The idea behind MiKids is a nice one, especially if you’ve got more than one child. I feel there’s no shame in admitting that at times I forget who likes what color best, who wears what shoe size and who like McNuggets but not cheeseburgers from the golden arches. I keep track of the kids [...]
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. Your goal is to move the character Rick Marshall through the Sleestak temple, searching for [...]
Spend is a budgeting app and it’s a very thorough app for its $.99 price tag. It’s taken some focus for me to figure out exactly how to use it. I’d highly recommend visiting the website for the app (http://www.adamcode.com/spend/index.html). Scroll to the bottom of the webpage and you’ll see a link for the [...]

This way the app can access your wish list, saved cart, shipping addresses, etc. The search button lets you look for items and the app pulls up a list for you, just [...]
My 9 year old daughter told me about an iOS 5 feature that I was totally unaware of until last week. Miss S. showed me how to set up individual text tones for my contacts.
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.
