    I like reading reviews of gadgets, android apps, electronic items etc, but hate (actually skip, hate is too strong a word!) reviews about bags.

    Reply
  14. Mary

    I adore “container” reviews – bags, wallets, anything like that, as well as EDC items. I do not read anything relating to Bluetooth, though. I still have an old-fashioned 2007 iPod Classic and do not use my phone for music, so streaming from my phone to anything (including my Ford vehicle) just isn’t something I do. Thanks for this contest!

    I love the phone and tablet revews. With all the choices out there, I need all the opinions and data I can get. And they’re a big investment either in cost or length of ownership, so it’s worth it.

    I dislike the wallet and pocket gadget reviews. I just don’t buy these kinds of things so they’re not useful to me.

    I am always reading reviews on apps, especially for my android. I am trying to stay on top of new reviews on android phones to make my new purchase. Reviews on products that are outdated are of new use. I love hearing about the latest and greatest.

    I enjoy “gadget” reviews. I ignore reviews or articles that are not gadget-related, for instance, paper Halloween masks (or perhaps I just don’t see the connection to gadgets).

    Reply

    I guess it really depends on what I’m in the market for. When I’m buying a tablet or laptop, I’ll read tons of reviews on those. I don’t care for reviews that feel forced like childrens toy reviews. I just want to know facts not see lots of pictures with the reviewer’s kids playing with it.

    I love your reviews of anything technology and appliance related (think vacuum cleaners when thinking appliance-related).

    I love it when you introduce us to new items we have not heard of, inspiring purchases.

    I have never been turned off by any of your reviews, even for the stuff I have no interest. Keep up the good work.

    Hi,

    I have bought many of your reviewed products. I particularly love new android device reviews (Julie’s LG G3 review pushed me over the edge into a purchase), I’m looking forward to your take on the LG V10. I also love bluetooth stereo headsets (IEM, over the ears and on) and have purchased a number of this sites reviewed entries. I don’t dislike anything here, but I’m not an Apple user, so don’t love the MAC OS and HW reviews.

    I like anything leather, and heads-ups for new Kickstarter campaigns, though the latter need to be pretty timely if I want to catch an earlybird reward. I’m not particularly interested in Bluetooth speakers.

    I love reviews that are brief and to the point (whatever they are reviews of); I hate reviews where I suspect that the reviewer is getting something in return for the review. I also like reviews of things I didn’t know existed but would be happy to know exist (and are cool).

    I love reviews about new tech and gadgets. I also love reviews about bags – I’m a bit of an addict. Not really anything I don’t like – I’m not much of a work-out warrior – so I usually skip the exercise related posts.

    Love the home improvement stuff. I’m still looking for the just-right security camera system, so keep those coming. I also love the quirky and strange – always amazed at what people can come up with.
    Never knew there were so many earbuds and headphones, can they really be so different? I skip over those.

    I love reviews on home use items/devices, anything Android and apps too. I like Blootooth and sound also. My favorite household use items that still come to mind was the Thermogen bug/mosquito device and the Bubba review from Julie. They were good because I ended up buying or had one. I follow the vacuum cleaner reviews and finally HAD to order one last week. Not one that was reviewed though.

    The only things I dislike are cases for iPhone and so many reviews for IPhone and Mac as I don’t like apple but I do see you have picked up more lately for Android so all is well. I dislike when there are more than one Kickstarter projects in one newsletter.

    “Overall Value” rating?

    For instance if there’s something you like, would use and would also purchase, does the overall usage of the item justify the cost. Like the Apple Watch seems like a cool gadget to have, but after dropping $600 on it, does the use/practicality justify dropping that much on it or it just a cool and fun factor.

    i’m a big fan of the site. particularly i like the reviews of tech products i don’t know about. i have bought several devices after reading about them here. not a big fan of phone accessory reviews; i’m not a big phone accessorizer.

    Hi, I’d like to read more reviews and posts about eBook readers and eBooks in general… you know… reviews that are more personal, not just always geeky technical stuff. I don’t like reviews about iPhone/cases/covers?

    I love gadget reviews about iphone add-ons like bluetooth earbuds, speakers, and other wireless connectivity devices. Not really into reviews about things like Ti pens (what’s up wit that?). Thanks for the great write ups (even the ones about pens…)!

    Just love the variety of reviews, except they are a little bit iOS centric sometimes. Reviewing more non electronic gadgets and gadget storage options would be great.

    Great Site! OK, I don’t care for apple product reviews but I understand that they are money market leaders. I do like EDC most but I read nearly everything.

    I hate any Apple-related reviews. I don’t use any Apple gear, and don’t plan to.

    I love the reviews of gear not usually covered elsewhere, such as the stick-on grips you reviewed recently, or the various tablet stands you’ve reviewed. These are useful items not often seen discussed anywhere else.

    Sure I would like to win. I love reading about new personal tech, gadgets and such. Likely I won’t be chosen as usual and I won’t try again. HEY YOU…what does it take? marty, just a little un-mcfly

    I’m a big fan of the site. I really like all of the reviews, but sometimes skip over the Bluetooth speaker reviews. I’d appreciate a note at the top of iphone or android specific reviews so I can choose to read or not to read. It’s disappointing to get excited about a new product only to read at the bottom of the article that it’s only for the platform that I don’t use.

    Kudos to the reviewers. They’re doing a great job and writing good reviews.

    I like the geek toys and other quirky things reviews but could do without EDC bags/purse reviews. I do appreciate that there isn’t any breathless brand worship going on though.

    I like tech reviews about new tech products that make life and organization easier and more enjoyable and actually work, so I don’t have to spend more time trying to get it to work right than its saving me

    I like the site and reviews. My favorites are the tech gear and and sections which contain various useful items. For example the cases and covers is really a category covering a single use. How many cases and covers do you really need?

    Julie, I like your blog and reviews already. I’d like to read what you have to say about new gadgets coming in China and India, lesser known ones maybe too? I can’t think of what I don’t really like but I have less interest in stuff like covers and stylus… Thanks.

    I like to read your conflicted decisions with what to take with you on vacation only to realize what won’t work.

    Makes things easier for me.

    I really like the reviews about new technology but lately I seen a lot reviews of accessories only, also it would be nice if you can review an App(apple and android) weekly.
