1 to 25 was sent to me and when I first opened it up I thought oh no, it’s a math puzzle. Prejudice on my part to assume that just because a puzzle involves numbers it’s also going to involve math. Math and I don’t get along very well. At all. But I decided to [...]
I Can Garden is geared towards children as young as 18 months. The premise is simple. Touch the screen to make sparkly, jeweled flowers grow. You can grow big flowers, small flowers or medium flowers – it’s up to you. Once you’ve got some flowers growing a bee is going to show up. If you [...]
Have you got a little boy in your house? If so, you should take a look at the apps offered by PicPocket Books. Some of the titles include Big Rigs, Dinosaurs, Monster Trucks, Rescue Vehicles and the one I tried out – Giant Earthmovers. These are book apps that have bright, colorful photos with a [...]
Chippy is a chipmunk who’s trying to rid the world of bubbles. Yes, bubbles. Tilt your iPhone from side to side to get Chippy to move under a bubble. Tap the screen and he’ll shoot the bubble. But it’s not over. The bubble splits into smaller bubbles and now you’ve got to get Chippy in [...]
If you’re a mom who’ll be taking an exotic vacation this summer then you should check out the free Translator app. The app asks you to first choose a source language (that’d be English for me) and then choose a target language (I chose Finnish, just because). Now type in what you’d like translated and [...]
I tried this app and quickly knew that I had to ask my kids to do the testing because it’s obviously geared towards them. As a mom who hates loud toys and has a fairly low tolerance for wackiness I knew I wouldn’t give Wacky Safari a fair shake. So I called in my little [...]
I have a problem remembering passwords. If it’s a password for a login I use all the time then I’m usually okay. But with occasional logins I set them up and then inevitably the next time I go to login I cannot for the life of me remember my password. So I reset it. Then [...]

Two more memory games from the team at Juicebox Software. They’re the folks behind the Animal Coloring Book and Animal Memory Game apps. Visit my review of Animal Memory to read my summary of how it works because Fruits & Vegetables and Sweets & Treats works in the very same way. Each game has theme [...]
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.
