Priceless Picks is a unique application that is trying to create a web off user-tagged deals and points of interest in a visually pleasing way. The app is a collection of different location-based points that can be browsed through by dragging your finger along virtual map of the area that you are located in. Because it uses location awareness, it is hard for iPod Touch users to use this app. Points of interest pop up in different colored bubbles with some text about why there is something interesting at that location.

Most of the bubbles are different advertisements from the company itself on different products that are on sale. This is sometimes annoying but the good thing is that different categories can be turned off and on. The app overall becomes a collection of what people think is interesting as well as different products that companies want to sell. While the idea itself is a fun one, the overall usability of this app is somewhat pointless. Scrolling through the area hoping to stumble upon something interesting is a lame way to find deals or different interesting spots.

So the app becomes basically more of a marketing tool than a useful application. This is why I can't really recommend downloading it. It is fun to see how we can interact with a well-designed interface, but the app is basically pointless. It is free in the app store, so check it out and see for yourself.
