Land of the Lost

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the Land of the Lost app. It could have been an app full of shameless promotion for the summer movie but instead the developer has created a smart, puzzle with twenty-five different levels.

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.
