Comfy Period

If the title of this post didn’t scare off any male readers, let me spell it out for you. This will be an app review geared for my female reading audience. You can’t continue reading and then say I didn’t warn you. There are several apps available that help you keep track of your menstrual [...]

 

Wurdle

Wurdle is a fabulous little game. The best way I can describe it is that it’s similar to Boggle. You have a group of letters and your job is to connect them and make words. You do this by touching a letter and then “drawing” a line with your finger to the other letters you [...]

 

Grocery Zen

When I first got my iPhone I immediately started looking at grocery apps. I was looking for something that would do the actual shopping AND pay the bill but it seems no one has perfected that concept yet. Darn. After doing some research on iTunes I decided to give Grocery Zen a try and I’ve [...]

 

Pregnancy Tracker

This is another app that will track the progress of your pregnancy. The interface isn’t quite as exciting as iPregnancy and doesn’t have the baby name feature, but it’s a good little app. When you open Pregnancy Tracker for the first time it asks you for your due date. After that the main screen will [...]

iPregancy

Ok, before I start this app review I just have to say I’m not a huge fan of the icon that shows up on your phone and again when you first start up the app. I know I’m a prude but really, do we need to see that much naked pregnant belly? And if we [...]

 

Web MD Mobile

This app was designed for all the hypochondriacs and worrying mothers in the world. And yes, I place myself in both categories. It takes the "Symptom Checker" feature from the Web MD website and puts it on your iPhone. Touch the "symptoms" button on the bottom of the screen and you get a graphic of [...]

 

Tic Tac Toe Free

Simple Tic Tac Toe Game that the kids love playing. It lets you enter the names of players and then keeps track of your scores at the bottom of the screen. So, so simple yet it keeps the kids entertained for hours.   Seller: Optime Software Price when Reviewed: Free Click here to see the [...]

Memory Match

A simple memory game. You touch the tiles to reveal adorable animal faces. When you get a match you’re rewarded by colorful shooting stars. The app keeps track of your score and your game time at the bottom of the screen. This is a fantastic game for those of us who hate setting up the [...]

 

iChalky

My kids love this app. The idea is you have a stick figure that moves and rotates with your phone’s movements. The settings screen lets you adjust the “physics” behind it but we just love watching iChalky wiggle and jump on his own. You can also touch iChalky and a thumb tack appears. Click on [...]

 

Fast Food

What a handy little tool this is. Once a week I have a night where I’m in the car from 4:50-7:15 shuttling kids to and from classes. Lovely timing right in the middle of dinner and if my kids don’t get fed close to schedule they become very, very disagreeable. So once a week we [...]

iOS 5.01 Released: Includes Fix For iOS 5.0 Battery Life Issue

iOS 5 Gets Its First Update Thanks to my husband Zack for getting this post out about the new iOS 5.1 release. I’ve yet to install the update…but I’ll be following his instructions below. Shortly after the iPhone 4S hit the market a bug was discovered that severely impacted battery life on those new devices. [...]

What I Do

I review iPhone apps for moms. I have a decent grasp of techy things but the technical guts (for lack of a better word) of how the apps work are beyond me. So my reviews will be practical and purely subjective. Reviews for moms by a real life, actual mom. My kids will vouch for me.
