Sophia Wants to Be…a Painter is another storybook app from iOrbi – they are behind the Buddy the Bus apps. It’s got a completely different look from the Buddy stories. This one features simple illustrations that follow Sophia on a class trip to the art museum. The app gives you the ability to record your [...]
I don’t know how it is in your house but here at the casa de iPhone mom my kids go through phases. One minute they’re into My Little Pony the next it’s Polly Pockets. With my son we’ve cycled from things with wheels to Hot Wheels to Star Wars to Batman…you get the idea. If [...]
This is an adorable ABC flashcard app from the same folks behind the Little Lala app. I absolutely loved the illustrations for this app. You can tap play and the flashcards will scroll through the entire alphabet. On each screen you’ll see a letter, picture and word. The narrator says the letter, makes the letter’s [...]
Little Lala is a sweet storybook app about a girl who travels around the world, meeting friends and collecting exotic food dishes. The app itself is simple and the illustrations are sweet. I enjoyed the message behind the story. My one suggestion would be to enlarge the illustrations to full screen. I ended up flipping [...]
It seems like both Apple and iTunes get a lot of bad press for some of their policies so I thought I’d share a positive experience that I had with iTunes today. This past weekend my husband revamped my computer and installed a new version of Windows for me – goodbye Vista!! He asked me [...]
Here’s another great “How To” from Matt Tong over at cnet TV. He’s a great resource and is always such a snappy dresser in his videos. I’ve been able to share apps with my husband before but the way we did it was messy. Matt’s version is much cleaner and involves dragging and dropping, emailing [...]
Can I just say how very cool Doodle Games is? It’s quirky and charming and I know my second and fifth grader are going to have a hard time putting it down. The app is a collection of paper and pencil games for your iPhone. The graphics are hand drawn and the text [...]
The idea behind Kaloki Love is to build a space station that will impress the intergalactic ladies so you can find true love. Apparently it’s a take on another iPhone app, Kaloki Adventure. Now let me start my review with a disclaimer. I am not a gamer. I have been known to play Lego Star [...]
Here’s a story about an app from AppsFire that would let you email out links to your favorite apps – from your iPhone. It also sounds like they’ve implemented ways to research apps as well. Best of all, it’s going to be free. Share apps by mobile e-mail

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.
