One last app from IconApps. (These folks have been very busy making simple to use yet very useful apps!) Giftster lets you keep track of a gift list on your iPhone. It’s very straightforward – tap the plus sign to enter in a name, the occasion, due date, set a reminder, select whether the gift [...]
Kids ID is an app that allows you to keep all of your children’s vital information in one convenient location. You enter in your child’s information (name, date of birth, height, weight, eye color, distinguishing features, etc.) as well as your own information. There are also fields to store your child’s medical and school information. [...]
What a sweet, entertaining game this is! Tic Tac Paddywhack! is a version of Tic-Tac-Toe that uses animal and children’s faces instead of x’s and o’s. The graphics are cute and there’s much more to this game than Tic-Tac-Toe. Some things I really loved about this game: When you play the one player mode you [...]
iBattleships takes the classic Battleship game and brings it to your iPhone. The game play is simple and straightforward. You use a track ball on the screen to position your ships. There’s also a button for rotating and then dropping your ships into position. Once you’ve got your ships where you want them you choose [...]
I had my first child almost ten years ago. When she was born I did my best to keep track of how often she was eating and messing diapers all while trying to track her sleep and get her on a schedule. With my next two I don’t remember keeping track much at all. I [...]
My husband forwarded this link to me today and I gave it a try this afternoon. It works! I checked out the Office episodes and they even had last week’s episode available. It’s as easy as going to www.nbc.com on your iPhone and then selecting the full episodes. Choose the one you want to watch [...]
The CPSC Recall app is for moms who want to stay on top of product recalls. CPSC stands for Consumer Products Safety Commission. This app gives you a list of the most recent recalls. I was shocked at how many recalls pulled up the first time I used this app. I naively assumed that the [...]
Flag Match is a matching game, similar to Bejeweled. Your goal is to line up three world flags in a row. Do this and they’ll disappear causing the flags around them to shift and move. If you can’t find three in a row you can tap and drag flags to move them around. You’re trying [...]
My little boy knows how to download apps onto my iPhone. Hasn’t been a problem in the past. I set him up on the free games page and race car games show up on my phone. Not a big deal. He’ll usually ask me before he downloads anything and I’ve put the kabosh on some [...]
Earlier in the week cnet had an interesting article talking about the possibility of AT&T dropping the cost of the iPhone’s entry level service plan. If this does happen I’m hoping it’s an across the board price cut, not just for new subscribers. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10235782-94.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0
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.
