There are a few questions you need answered before pushing that shiny buy button in the upper corner:
* Who is your AppAdvice and what does he do? (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice included!)
AppAdvice tells you everything there is to know about apps and your iPhone or iPad. What’s the latest app news? Which apps came out and need to be downloaded right now?

*Who is AppAdvice for?
If you just got an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, AppAdvice gives you detailed guides and ADVICE on what apps to download right away to make it cool. Or if you’ve got tons of apps and want to learn what new apps are better than your old ones, or want to discover brand new apps to get you excited about your device again, AppAdvice is the perfect app for you.
