AppSafari Contributing Authors
At AppSafari we actually play with and use apps, then write honest unbiased reviews on those apps. We write about apps we love and about new and upcoming apps in the news. Our team is dedicated to finding you the best apps, and writing reviews that help you discover what to buy and what to stay away from in the App Store. We are specialized in iPhone apps, iPad apps, and iPod touch games.

Julie Guan
Julie is a part-time insomniac, full-time dreamer with an obsession for the written word (and cats). If being a fangirl actually paid, she’d be rolling in it. As a side-job to participating in fandom, she writes app reviews. Really wordy ones.
Aucoeur Ngo
Aucoeur is a professional procrastinator currently in college on the 10-year plan. She also responds to Stiney (rhymes with ‘weenie’), though some people have taken to pronouncing it like ‘winey.’ Her birthday is on July 10, a day she happily shares with Sofia Vergara, Keroppi and Nikola Tesla.
Linda Ta
Linda is a recent college grad who enjoys platformers, puzzlers, RPGs, and resource management games. When she’s not testing apps, you’ll find her drooling over foodgawker pics and burning calories.

Kyle Hayes
Kyle Hayes has been programming since he was ten years old. His curious and innovative mind has led him to owning many bookshelves of computer programming and technical books for which he merits much of his knowledge. He further expanded and strengthened his skillset when he completed his Bachelor’s of Science degree in Computer Information Systems at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Today, Kyle publishes a technical blog, kylehayes.info, and is a senior web developer for a large media and entertainment company in North Hollywood, California. His passion for innovation, and his drive to inspire has led him to achieve his lifelong dreams and aspirations. When he is not sitting in front of a computer, Kyle enjoys doing amateur and stock photography, listening to a wide variety of music, going out with his wife, and attending his local church. Getting Started with Dojo JavaScript Toolkit is Kyle’s first (and hopefully not last) published book.
Joseph Ho
www.JoHo3D.weebly.com I am a 3D artist, 2D artist, and a reviewer part time. My passions are games of all kinds, of all systems, and of all genres. My personal pet peeve are pretty games with no substance or likable characters/story/action.

Richard Best
I am a 35 year old IT professional who still thinks he’s 21. Tech gadgets and apps are things I just can’t do without, and I never leave home without my iPad. I also believe that great hardware is nothing without great apps.

Jenni Ward
I’m a copywriter and matriarch to a family with five sons. My interests include running, yoga, soccer, nerding, Legos, asking whether or not homework is completed, and getting people where they need to be on time. I am also a reluctant computer problem trouble shooter. And, finally, I rely so much on my iPhone that my husband will take it away from time to time.
Sally Pope
I’m a recent grad school grad who’s looking for work and likes doing random things on the side like reviewing iPhone apps. It was only one year ago that I moved up in life from the cheapest phone available to the iPhone, and I’ve been in love ever since. I don’t like things that waste time, so I’ll let you know what apps are worth downloading.
