I purchased this last month for my kids’ bathtub. Our bath toys are a sorry collection and I finally went through and purged some of the sadder toys. We’ve been storing them in a plastic ice cream bucket for years and I was finally ready for a storage upgrade. Can you do anything but upgrade [...]

The Moms with Apps Group has begun sponsoring “App Friday” over at their website. It’s a link exchange that features family friendly apps and could be a great way to get some ideas for your iPhone/iPod Touch. They’d like to get as many contributors as possible so they’re asking visitors to tweet the weekly link [...]

FoodEssentials Scanner is the best app that I’ve seen for those suffering from food allergies and intolerances. It allows you to scan the barcode of a food product and it will then display all sorts of information about the food. You get your nutrient information (calories, fats, sodium, etc.) but you also get information about [...]

I’ve mentioned in the past (a few times) about the need for an iPhone wrist strap. Here’s another app that makes me hope my kids never use it when they’ve got sweaty palms. Goodbye phone. Jump Jump is aptly named because that’s what you’re going to be doing. You play the game by listening to [...]

Jack and the Box is a storybook app that’s done in comic book style. It really appealed to my son because he is very much into Calvin & Hobbes at the moment. The story revolves around Jack and a box that his parents give him. I’m not going to give away the story but it’s [...]

When you play the games you’ll work on identifying numbers, putting them in the correct order, counting up and counting down. The games are simple. Tap numbers on a number line in order going smallest to biggest and vice versa. Listen for a number [...]

Name Shake is a baby-name-finding app. It has over 19,000 different names and gives you plenty of ways to search for the perfect one. The app features a wheel with three parts – gender, ethnicity and alphabet letter. If you’re looking for some random inspiration then shake your iPhone and see what pops up. Or [...]

Nursing Notes is a very straightforward app for tracking your baby’s feedings.  You begin by entering baby’s name (you can track more than one if you’ve got twins, triplets…). Then it’s just a matter of tapping the plus sign to add a feeding, spinning a time wheel to set the time and then tapping left [...]

I’ve got four promo codes to give away for the How To Train Your Dragon storybook app I reviewed today. First four comments will get one. Also, the app’s price has been dropped to $.99 to celebrate the movie’s release. *Promo codes will only work in the US App Store.

How To Train Your Dragon is the storybook app version of the upcoming DreamWorks movie of the same name. The app features screenshots from the movie as illustrations and they’re beautifully done. From what I saw in the app the movie’s animation is going to be great. To be honest I’ve not been that interested [...]
