The CS Product Reviews app gives users access to the review database on consumersearch.com.

Best for: Product reviews

Available for: iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad

Ironically, many of the leading product review publications’ apps, including Consumer Reports and CNET, have lousy reviews from users. This app, from ConsumerSearch.com, is the exception, averaging 4-1/2 out of 5 stars over more than 1,100 reviews (over several versions). The app gives you access to the ConsumerSearch.com's review database, and scanning bar codes of two separate items will bring up analyses for each one. The app also offers price comparison and store finding services. 

Cool feature: Don't know exactly what you're looking for? Browse a wide range of product categories including Home and Garden, Fitness and Sports, Cameras and Electronics, and Family and Pets. Click here for the iPhone version.
