A reader tipped me off to The Weather Channel app. She said that she likes it better then the built in iPhone weather app and after using it I’ve decided that I agree with her. The Weather Channel app uses your iPhone’s current location and pulls up the weather for that area. You can [...]

My mom was telling me tonight that she discovered a way to turn off the sound for Chicktionary. Yee haw I thought, time to say goodbye to the Hee Haw music that plays LOUDLY when you open the app. So tonight I opened up Chicktionary and noticed things have changed since it updated for me [...]

I like the simplicity behind these apps. They are memory-style games using frogs (Flip Frog) and farm animals (Flip Farm). The great thing about the apps is that they come with two levels – preschooler (2-5+) and toddler (1-2 years). In Flip Frog the toddler level shows a screen of colorful frogs. Your child taps [...]

My mom will back me up on this – I’ve always struggled with cooking measurement conversions. Remembering how many cups in a quart or pints in a gallon is a challenge for me. Math issues again, I know. One of the many reasons I love my iPhone is that it helps me work around those [...]

If you’ve read my review of Flixter then you’ve already read almost everything I’m going to say about the Fandango app. I opened it up and could have sworn I was looking at the same app. It operates along the same lines giving you a list of movies that are showing in theaters near you. [...]

If you’ve got a preschooler then Shape Builder a great app for your iPhone. It’s a simple premise but my kids love playing it over and over. I asked my four year old if he liked this app and he said he loved it. Even my 9 year old has been caught using it. On [...]
