Bookmark Apps in App Store?

Dear Apple,
Please add the availability to bookmark apps in the app store. When surfing through the app store you can send yourself the link but you can’t bookmark it. The ability to create a wishlist of apps you’d like to purchase would be helpful. I would imagine it would also increase sales.
Thank you,
Marc

Find A Grave

Where is your loved one buried? Where is your favorite celebrity’s monument? Recently I was searching for funeral information and I stumbled upon a website that keeps track of where graves are located. Yes, I realize Find A Grave is quite morbid, however the site serves as a useful tool and way to pay tribute. For example, here is Steve Jobs burial location.

eMags with Zinio

How close are you to moving away from paper? The last time you went on a flight did you drag dozens of magazines along to kill time? Have you thought about switching to electronic magazines?

I have been using a great app on my iPad that delivers magazines electronically straight to the device called Zinio. They are now the largest newsstand and bookstore. You can purchase content once to be read on any screen. Get eMags like People, Newsweek, Wired and even Cleveland Magazine. Store dozens of electronic editions of you favorite magazine on your laptop, smartphone or tablet.

iPad Cases for Kids

Did you recently buy an iPad for your kid? If so, you need a good case to protect it! Griffin recently launched a series of iPad cases just for kids. One special case is called the “Lightboard” and it allows your kid to draw and color directly on your iPad. You just slide in a piece of paper to start your kids drawing.

The site says, “It is a protective case and art table in one. Your iPad is surrounded in a shatter-resistant polycarbonate shell with openings for the speakers and headphone jack. A built-in polycarbonate screen shield protects your Multi-Touch display against scratches and impacts from even the most ardent artists.”

You can also download their LightBoard Trace app currently for free at the App Store. With the app you have more than 35 different things to draw and has a game that teaches kids how to write their name. When you use the LightBoard case, you can feel safe about letting your child play with your iPad. Thanks to Mike Kimmel for the tip on this one!

App Tells What Your Watching

So you are flicking through the channels and you land on a show that you just can't place? With music you can use Shazam to tell you what song is playing, now there is IntoNow that will do the same thing for TV. I have been waiting for an app like this since the iPhone was released because I am a heavy channel surfer.

The website says, “IntoNow makes engaging with your friends around your favorite television shows easy and fun. Just tap the green button when you’re watching, and IntoNow will identify the show, right down to the episode. Once identified it’s easy to share with your friends on Twitter or Facebook.”

Bully Block App

Last week I saw Bully Block circulating the evening news and I immediately went to the iTunes app store to grab it. However to my dismay, the cyberbullying app is currently only available on the Android. What does it do? The app enables the owner to block certain phone numbers from texting them. The concept for this app is simple but effective. I have not found one that functions the same on the iPhone, but what I have read plenty of reviews confirming that Bully Block is effective.

Instragram, Nice Photo App

I found this cool app that gives you control of your photos from your mobile phone. With Instragram you simply select a photo from your smartphone, apply a cool filter and you instantly have a beautiful piece of artwork.  The app has an array of unique filters to choose from which means hours of endless fun.
