“Discovr Apps makes it easy to discover new apps for your iPhone & iPad.

Thumbs Up

• cost is only $3.99
• both iPad and iPhone versions
• no registration or sign in required
• well organized – easy and logical to use without any instruction
• great help page
• saves time searching for similar apps – much faster than using the “Search Store” function in the Apple Apps Store
• in the above two screen saves we used this app to find lots of related apps on two of our favorite safety apps – “NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards” and “Tornado by American Red Cross“
• just plain “FUN” to use!

Thumbs Down

• Over 50% of the time this app will find unrelated/offbeat/irrelevant apps that are absolutely worthless;  but when it does work as it should, you’ll be amazed at what it finds and will feel like you hit-the-jackpot!

Overall Rating

• iPad – ♥♥♥
