Has Brian Tong been a fly on the wall in my house? Because this video sure is timely. We’ve got a little boy with a birthday coming up. He’s been reminding us for awhile that his sisters both have an iPod and a Nintendo DS and he has neither. Subtlety is not really a strong [...]

Don’t be scared off by the price of eWallet and don’t think you’re getting a simple information storage app either. I was floored by how much detail is in this app. First off, I’m a sucker for clean design and smart looking apps. eWallet is one of those. You set up your wallet and then [...]

A reader tipped me off to this list – The Top 5 Apps for Back to School – featured on the Mobclix blog. I haven’t tried any of them as they seem geared towards older kids and mine are still  in Elementary School but I think the graphing calculator app sounds awesome. Anything to avoid [...]

The folks over at www.anusen.com have been very busy coming up with Math apps! Think Big is yet another title that they’ve developed. This app displays a screen full of numbers.

Here’s how it works. The first time you use Keep It Playing it walks [...]

I like the Word Magic app. On the screen you’ll see a picture, underneath is it’s name but with a missing letter. There will be four letter buttons on the screen. Your child needs to tap the correct letter to fill in the blank.  Simple enough but you can tweak the app to better suit [...]

Match ‘em Up Math asks your child to look at a math problem and then draw a line to the correct answer on the other side of the screen. If they get the answer right the line will stay in place. If they choose the wrong answer the iPhone will vibrate and the line disappears. [...]

Math Series wasn’t my favorite Math app from www.anusen.com. The app shows you a series of numbers with one number missing. Underneath will be four numbers and your child should tap the one that goes in the missing blank. If you tap the information button you can customize the number series that you see. You [...]
