Tuesday, December 18, 2012 (New York) – WIRED released today the 2nd annual WIRED App Guide, a dedicated special issue that brings readers an expert look at more than 413 essential applications across more than 65 app categories, including staff favorites. On sale now at newsstands and for iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, and Barnes & Noble Nook devices, this expanded edition rates apps on the 10-point WIRED performance scale, noting ‘WIRED’ and ‘TIRED’ features, price and platform availability.
“The choices people make about which apps to use will have a greater impact on their lives than the handset itself,” said WIRED Senior Writer Mat Honan. “Apps are the only category in all of technology that we dedicated an entire stand-alone issue to every year.”
Highlights include:
413 apps reviewed in 67 categories: Across Photography, Gaming, News, Travel, Fashion, Food & Drink, Music, Entertainment, Hobbies, Socializing, Planning, Health & Fitness, Shopping, and more.
Our Favorites: 10 apps WIRED staffers CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT, including Uber, Tweetbot, Pocket, and iEMOJI, among additional unique picks.
