iGarageSale for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review
We previously told you about the iGarageSale app in terms of Apple's decision that it needed to be rated as a 17+ plus app due to the inclusion of a search box.
Well, we put all of that silliness aside to look at the app with fresh eyes for today's app review. iGarageSale draws upon craigslist garage sale and yard sale listings, then overlays them on a map, showing location relative to you. A few years back, I went on a retrogame-buying frenzy, and countless hours (literally, unfortunately) were spent plotting sale locations on a map and then figuring out how to best plan my route.
If this app had been around then, it would have been a godsend for me. If you're an occasional sale-goer, the app might be overkill for you (try the lite version) and because the listings are pulled from online sources, it will have limited usability for those living in more remote locales, without vibant online sale postings
In short , iGarageSale is straightforward, and delivers on what it promises, provided you live in an area that takes advantage of online posting.
