Apps are flooding the market. That's a good thing. Right? Of course it is. Though it can get overwhelming. This is what I do to make identifying apps more manageable.
- Decide what I am looking for in an app (tend to look for one app at a time to stay focused).
- Search itunes and google.
- Check free apps first.
- Narrow in on apps with a 4+ rating.
- Read reviews.
- Download those I want to try out.
- Check paid apps.
- Repeat steps 4-6.
- Keep checking out new apps till you can't anymore!
These sites are useful to stay on top of what is on the market. Many offer giveaways and freebies! Gotta love that.

Apps For Special Needs--UK Found this site today. It's a group of parents looking for apps for special needs children.
Another site I like is Apps Coop For Special Needs Population. It's a collaboration of developers, parents, teachers and others to share ideas for apps targeted to the special needs population. I have found this a good place to ask others if they know of apps that I am looking for to match my criteria.
Anyone have other tips on how to pick out apps for themselves and others? Would love to know about facebook pages and websites in other parts of the globe that focus on selecting apps for the special needs population. Please leave your ideas in the comment box.
