Also I could care less what other reviewers say, I can read that on my own also. Keep up the good work, maybe a free and paid top 3 and crapp section each would work!</p> I like the new format, but wish u would inform us about more than 3 good and one bad app. I think the new format works, it just seems rushed, unlike previous weeks.

I appreciate you reading the Avalanche each week. Sometimes a change in format is received well, and sometimes it isn't. I welcome your feedback and the feedback from any other readers. Feel free to comment, folks!</p> @JKT and christomapher: thanks for your comments! I appreciate you reading the Avalanche each week.

I would imagine one of the reasons why there are less apps featured in Avalanche these days is simply because when the App Store debuted, there was a lot to cover because there were many apps available right away.

Make sense? I know bookmarks don't take up a lot of room. So keep it, you might find something really useful. (Thanks for the PDANet info!)

You used to have info on 12 apps, and now it's down to just 4. That makes it much less valuable to we the readers. Also, we can read App Store reviews ourselves--we want you to add some valuable insight. In fact, the weekly Avalanche feature is the main reason I came to your site. If you're going to effectively do away with it as you have here in #11, I'm unlikely to keep you bookmarked. Sorry, but that's how I feel.</p> I vote that you return "Avalanche" to the old format.
