TickleTap give away is almost over….

Where did February go? Just a reminder that with the end of the month it’s just almost time for the end of TickleTap Apps iPod Touch contest.

 

123 Color

I’ve seen coloring book apps that are good and coloring books that are, well, bad. Ones that are so complicated you’d need to be a rocket scientist to color a picture of a rocket (ok, exaggeration) and some that are so simple your kids will be bored from the get go. 123 Color is different.

The Pill

Gentlemen readers, stop now, this review is especially written for my readers who are of the female variety. Read on if you must, but don’t blame me if you suffer a case of TMI. Disclaimer over. Now ladies – The Pill is an app that’s designed to help you remember to take your birth controls [...]

 

GroceryList-The Fastest Way To Make Your Grocery List

When Keith, the developer of GroceryList, contacted me about his app he’d already read my thoughts on the other grocery list apps that I’ve tried. He told me right up front that it didn’t have many of the features I’m looking for (multiple lists, syncing with another user, price information) but he also told me [...]

BalloonMaker

If my baby’s fingers weren’t a slobbery, sticky mess from teething I’d show her BalloonMaker. It’s brightly colored and simplistic and I think she’d be intrigued. So much so that she’d be reaching for the phone even more than she already does. Which I can’t have given the state of her fingers. Death by slobber [...]

Emily’s Girl Talk

Emily’s Girl Talk is a collection of games, some of which I played when I was (much) younger. It includes MASH, The Lemon Game, Cootie Catcher and Love. Back in the day I played them with paper and pencil but things have come a long way. Since my girls are the perfect age for this [...]

Erika Goes Green Giveaway

I’ve had kids with colds since last week and the germs finally caught up with me on Sunday. I turned to Benadryl for some relief and I should never write reviews when I’m under the influence of Benadryl. Because it turns out I forgot that I’ve got 5 promo codes to giveaway for the app [...]

 

Build a Brag Book Story

Build a Brag Book Story is an interesting app. It takes a photo of your baby and their personal details and puts them into a story. You start by adding in your child’s photo (take a picture or use one from camera roll/library). Then you’ll go through a series of questions ranging from your child’s [...]

 

Noteworthy Places

     Noteworthy Places is an app that I could really use. When you are out and about and you discover a place that you’d like to remember you use this app to mark it down. The app notes the location’s address and it’s place on a map. You can add in comments, a phone number, [...]

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.
