS journalists who’ve been covering apps since 2008. That means we’ve got the long-term insight that both beginners and power users need to get the most out of their iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Apple TVs. ***Cool Feature Alert: Every time we talk about an app in an article, instead of static screenshots, we’ll be using inline videos showing the app in action. We call these new videos “AppPlays.” AppPlays don’t interrupt your experience with an obtrusive, content-blocking video, however. Instead, they fit in nicely alongside that content, efficiently auto-playing as you scroll past and making it really clear if the app in question is up your alley or not.*** What Else Will You Find In The AppAdvice App? * News: Everyday expect to find all the stories that will keep you up-to-date on the world of Apple and the App Store * Tips: We have dozens of experts pushing their iDevices to the max so we can help you get more out of yours * Reviews: Over 20,000 detailed reviews of the top apps, new ones added daily. * Guides: Custom tailored advice based on your preferences to accomplish any task you can think of with your iDevice. * Deals: Get the best prices and find out how to get them free! ** Who Is AppAdvice** We’re a team of iOS enthusiasts who are passionate about Apple devices and apps that make them more powerful. The entire company is solely focused on Apple & their products. We’ve been cover everything iOS related and looking for the best ways to use Apple devices since the first day of the App Store in July 2008. You can find our complete archive of work on AppAdvice.com and our very best content is found inside of this app. If you love your iDevice, you'll love the AppAdvice app, as it will help you rediscover it day after day.

We found a huge can of RAID and eliminated all the annoyingly little creepers (aka BUGS!). But that's not all: * PUSH NOTIFICATIONS The #1 most requested feature has been added. You now have the option in the iPhone Settings app to add Push Notifications to the AppAdvice app. Never miss a big story, or important free app on sale for a limited time. You can customize the settings to get as many or as few push notifications as you want.  * REVIEWS -Reviews now load at once, no need to page through 20 at a time. -Sort reviews by date, by name, or by review score!  -Added search for our 2,700+ reviews * App Details View - Added iPhone/iPad screenshots - Added iTunes Review Scores - Added "What's New" so you know what's in the latest update - Added Device type labels. No more wondering if it's iPhone or iPad app! - Added all the articles the app is mentioned in for quick view. - Updated UI - total revamp of view  *AppGuides & AppLists - Added Device type (iPhone/iPad) filters on AppGuides & AppLists  *Performance Fixes - Fixed Related articles touch area, now scrollable - Fixed Mentioned apps touch area, now scrollable - Fixed Appisode play errors - Fixed Retina image display issues - Fixed currency display for Non-US countries -Fixed freezing up in article comments - Fixed random article crashes (Thanks to Michael Blank for finding all these)! Thanks for everyone who continues to support us each day. None of this would be possible without you and we will continue to make the app better and better. Please keep sending in all the great requests, we'll work hard to get them all included!

Since there are no settings for running in the background, and the battery indicator only mentions screen time, I don't know why the installation of this app caused my battery to go from 85% to 31% in 30 minutes. But it is listed in the battery settings as being the top battery hog over the past 7 days – even though I'd only installed it 30 minutes earlier. I hope they're able to fix this soon, as it IS a really great redesign of truly useful information.

(Sometimes I 'save up' and won't read for several days so I can spend some leisure time looking over a weeks worth of news). The variety of what they cover is great. Something for everyone. I love being able to link from the app advice news/reviews to the App Store and will often download during my reading. I appreciate that they keep one or two weeks content on board. As I say I sometimes save up and then spend a happy hour or so perusing. No complaints. This is an update to my previous review. While many reviewers seem to like the new interface I find it very schizophrenic and disorganized. Much less user-friendly. The previous interface was easy to scroll through to review various articles etc. in addition you can simply drop down to find various guides and categories of apps. Now you have to hunt to find anything specific that you're looking for. This is gone from one of my three must haves to 'hardly using anymore'.

I'm usually not interested in Apple info things beyond free apps, but if you own any Apple devices this will interest you. You'll find real and concise info to get the most from or for your all Apple devices with apps, accessories, peripherals, security info, iOS tips, etc. There's a wide range of topics - on point, informative, and not über-geek. I actually end up browsing for extended periods of time. It's customizable by Apple product and topic. Stellar! I'm not interested in games. Usually these apps are dominated by games. Complain to the developers via the app! Not the review - they can't respond here.

You’d think 24 hours would possibly be enough time, but NO evidently it’s not. I said that to say this; part of the app is functional but no all of it. Thus the 24 hrs statement. Are they trying to faze out the whole app, or what…YIKES! I LOVE this app. It is SO informative and so very organized. That, in part, is why it is especially useful for seniors who are not familiar with everywhere to seek information about apps…and it is ALL in one place. I even tried the “APP DEVELOPER” and IT even said the aforementioned “overloaded” status. That is scary in itself. PLEASE, PLEASE fix this awesome in so many ways app I’m pleading with you.

I’ve tried to email support and the email address is also returning an error response, as in no able to deliver. I really hope it’s just an issue with their server or provider, and that they reach out to their loyal following here to give us news of what’s going on. No other service that I know has that much useful information and advice presented in such a way, easy to navigate and thorough. I hope it’s just a glitch.

I love the "apps gone free" but recently when I have attempted to purchase a free app, I am disappointed to discover the app is no longer free within the same day it is advertised. This evening I tried at 11p.m. (EST) to purchase the Daily Art Pro app but when I was connected to the App Store it was listed at 4.99. If there is a time limit within a day, it needs to be stated. There was no place on the AppAdvice site to even inquire about this issue.

I was disappointed as it was an app I checked every day! Your new version, including Apps Gone Free, is far better than the old version! Easy to use, smooth, easy to use interface...each time I use it I find new features! Unless I've missed it, my only suggestion for an upgrade would be a "Search" field. We'll done!

If you don’t like the app you wasted no time. I think some of these negative reviews must be schizophrenics

Only a couple times per month is anything I’m interested in offered. I also have a couple of additional bones to pick at: apps routinely offered are not totally free as most have “in app” purchases. To me, that’s Not Free. And quite a few apps offered, on any particular day, aren’t available/free for the entire day. Their availability “expires” after a few hours! Thought they were free for the entire day. It’s truly hit and miss. Just don’t expect too much!

Also, the open in Safari and share icons don’t seem to work as nothing happens when tapped on. These issues have existed ever since the app redesign, so it has been awhile. I am using the iPad Pro 9.7 and iOS 11.x. Now I have to use the Appadvice website to find and share the article, which is very frustrating.
