“From Angry Birds to Zite, mobile apps are redefining how we experience the world, whether we’re at work or play. But with hundreds of thousands of apps available, choosing the right software is becoming increasingly complicated. That’s where we come in. Our experts braved the app stores to search, download, test, crash, complain, and update—all so you don’t have to. Organized into seven categories—social, games, lifestyle, news, arts & entertainment, photography, and productivity—these are the apps worth knowing about.”
The app includes the WIRED essentials bundle, which includes 18 “must-have” apps for any new iOS device user. There’s also Editor’s Picks, and specialized apps for physicists, entrepreneurs, celebrities, etc. There’s also some editorial content that’s definitely worth checking out.
