Contest Fridays: Week 1
To add some color to your weekend and ours, we are launching a contest to give away two $25 iTunes gift cards. We will run this contest every Friday. All you have to do is,
1. Leave a comment on this post with the name of your favorite iPhone/iPod touch app or an app that you would like to see reviewed by Jackie or I.
(or)
2. Tweet the name of an app you would like to see reviewed to the @AppStruck twitter account. Please use the following format to tweet the name of the app.
@AppStruck Contest Fridays Week 1 entry: (name of the app goes here) (link to either the iTunes store page or the company page for the app goes here)
We will pick one app to review from the comments left on this post and one app from tweets sent to us. If we review the app submitted by you on the following Monday or Tuesday, you win the $25 iTunes gift card. In case more than one person submits the same app, the first person who submitted the app wins.
Contest entries have to come in by 12 AM Sunday PST (San Francisco or Los Angeles time, GMT-7) following the contest Friday. At this point the contest is only open to residents of the United States due to shipping restrictions. The same person cannot win more than once every 4 weeks.
Thanks for participating and have a great weekend.
I’d love to see a review of an app I’ve recently been exposed to: Yahtzee Adventures. It’s very addictive, creative and fun. Plus the sound effects are great!
Keep the excellent reviews coming!
Facebook App by far – not the coolest, but the most functional. and most addictive.
