Glow Coloring lets you draw and doodle on a black screen using neon colors. There are two features I really liked in this app. -Brushes – The app lets you select a “brush” to color with. There is a flower, cactus, snow flake and more. If you choose a brush and then tap your finger [...]
My “mom brain” got the best of me last week. I remembered to feed all the kids, did the laundry, sort of cleaned the house and didn’t leave anyone at soccer practice but I forgot a few other things along the way. One of those was the fact that I have three promo codes to [...]
I reviewed Serving Sizer Recipe Converter back in November, 2009. It’s a great way to convert the amounts of recipe ingredients if you’re making the recipe larger, or smaller. Now comes Serving Sizer Pro and it takes the recipe conversion one step further. In this app you can enter in your own recipes, apply the [...]
Disclosure is a word puzzle app. It’s sort of like Wheel of Fortune but without the wheel. And Vanna. The game comes in four different editions – Classic, Kids, Our World and Art. Each edition has different categories. You select one to begin and are given a title, phrase, word…something that you have to guess. [...]
My Little Suitcase lets your child pretend to pack a suitcase and pretend to take a trip camping, to the beach, a sleepover or a play date in the snow. They’re given a suitcase and four choices of what to pack. For example they’re shown four pairs of socks and they can drag one into [...]
TickleMe Animals was developed by SID On, the developers who also created ShowMe Stories. In that app you would swipe your finger across the screen to reveal scenes from stories. TickleMe Animals works the same way except this time your finger swipes will clear the screen to reveal different animals. The pictures are of real [...]
I really, really like Moodagent! It takes the music on your iPod and syncs it with the special profiles they have online. Each song gets a profile that’s been created using technical magic. They’re based on things like beat, style, vocals, instruments, and more. Now comes the fun part. The app features four sliding bars, [...]
Bdays has a very slick look about it. If you’ve entered birthdays into your iPhone’s contacts then the app will pull them in and you’ll have the information in an easy to view format. The app displays the birthdays over four screens – today, tomorrow, next 5 days and this month. Your contact’s photo is [...]
iCanMoo takes the idea of using an app to teach animal noises and gives it a twist – real live animals! No cartoons here, this app features actual factual animals. It’s divided into four different games: Tap & Learn – Nine animal pictures are shown on the screen. Tap on one to hear the animal’s [...]
Numbl is all about taking a screen full of jumbled numbers and getting them to add up. Your given a sum and you need to tap the numbers on the screen that add up to it. You can use one number or two, three…however many it takes. As you use up numbers they disappear off [...]
My 9 year old daughter told me about an iOS 5 feature that I was totally unaware of until last week. Miss S. showed me how to set up individual text tones for my contacts.
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.
