Black Friday November Giveaway – Apple deals out specials for Employees

Evidently Apple will be.. making some of its most popular paid apps free to Apple Employees this holiday season.   If you’re an Apple Employee that’s just coming on board, not to worry – they’ll likely have a promo code for you too.   On another note,   Apparently over the weekend (Saturday, November 17th) there were some Fake ‘Apple’ apps that appeared on Google Play. I guess it just goes to show how easy it is to get an App on the Google Play Store.

Mobee the Mystery Shopping App that rewards customers for reviewing businesses

Mobee the Mystery Shopping App that rewards customers for reviewing businesses

Last week as one of my 5 Best Apps of the week.. I featured an App called “MobAdWin“.   To remind you,   MobAdwin is an app that rewards users (in cash) for viewing,rating, and providing feedback to the advertisers/business owners ads they see.   THIS WEEK.
