I’ve got ten easy tweaks that I’ve done to make my iPhone work for me and my mom life. Today I’m going to list the first five. 1. I got rid of the “Sent from my iPhone” message that shows up by default at the end of every email sent out from the iPhone. Did [...]

 

We Take On Lego Rock Band

The family and I have been earning Lego studs right and left as we try out the first Rock Band game I’ve dared bring in the house. Read how it’s gone.

 

Whirl’d

  Whirl’d has been on my iPhone for a little over a week and my son’s been playing it every time he “borrows” my phone. He’s been telling me how much he likes it and that he’s one this level or that and as I’ve been listening to him I’ve thought if the five year [...]

 

Lego Rock Band

  A while ago I posted about how excited I was to see the Lego video game folks joining forces with the Rock Band empire. We’ve never brought Rock Band or Guitar Hero into the house because I’m not a big fan of the avatars and the lyrics in many of the songs weren’t great [...]

Itsy Bitsy Spider by iMagine Machine

This Itsy Bitsy Spider is described as a “musical coloring book”. As stated, it combines two kid favorites – music and coloring. The app shows a great big coloring page illustrating Itsy Bitsy’s adventures (or misadventures I suppose). Your child can tap anywhere on the coloring page and the app will zoom into that section [...]

 

Kero the Frog

Do you have a little boy in your house? If so then this app is for them. Kero is a frog who’s just floating along the river on a log. But he’s a hungry frog and he needs to eat. Lucky for Kero there are plenty of flies buzzing around. Your job is to tap [...]

Here is an intriguing app. StoryBoy is an ebook reader for kids. It’s like a mini Kindle of sorts. You download the app and then from within it you can go to the StoryBoy online store and purchase additional stories to read.  Right now there are two stories that are included in the original app [...]

Gossip Junkie

Every once in awhile I like to pretend I’m in touch with what’s going on in pop culture. That I’m hip to the peeps in the news. Word. I can’t stomach too much though…just enough to know what’s going on with Robsten but not enough that I feel like I need to go read Shakespeare [...]

 

iMoticon

Here’s another app from Drew. Drew is the 14 year old developer behind the app X-Ball. He’s just come out with another app called iMoticon. iMoticon lets you turn your iPhone screen into a giant emoticon so you can let everyone know how you’re feeling. You can change the color of the emoticon and the [...]

 

AllRecipes.com Dinner Spinner

Here’s another app that has the potential to spice up mealtime at the iPhone mom’s house. (Tacos are getting a little bit redundant.) AllRecipes.com’s Dinner Spinner is easy to use and you can search for recipes by using either the “dinner spinner” or a more traditional search. When you use the dinner spinner feature you [...]

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.
