APPinions: Lots of Love

I'm a sucker for iPhone apps, particularly those of the social networking kind, or anything that enables me to communicate with a large audience of people at once. I'm a Twitter junkie, but I've cut back on my Facebook use as of late (mainly due to the glitches in Facebook's mobile app), but I'm always on the lookout for the newest app that lets users speak their mind.

I stumbled upon an app the other day called iLoveTh.is, which was listed in the "Featured" tab on the iTunes App Store. Being the curious consumer I am, I downloaded it and gave it a test run. It didn't take long for me to size this one up, and the description is pretty simple: Log into the app using your Facebook account, then using the tabs, you can publish to your friends all the things you love, whether it be an iPod track you're listening to, food from your favorite restaraunt, or just about anything else.

The concept is simple and there are no hidden features. It's a simple app for one basic purpose. If you're looking for an app loaded with features or if you're seeking out something groundbreaking in the world of mobile apps, look elsewhere.

As you can tell from the screenshot, the layout is minimal, and there is pretty much nothing to do with this app other than to tell your friends what you love. Other than its limited functionality, there was one other  glaring issue with  this app. In the time that it took me to get familiar with it, the app crashed several times just upon opening it. For a meaningless app with absolutely no features, this is a dealbreaker.

The app is available for free from the iTunes App Store, but unless you feel like having a serperate app for something you can easily do via other, more popular social networking apps (Twitter, Facebook, Google+), there's really no need in wasting your time.
