We launched this site shortly after the iTunes App Store launched. The purpose of 148Apps.com is to provide you with the very best in iPhone and iPod Touch applications through our numerous reviews and latest news sections. Our goal is to sort through the best of the best and provide you with that information so you don’t have to spend your days in front of an iPhone just to find the perfect app for you.

In addition to the reviews and news, we keep track of what’s selling, what’s new and what prices are dropping in the iTunes App Store. We are also on Twitter, Facebook, and Friendfeed.

Info on Submitting Applications for Review

We love getting information about new apps, or apps we may have missed. You can submit your application for review by sending us the full details to the email address below.

If available, we’d love a promo code for the app as that makes the whole process a little easier for our reviewers. This is by no means a necessity though. We prefer not to work with adhoc preview/review copies in most situations as they can be difficult to get working.

We are always interested in pre-release and beta versions of applications, so please feel free to contact us about that was well.

However you send us your app, free or paid, send it with a complete description of your application, screen shots, links to videos, etc. to: review.monkey@148apps.com

For information on what we like to see when you send in the message about your app, take a look at this great article from Mobile Orchard for some tips.

Note that while we wish we had the time to review every single application sent to us, we do not. We will only review the applications that we think are of the greatest interest to our readers.

Why 148 Apps?

148 was the maximum number of applications that you could install at once on the iPhone before 3.0. (9 pages x 16 = 144 + 4 in the static bar at the bottom = 148) As of the launch of 3.0, there can be 180 apps on your phone (11 pages x 16 = 174 +4 in the static bar at the bottom = 180). What happens if you try to install more? Nothing, iTunes lets you do it, but they just don’t show up on the menu.

We thought about changing the name to 180apps.com for about a day, and then ultimately decided that 148apps just rolls off the tongue better. For your convenience though, if you go to 180apps.com you will be redirected our homepage.
