Maybe have some people (with iPhones) you trust write reviews too?

hey you are doing a good job i think that 5 apps is ok to start but you should increase that number according to how your visits per hour grow each day. i can not live without the internet and ussually i have a bunch of sites a visit every 1 or 2 hour and pretty much im awake 14 to 18 hours as most people are that show that i visit most sites including this one for about 5 or 7 times a day it all depends on my idea of how the content changes on that site(people do notice that) know the idea of not letting the new content go to far down is a very good web design concept beacuse people hate scrolling but still new content is what keep your site alive so you should give it a good thought. i do think you should keep working from the top to the bottom lets say you are going to do 10 reviews daily do 5 or 6 or recently released apps and the rest from any other older app you haven’t done. so i dont think you should go crazy doing a marathon of 100 apps i think it definetly should be less than 50 and it should be well announce so people is ready for it and they won’t miss any review of the marathon that way you don’t find yourself with less apps to review after a marathon. other advice look into what’s the avarage of new apps per week and try not to review apps that do the same or smilar task to close beacause there might be 4,000 apps but a lot of them do the same thing i have found 4 im messengers and like 5 to-do/list apps
sorry if it was long just trying to help adn give an opinion

@Lee, I agree. Once I go full time I should be able to do like 8-10 per day

I think it’s a great idea to get more content published. Personally though, I would prefer you bump up the daily count a couple rather than having a day or two during the month with a ton of reviews. Either way, the more the better :-)
Keep up the great work!

i think thats a great idea, also the thing about this site, if you want to see what an app is like you can just use the search feature, you dont have to search through every page. Love the idea cant wait!

@Dan – Correct, they would still be done like they are now. The only changes will be there will be between 15-20 in 1 day instead of 5. I’m thinking about doing this for 2-3 days in a row.

I think it’s a great idea, provided that each review still has an entry unto itself, as opposed to having a single entry that contains n reviews all together. Great job on the reviews so far, BTW.
