The 2012 Readers' Choice Awards on About.com

The winners have been announced. Find out who won here.

	The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories Developer: Oceanhouse Media Inc. Price: $8.99 This app is a thrilling surprise for lovers of Dr. Seuss. It features 7 stories that were published in magazines in the 1950s but were rarely seen after that until their return in this app. The stories come to life with voice actors, music and sound, and--of course-Dr. Seuss' trademark illustrations. Purchase at iTunes
	Feed the Monster Game Developer: Ziggity Zoom Price: $0.99 This game lets kids express their creativity and have adventures. In it, they can create their own burping, sneezing monsters and then care for them by feeding them and guiding them through games like Food Fight, Food Catch, and Feeding Frenzy. Purchase at iTunes
	Flipboard for iPhone Developer: Flipboard Inc. Price: Free The hit iPad app Flipboard came to the iPhone in 2011 in a version that maintained everything that was good about the original while also adapting to the iPhone's size and shape. Flipboard lets you import social media feeds and then displays them in a magazine-style layout. Browsing your Facebook, Twitter, or other feed has never looked so good. Download at iTunes
	PDF Connoisseur Developer: Kdan Enterprises Price: $9.99 This high-end document reader does a lot more than display PDFs (though of course it does that, too). It also lets you save documents to PDF, have documents read aloud to you in multiple languages, fill out PDF forms, convert photos into PDFs, and much more. You can also annotate files and sync them to web-based sharing services like Dropbox. Purchase at iTunes
	StarCall Developer: SK Planet Price: Free Fans of K-Pop (Korean pop music, that is) love this app, which lets them get up close and personal with their favorite performers. It lets users get real-time video calls from a variety of K-Pop stars. It's even good for non-Korean speakers: calls are translated into English, Chinese, and Taiwanese, too. Download at iTunes
