Using 14 different categories of subject matter are the criteria, that the author looked for in his search for his 100 gems considered his best of the Kindle Fire HD Apps. He did suggest a site for finding more great apps and that site has daily recommended apps. He found that site to be helpful in picking our new apps for one's Kindle Fire HD. He claims he wanted you to get your moneys worth on selecting the apps. If you believe his premise, then his plan should be explained too. He included the use of, five star rating, number of reviews, position in the bestseller list, and pricing information for all the apps in his book. He set these up in a format with slashes separately in that order. Star rating / # of reviews/ rank in the Appstore/ price. So if you agree with this he suggests you use this information to have at hand to see by just glancing, what everyone thinks about a particular app. The information can change frequently, so check before you download them to make sure the data is correct. I think one neeeds to go one step further, and see what other apps nearby are comparable to this data. Then you can personally select the apps that suit you to a cup of tea, that he recommends. I will use the categories to see, what other choices there are in the Appstore. Use this book as a springboard to get the personal choices by you to get the best apps. Maybe the numbers would be so close, that statistics and data would be significant. This would be helping to make a better decision on selecting the apps. Your choices would reflect the best via your own personal tastes. I didn't say he picked bad apps, only that ever one who is searching has their own perspective, which ones are really the best for them. My review rating reflects, that there is widsom in simplifying the hunt search. The author's claim probably requires a lengthy time invested in doing that task to do this book. He wrote he searched hundreds of apps and used over 85 hours in doing scanning the store, to finish this book. Perhaps the rest of the time is for the user to follow in his foot steps on what ever journey it takes to complete your own app hunt. Perhaps you will find those apps he missed or didn't warrant a further look, but you did! Good luck and happy hunting!
