Hi Jessica, The first link in my post was to the entry for the Naval Combat app at the AppleVis site. This provides comments from users about the app, such as using the Game Center for group play. Since I did not have this app on my iPhone I supplied the link in lieu of being abled to give a more detailed description of the application. You can also get to the App Store URL by clicking on the link to the App Store in each app entry's description at the AppleVis site. The second link was directly to the App Store, so you can purchase the app. If you do not need to review additional information, especially since this is a free app, you can double tap on that App Store URL link and "purchase" the free app.
Just a few comments: I generally try to post the app store URL with the name of the app and the developer, spelled the way they appear in the App Store, along with current/past price information. If there are any restrictions on use -- such as apps that are only available in the US app store, like the Pandora Radio app or the Mapquest navigation app by AOL, or only available in the U.S. and Canada, such as the MotionX GPS Drive navigation app -- I'll also supply that information as well when I post, if I know about this. If the app is available in another country, clicking on the link will bring you to the correct app, if it is available in your country's app store. In some cases, such as in the case of Naval Combat, the discounted price may not be available because of time zone differences if the app is only meant to be for particular calendar dates. I'll add that there is also a podcast on playing Naval Combat at the AppleVis site. I posted both the app deals of ToDo Checklist (that Eileen mentioned) and Naval Combat under the iOS App Deals at AppleVis. If you check this category at AppleVis, you'll find links to the podcast, also located at the AppleVis site. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Jul 4, 2012, at 2:35 PM, Jessica Brown wrote: > I am confused.
