Another app review request from my brother. Crazy Penguin Catapult has been on my iPhone for awhile and my kids play it all the time, but I hadn’t touched it until now. I tried figuring it out on my own but had to ask my girls for a tutorial. Sad, I know. In Crazy Penguin [...]
I had an email from my brother asking me to review Touch Physics Lite and I’ll bet he was smiling when he sent it over. Send the big sister who has kids that are rapidly destroying her brain cells an app suggestion with “Physics” in the title. I will admit that this app challenged me. [...]
I had an email tipping me off to this app. Psyclops Dance Mixer is an app that lets you create a unique music video. You pick a dancer then mix your music. There’s a wide variety of music to choose from. Next you make a timeline of different dance moves and backgrounds. When you’re done [...]
Thank You Gift List isn’t a gift tracking app but one that tracks your thank you notes instead. When my kids receive gifts I usually write them all down on a piece of paper, then hope that I’ll remember where I put the paper when it’s time to ask (forcefully remind) them to write their [...]
Whoa – the minute you open this app you’re going to realize you need to visit the help section first. There’s a lot to this Gift List that you’ll want to read up on before you start. You’ll find a great tutorial if you touch the “i” button. There’s so much to this app that [...]
The Gift Manager app is an easy one to maneuver through and update. To add someone to your list you simply touch the edit button at the top right of your screen. From here you can scroll down to each category and touch the green plus button to add someone to that group. The preset [...]
Gift Guru is a free app that helps you keep track of special occasions and who you need to buy gifts for. You can enter your own “recipients” or import them from your iPhone contact list. For a free app, Gift Guru had a surprising amount of layers to it. It seemed like as I [...]
Yet another app that makes me wonder why someone doesn’t invent a wrist strap for the iPhone. Lightsaber Unleashed turns your iPhone into a lightsaber. When you swing your phone around (again, wriststrap anyone??) your lightsaber changes and your iPhone makes cool lightsaber-y noises. You can also play classic music from the Star Wars movies. [...]
ManGo is an app that helps you find locations for stores, restaurants, banks, etc. It’s easy to use and has a couple features that I really liked. If you touch the "Feature" button at the bottom of the screen you’ll see some ManGo picks. I don’t think you can go wrong with a list that [...]
I finally got around to installing an Ambiance update (I’ve mentioned before how bad I am about updating my apps) and when I opened it up I thought something had gotten mixed up. Ambiance has undergone a MAJOR overhaul. The app looks and feels totally different. The first major difference is that now you have [...]
Chalk Walk is a very unique iPad app. It has been developed to help your children improve the pincer grip they use to hold a pencil.
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. [...]
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.
