New app brings the newspaper feel back to browsing classifieds

The days of thumbing through the classified section of the local paper are quickly fading. Most of us have turned toward more modern means to search for employment, apartments and “vintage” furniture, namely Craigslist. With its mass of information the site can sometimes be hard to navigate so for those who pine for simpler days, Lifelike Apps, INC. has just released a slick iPad app with a classic twist.

Lifelike Craig HD is a fully functional Craigslist browser that offers a fantastic visual interface. The app transforms your local Craigslist from the mundane list of links into an iPad browsable paper, complete with newspaper fonts and a classic layout. If something catches the eye you can add it to your favorites, circling it for later reference.

Overall, Lifelike Craig HD provides a much more comfortable and fun way to browse the classified listing on Craigslist. The graphic interface is easier to navigate and makes finding what you want much faster. The app can be purchased in the app store for $1.99.
