C is for Cow is a new app from Modern Eden. They are the company behind Speak Piggy!, an app that I reviewed in July. C is for Cow has a design that is similar to Speak Piggy!. I like how the pictures look like they have been cut from wood. C is for Cow [...]
In July I reviewed the app Kezza bee Farm Adventures and now just about a month later the adorable bee is back with a brand new game. This time the app is called Kezza bee PeekaBoo 3D and unlike the first app this one isn’t presented as a story. This is a game and it’s [...]
Hide & Seek HD is a cute version of the classic game of the same name. For the record I must admit that I’m biased towards virtual Hide & Seek games. The real version has been banned from our house although my kids still continually ask to play it. Just gives me practice saying no. [...]
My Silly Sounds Farm app has given me the best case of giggles that I’ve had in a long, long time. Let me explain why. When I receive promo codes I usually put the apps on my iPhone or iPad right away, even though I might not get a chance to use the app for [...]
Interactive Alphabet is a wonderfully enjoyable flash card app for toddlers and preschoolers. I truly enjoyed testing this one out. The app begins with a screen that is filled with alphabet letters. They are bright and colorful and look so inviting you just can’t wait to tap a letter. So you do and are rewarded [...]
I was recently contacted and asked to review the new Pull-Ups sponsored app, iGo Potty. I’m no potty training expert and my three experiences were all different. I think the only thing I can claim to have learned is that my kids have to do it on their own terms. You can lead my child [...]
The Wellness Institute at the Cleveland Clinic has created an app that brings stress meditations to the iPhone. The app offers eight different meditation techniques. They are: Body Scan Relaxation, Mindfulness, Loving Kindness, Self-Confidence, Letting Go, A Calm Mind and Miracle Around Us. Based on the titles alone I can tell you that I could [...]
I’m all for educational apps for my children but I like to keep things fun by having games available too. Each of my children like different types of games. I have a daughter who loves word games, another who is addicted to the Dash type apps (Diner Dash, Wedding Dash). My son likes games that [...]
Hooray!! I’ve been given three promo codes to give away for Shakespeare in Bits: Romeo & Juliet. If you have a student who could use a little help with the bard this year please leave me a comment and let me know your favorite Shakespearean work. Mine is Macbeth for many reasons, not the least [...]
Jumbled is a new app from Drew, a fourteen year old app developer who is behind several other iPhone apps. Drew has created a word game that’s definitely unique and unlike any other I’ve seen. To solve a Jumbled puzzle you must do two things. The first is to unscramble a string of letters, forming [...]
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.
