Let me begin by saying that I’m not a regular eBay user. I know there are people out there who live for it but I haven’t caught that gung-ho spirit yet. I’ve purchased a few things on it and sold a few things too (as has my husband) but it’s not my go to shopping [...]
This app is like a mini Pandora for children’s music. The folks behind this app have taken the top 100 songs from their children’s music collections and put them together into the Top 100 Kid Songs app. The app pulls up a random song from this list and shows the title and the CD it [...]
Did you all get the email from AT&T about the new YPmobile app (for yellowpages.com)? It found it’s way to my inbox last week and I figured I’d give the free app a try. In the YPmobile app if you tap the “Business” button you can search local businesses by typing in a keyword or [...]
The iStoryTime Kids Book apps are a series of original children’s stories, written for the iPhone. The books that are currently available are – The Brave Monkey Pirate, Fred the Fish, Shoe-per Duper Shoes, Binky the Pink Elephant and (the title that intrigues me the most) The Wiener Dog Magnet. I have Fred the Fish [...]
6500+ Cool Facts was a “check this app out” from my husband and I can see exactly why the app appealed to him- he loves learning new things and figuring out how stuff works. The only thing this app does is give you random “cool facts”. They’ll show up one per screen and when you [...]
Kid Songs Kwiz Game is a darling app with a simple premise that will appeal to your kids. On the screen you’ll see four pictures while you hear a song melody playing. Your child has to touch the picture that matches the song. It’s that simple. At the bottom of the screen is a timer that’s [...]
I’ve heard horror stories about texting charges from friends with teenagers and we’re already getting complaints from our 9 year old because we won’t let her have a cell phone like some of her friends. The other day she asked me what wasn’t invented when I was a kid like her. When I answered email, [...]
This looks like an absolutely wonderful app, but it’s not going on my iPhone until the price comes down. $9.99 is beyond my app budget at the moment. I’m extremely tempted because we love George at our house and from the iTunes description it sounds like a great app for kids. I’d love to hear [...]
My husband forwarded this link to me earlier in the week. I’m not a big fan of my iPhone hanging off my computer by a cord so we might have to invest the $6.00 and try this dock out. Here’s the link to the review on cnet.com: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10246399-233.html?tag=TOCmoreStories.0
EMS Alert is an app that you hope to never have to use after you initially set it up, but if you do need it you’ll be very glad it’s on your iPhone. It allows you to enter in the personal information that would be needed in an emergency. This is not a complete list [...]
Chalk Walk is a very unique iPad app. It has been developed to help your children improve the pincer grip they use to hold a pencil.
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.
