StumbleUpon! iPhone App Review

Description:

If you are an internet lover, you probably look often for new sites and content that interests you.  If you like to do this often, a great app to use is called StumbleUpon! and it is for the iphone, ipod touch, or the ipad.  The app is a great way to learn about new places as every time you open the app, the parameters will recommend a new site, video, picture, or news article that should fit the things that you like.  Every time you click Stumble, the app will also refresh the app page and show you new things that you can look at to help you pass the time.  This helps you to see more of what you are interested in and see less of the things you don’t care about.

The way the app works is that it bases things off of user ratings.  This means that when you stumble, you will only see pages that friends and like minded users have recommended for you to see.  Rating sites that you like helps the app learn more about your preferences and shows more relevent sites and content that you will end up liking.  This helps you discover great content on the web that you will never expect to find otherwise.

Features:

• The app is very simple and clean with an elegant look to it so you can browse and find information that is truly relevant to what you want to see.
• If the screen is not fresh, simply click the stumble button to bring up new content that can fill the page and make it easy to see what is going on.
• The app will give you a preview version of the page it has recommended, or you can change the settings within the app to always show the full version of the page so that you can start reading the content you want immediately.
• The app shows youtube videos, photos, flickr, news and other things that you are interested in when you open up and access the app.

This is a great companion app that helps you to find things that you are liking and want to learn more about.  If you have interests that you check out on a daily basis, you need this app!

Conclusion:

This app costs Nothing as it is FREE and has been given a 4 out of 5 star rating by other iphone users.
