New In The App Store – Consumer Reports

Long before you could just "Google It" to find out if a product was worth the money, there was the "bible of shopping"- Consumer Reports.

There were stacks of old issues in my house growing up because if CR rated "it" (whatever "it" was, highly, "it" was worth buying!)

Even now, if you want a source you know is reliable CR is the place to go. What makes CR different is that they do not accept outside advertising, free test samples or anything else that might limit their ability to offer unbiased reviews. They have "… no agenda other than the interests of the consumer…" And it shows!

Now, thanks to the new CR app, to get that wealth of information now all you need to do is reach in your pocket and pull out your iPhone.

The app lets you access consumer news, advice and best buy information on products tested and rated by the expert testers and editors at Consumer Reports.

According to the folks at CR…

ConsumerReports.org for the iPhone and iPod Touch provides the latest news and information, whether you’re looking for tips on choosing a digital camera, figuring out which hybrid car is right for you, searching for news about the latest product recalls, or want advice on shopping during these roller-coaster economic times.

Get our experts’ top picks and shopping tips on everything from cars to cameras, GPS systems to gas prices, LCD-TVs to lead test kits. Worried about how you should navigate these tough economic times? Turn to sound consumer advice from Consumer Reports – we’re always there to help you save money on all the things you buy, everyday.

And in a nice bit of turn-around… we’ll have a review of "IT" up soon.
