This is a blog dedicated to finding and reviewing massage related apps, it started after I found an app which was very useful to me. I will be writing unbiased reviews (as much as possible) and primarily looking at iPhone apps, however there may be some Android phone and iPad apps reviewed. I personally own an iPhone 4.
