Five-Star Apps 1st (first) edition Text Only

by Glenn Fleishman

A Useful Directory to the Best iPhone and iPad Apps offers reviews and recommendations for over 200 apps for the iPhone and iPad. Apple's handheld devices have many strengths, but the App Store is unfortunately not one of them. Sorting through and making sense of the more than 225,000 apps is bewildering, and this book takes on the task of finding the best. App categories will range from games to productivity, photography to utilities, health to finance. Each app will get its own page, with a image or two highlighting the app's cool features and a write-up explaining why the app is an essential addition.

About the author

I started writing as a child and never stopped. I’ve always been interested in what makes things tick and how to explain that. That led to a career as a technology journalist and how-to article and book author. I’ve written dozens of books over my career in some combination of the two.

In the 2010s, I started publish a series of book that combined printing and type history and technology in a variety of ways. These titles include Not To Put Too Fine a Point on It, a collection of essays and reporting; London Kerning, a look at two magnificent London printing collections and the city’s typographical history; Six Centuries of Type & Printing; and How Comics Were Made, a heavily visual history of the production and reproduction of newspaper comics from the 1890s to the present.

I live in Seattle, Washington, with my family, and drink very little coffee.
