Another free money app, this time Money – Free from the iBear Soft company. This app has decent reviews on iTunes but it’s a bit much for me. Too many details, graphs and information. I need baby steps when it comes to budgeting. The financial side of this app looks very, very thorough but again [...]
This story from the iPhone Download Blog cam through on my Twitter feed. It was news to me that you could get a refund for an iPhone app. After reading the story I read the comments and found it interesting how the refund policy affects the app developers. If the comments are an accurate depiction [...]
I am allergic to budgeting. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. But every once in awhile I get the urge to try and “cure” my allergy so I decide to give budgeting a try again. Now that I’ve got my iPhone I’ve been searching for a magic app that’s going to suddenly make [...]
These are toys that will multiply in the middle of the night. You start off with two and before you know it they’ve taken over your house. Most of the figures don’t have moveable parts but that doesn’t seem to matter at all to my four year old son. These toys have been involved in [...]
Shopper is quickly becoming my favorite grocery shopping app. I like the fact that this app lets me easily move around the aisles on my list so that each store’s list becomes customized. I can create multiple lists for the stores I shop at. A household and grocery list at Costco. A craft project and [...]
Animal Guesses is a whole different type of app for your iPhone. It’s something called a “web app”. Have any of you heard of web apps before? I hadn’t but when I asked my husband he knew all about them. I’m wondering if I’ve been under a rock or if this is one of those [...]
Lately it’s been very nice to hear about free things and IconApps tells me that Giftster is now free. You can read my review of it HERE.
Kijiji brings you family friendly classified ads for your community, first on the internet with www.kijiji.com and now on your iPhone. It’s like Craigs List but without the creepy vibe. I asked the folks behind Kijiji how they kept the ads “safe”. They tell me they don’t allow any personal ads or ahem…”service” ads. They [...]
The folks at Kijiji recently asked a group of mom bloggers to submit their favorite apps for a “Top Ten Family-Friendly iPhone Apps” list. Guess who was in that group? Yep, the iPhone Mom herself! Click HERE to see the entire top ten list. Now here’s the great news for my readers. To go along [...]
I was in Barnes & Noble today and read an interesting sign. They’re offering a free Starbucks coffee from their cafe to anyone who’ll show them the Barnes & Noble app on their iPhone. The sign says the offer can be discontinued at any time so flash your iPhone for a freebie as soon as [...]
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.
