Mediocre drop, but nice to see the HP stuff.
Not the most insightful post, I just wanted to block the 'first' trolls.
As usual, a lot of the new apps are just more AppBookShop.com offerings. When are they gonna make one e-reader and release e-books instead?
The Breast Cancer Risk Calculator (I am the developer) is a must use for all women (> 35 without prior cancer) to calculate risk for development of Breast Cancer. Thanks for looking at it.
I am as concerned about breast cancer as the next gal. Why would I load this on my phone? I see the value in a breast cancer risk calculator.
Just not one that I would keep on my phone vs. pulling up for free on a website once every couple years.
Ok I finally installed the app dimmer patch - AppBookShop you're on the list!
