Yo Mama So….Pro

Looking for a few good “Yo Mama So…” jokes?? This just may be the app for you. Begin by choosing a Yo Mama category (fat, ugly, lazy, old, etc.). You’ll see a list of insults to choose from. Tap the one you want and there’s a screen that shows you the entire joke. From here [...]

 

Baby Brain

Life with a newborn baby means endless feedings, diaper changes, sporadic sleep patterns- it all blurs together in those first few weeks and Baby Brain is designed to help you keep track and make sense of it all. It’s an easy to use app with a great built in help system. Hints pop up as [...]

 

Popper! Lite

Oh my! Popper Lite is tricky and completely addictive. You play the game by shooting oval shapes called Pops (they remind me of pills, Tic Tacs and Chiclets) at other pops. Match up the colors and the pops disappear. There’s a button that will rotate the pops before you fire them. By tilting your iPhone [...]

 

Elephant Song

One of the perks about doing this website is hearing about apps that I might not otherwise find. Apps that don’t make it onto the iTunes featured lists but are perfectly wonderful. The Elephant Song app is one of these. Apparently the original song and video by Eric Herman have been on You Tube and [...]

Free Shipping.org

  The Free Shipping.org app is brought to you by the folks behind the Coupon Sherpa app. This app gives you a list of online stores offering free shipping and other internet offers. So even though the title is “Free Shipping” you’ll find other great online deals to be had. You can view the offers [...]

 

Cooking Mama Lite

I really, really wanted to like this app. And I do, to a certain degree. I like that it brings Cooking Mama (a fantastic Nintendo game, we have the wii version) to my iPhone.  You’re still chopping and mixing like you do in the original game but it’s been adapted for the iPhone. Now you [...]

 

Cell Minute Tracker vs. AT&T’s myWireless Mobile App

I was really excited when I found the Cell Minute Tracker app a few weeks ago and downloaded it to my iPhone. I thought to myself this the app that is going to save me some money each month and keep my husband from asking if I know how many text messages I’ve sent each [...]

Birth Date

Birth Date calculates your child’s exact age in months, weeks and days. Just use the plus button to add a child’s name and their birthday. When you tap save the dates are calculated and displayed. This could be a helpful app if your child is young enough to still calculate age by months. I always [...]

 

Family Vault

I really like the idea behind Family Vault. It’s an app that allows you to store important ID information about family members on your iPhone. The first time you use the app you’ll need to create a user account with your email address. You’ll also establish a password and PIN. (If you have other apps [...]

 

Key Dates

Another great app from the folks at IconApps, Inc. Key Dates is designed to keep track of important dates and events in your life. If this is the only app from IconApps on your iPhone then you’ll first need to set up an account. If you already have one of their apps (Giftster, Family Vault) [...]

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.
