For those (like me) that didn't see the thread on it already...
So, seems Bandai Namco has brought out not one, not two, but three IDOLM@STER games to the App Store.

... and I thought Square Enix had hilarious pricing...

Oh great idea, I didn't even think about that, a list of Gaf users (Because we all have such great taste) who we can follow for great app recommendations.
Add me to on Appshopper: Guv_Bubbs
We should add a list in the OP
Was planning to stick with the old app, but now you're tempting me!

So was I at first but now that I think about it, a stream of hand picked apps is so much nicer than an auto generated list. +iPhone 5 support
Reeeeeaaaallly? Jailbreak required?
What bothers me is the lack of iPad support
There's a F2P Fast & Furious 6 game out on the Canadian store. Going by the publisher's track record, it seems like an IAP stinkfest. I'm downloading it now to see if it's any good.
Update: it's a CSR clone

Not buying any of them at this price.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Wait, appshopper is back?
How do you add friends? do you have to link a twitter account or am i missing something obvious.
Create an Appshopper account within the app, linking to Twitter will then pull any of your Twitter followers who also have Appshopper accounts into your Appshopper friendslist automatically. You'll also be able to add friends manually by pressing Edit > Add within the app.
I was trying to avoid linking to twitter. Oh well.
You don't have to, it just helps adding people.

I have yet to try it extensively...seems to me the only thing the new AppShopper miss is the popular tab (and it's not universal for some reason either).
When bored I used the popular tab a lot.
I could gladily get rid of the pupular tap and have it substituted with a 'NeoGAF' approved stream...but how it works? (I'm away from my iphone now).
I will see what you all are wishing for?
The popular tab, as far as I know, was based on downloads too...but I do not think the new app knows what one will download, not being tied to your iTunes account.
So?
I saw you can rate games too (owned ones).
A NeoGAF 'rated' games stream could be useful too.

Was this removed from the store? I can't find it even if I click on a direct link to it posted on toucharcade.
The stream populates with apps that your friends have added to their Wish List or My Apps lists. From what I can tell the same as Popular except it's now whats popular among your friends/GAF.
Also this:

Junior, please.
Hahahahaha, $54.99!?

I have you on my friends list as Pitta, I think it came from Twitter recognizing you already having an Appshopper account.
(I'm Tunesmith on appshopper/tunesmiff on twitter for anyone wanting to add me. I haven't synced my app library to my account yet though so my recommendations are barren.)

Baldur's Gate 2 fo sho, I think me and Pray might be the only folks in the world who played the whole thing through
Xcom is gonna rock my world too, so excited for that. And the inevitable San Andreas port next year! And if Stainless aren't working on a Carmageddon 2 port then they're for it.
I could do with a few more decent platformers in the League of Evil vein, and some more Metroidvanias.
I'll send you an invite - my Golf Star username is "Beryx". I ended up making a new account and also bought the $4 IAP to unlock unlimited hearts to Lv. 30 - liking it a lot so far. It's far better than Let's Golf (I've only played LG2, I think) and I'm curious to see how my opinion of it changes now that I can play virtually unlimited.
That's odd, I can't find it either. Why would they remove it? Does it have a hidden NES emulator on day 6? lol

Yeah! BG was awesome. Do we know if BG2 enhanced is coming out for sure? Was BG profitable for Beamdog?

It was just recently mentioned they added 350k words to BG2:EE, bringing it to a ridiculous total of ~1.5 million, along with a bit of new VA for the new dialog.

Anyone after buddies on appshopper's new app, I'm wideawakewesley on there.
And if anyone has any recommendations for how best to use the fish on Fish Out Of Water, I'd love to hear them, I think my best is only 8.5.

Has anyone tried League of Evil 2? Seems to be free at the moment.

Oh, I forgot about Mysterious Castle, it just got updated to 1.11 for pinch zoom too. But I'll play that when it's released on PC since I've already sort of bought it there.
Figured GAF would be all over this one. Anyone?
Seriously, that looks awesome. Might check it out when I get a chance.
It's not bad, menu's are clunky and it could use a tutorial. Fundamentals are there but it lacks any polish.
2013 continues to be year of the point-and-click adventure games on iOS for me.
Here's my list that I've played so far:
Year Walk
The Silent Age
Broken Sword
Broken Sword 2
Beneath a Steel Sky
Gemini Rue
Ghost Trick
Just finished Ghost Trick earlier today. I really enjoyed the game and it had a neat, albeit a bit convoluted, story. The way they deliver the story was painfully slow, though. And sometimes my phone wouldn't save appropriately causing me to backtrack through horrifically slow dialogue. Gameplay was different and interesting, though.
So what should I get into next? Finding Teddy, The Journey Down, or Cognition?

Was very clunky back when it was originally released in September last year so it might have gone under everyone's radar since it's significant update this year.

Added some backlog to the OP:
Trailer / 30 min gameplay
Requires an iPad2 or later -- MMO, game purchase includes a free month of access, after which subscription options start at $1 per month.

AppShopper seems kind of rubbish without "What's New," it's a pretty massive part of its functionality

Been a while since I looked at the topic post, but when did we stop having impressions? I wanna know why those games up there are awesome! :x
Yep, I'm sticking with the old app. The new one is a downgrade without "What's New" or "Popular."
Curious about Mysterious Castle.......

I have a feeling you just use Iexplorer on a computer and place a directory in there without jail breaking, but you may wanna make sure first.

I'm told this only works if you haven't installed iOS 6 or newer - iOS 6 made it impossible to write to an app's root directory, apparently.
I would prefer to have GAF impressions in the OP (one-two liners prefered!!) rather than my norm copy/paste with minor tweak blurbs, absolutely. Thing is most of the time recently I haven't seen many. Also I have to keep the OP light on text or it hits the 24000 char limit near the end of the month's.

Just quote stuff from this thread. And you should be allowed to take stuff on and off if the game 'loses interest super fast', like that fish game.

Not actually that important
Will add something to the OP about Appshopper, a GAF-list of sorts could do wonders. I'll also get around to updating the OP in general, hang in there
I'm back!
We can add an appshopper row to the GAF iOS membership list, what do you say?
Also, about impressions: I'd say we had many about Fish out of the water at the very least.
Game is not very good, IMO. Good for an afternoon at the most, no compelling score mechanics, zero lasting appeal.
