Aneurysm

Aneurysm is easy to play. There’s a glowing blue orb on the screen. Move it around and try to avoid the other colored orbs that start shooting around. If you are hit then you  have the option to move the game back a few seconds in time. My only problem with this game was that [...]

Play Marbles

I’m constantly amazed at what can be done with an app. With the right idea a  developer can create a terrific experience using graphics, sound effects and special features. Play Marbles is one of those apps. It has amazing graphics and the game play makes good use of the accelerometer in the iPhone. You can [...]

 

Kids Play: Construction

Kids Play: Construction sets your child loose on a construction scene. There’s a dump truck that they can drive by tapping on it and then tilting the iPhone. Tilt the phone too far and the dump truck will even end up upside down.  Tap the screen to create blocks and boulders. Tap on these and [...]

Ten Thousand (a game of Farkle)

Ten Thousand is a great dice game. The object is to roll the dice and score points. The winner is the first to score 10,000 points. It’s a simple game to learn. There’s no explanation of the rules within the app now but it appears the next version will have them. For now you can [...]

 

CardStar

The idea behind CardStar is for you to keep all of your store and membership card information on your iPhone so they’re not cluttering up your wallet. Instead of spending time hunting for them at the checkout you open up CardStar, select the appropriate card and scan the barcode directly from your iPhone. Ok, this [...]

 

What R U Eating?

Let me begin by saying that I’m not nearly as health conscious with food choices as I should be. I think I’ve eaten enough preservatives to guarantee myself a very long shelf life should the need arise. Most of the time I don’t  read that fine print but there was a time when my son [...]

Old MacDonald by Duck Duck Moose

There are some seriously talented people over at Duck Duck Moose. These are the developers behind the Wheels on the Bus app (that we love at our house) and they’ve done it again with Old MacDonald. The concept of the app is the same. You hear the song and there are pictures to go along [...]

 

Send Multiple Photos from your iPhone

When I upgraded to the new iPhone OS3 I heard that you’d be able to email multiple photos. I was excited. Then I tried to do it and couldn’t figure out how to do it. So the next time I wanted to email out some photos I tried to do it and couldn’t figure  it [...]

 

Snaggle Find

The Snaggle Find app was designed by a group of parents who were inspired by their kids. The idea behind the app is to go on a photographic scavenger hunt with your iPhone. The app provides you with hunts that you can complete and you can also create your own original hunt to share with [...]

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. [...]

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.
