Another recipe app, this one brought to you by the folks at McCormick. The recipes featured in this app use McCormick products. It’s a decent enough app but I think I’ve been spoiled by the Betty Crocker Mobile Cookbook. The McCormick Recipe Finder lets you browse through recipes – sorted by categories. You choose a [...]
Another magic iPhone app – one that somehow works but I have no idea how it does it’s thing. If you’re in the car listening to the radio and you want to know the name and artist of the song you’re hearing, you use Shazam to get that information. The app claims to work in [...]
The premise behind Kinder Stats is not one a parent wants to dwell on, but I think it’s an absolutely wonderful thing to have on your iPhone. The idea of this app is that should anything ever happen to your child, you have a record of all their vital statistics right on your iPhone. For [...]
Whenever my husband and I go out, which isn’t too often, we inevitably have a discussion about how much to pay the babysitter. I’m of the opinion that you round up and keep the babysitter happy and wanting to come back. He’s likes to figure out the exact amount of time they’ve been over and [...]
Is it just me or are coupons all the rage right now? I used to get looks when I presented my stack at the checkout, not anymore. Seems like everyone is clipping and doubling and looking for discounts. Which brings me to this great new app, Coupon Sherpa. If you’re looking for savings, put this [...]
We’re getting to the point in my pregnancy where it’s time to start thinking of baby names. With our first child we discussed names (constantly) from the very beginning. Now we’re on number four and it’s something along the lines of casually mentioning “What do you think about Betsy Sue Jane?” only to quickly move [...]
This app works as a rattle for your baby. Let me say upfront that I’m not a rattle mom. I don’t have anything against them, they’ve just never been my thing. But if you and your baby like rattles you might be interested in the Bunny Rattle app. Open the app up and you’ll see [...]
This app is one book in a series, all about a Little White Bunny and his adventures. The story, “Happy Birthday Little White Bunny” is a simple one with colorful illustrations. Start the app up and the story will be read aloud to your child. Under options you can set the pages to turn automatically [...]
This is an app that you are going to want to grab as soon as you can! Keep reading all the way to the end of my review for the feature that makes this app a slam dunk. (Saving the best for last I guess.) When you first open up Grocery Gadget [...]
This is a hilarious app but it’s not staying on my iPhone. This is not a statement against the app, iFu Kung Fu does exactly what it promises. However, my son has seen Kung Fu Panda many times and picked up a few moves. If he found this app on my iPhone it’d be broken in [...]
WebMD Baby was released earlier this month and it is awesome! Seriously one of the best “baby” apps I’ve seen to date
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.
