joanne – Hi – glad you enjoyed the post. I had a look at your app's App Store page. It looks interesting – I would offer to take a look myself, but it's just absolutely not my area – don't know enough about (or really have enough interest in) astrology to do it justice. Niche subject I think, as you've said. I will ask our other writers whether any of them have intereset, and I'll mention it to a couple other iPhone site owners I'm frendly with.

My only general suggestion would be to perhaps get on Twitter, Friendfeed, some of the other social sites / services and see if you can connect with more iPhone sites and the people who run them. I'll email you a couple names …

Hello PatrickJ
I thoroughly enjoyed your informative article on iPhone app reviews and I learned something I didn't know before. Apparently people pay for good reviews.

I am in a rather unique situation in that I am the author of an app now selling in the App Store. It appeals to a niche market in that it is based on the subject of timing with astrology. Title: 2009 Electional Astrology Planning Guide. Do you know of anyone I can approach to review this app?

Any help you can provide is greatle appreciated.

100% agreed! Well done!

I've heard some rumors that Micro$oft have done a lot of unscrupulous journalism to dump OS2 and to boost sales for Win95.
