My Silly Sounds Farm for iPad (also available for iPhone)

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 [...]

 

SoundExcuses

When I read SoundExcuses description I knew I had to try this app out. Here’s a snippet from the iTune’s description. “It’s frustrating when you’re on the phone and get interrupted but it’s just as frustrating when you’d do anything to get off a call and you can’t. Enter SoundExcuses. Need an excuse to hang [...]

 

Paranormal Agency

Paranormal Agency is a hidden picture game built into a story about a detective who can see things other people can’t. She’s a ghostbuster of sorts. I’m not a big fan of spooky but I do enjoy hidden picture games so I gave this one a try. The game has dialogue that explains the storyline [...]

 

Confetti

Confetti is a drawing app where the drawing stays on the screen only as long as your fingers do. Once you lift them up your drawing starts to shake and move until it’s off the screen. The app’s settings allow you to customize the gravity that affects the drawing – choose from settings between space, [...]

iMoo

iMoo is just plain old fashioned silly fun. It’s a modern version of the classic moo in a can toy. This was the can you could tilt back and forth to hear a mooing sound. iMoo does the same thing, tilt it and you’re rewarded with a nice moo. You can choose from nine different [...]

 

iSock- The Talking Sock!

Once in awhile I’m sent an app that just makes me giggle and wonder at how developers come up with (and then execute) these wonderful apps. iSock is one of those apps. How do I describe it? In a nutshell, it turns your iPhone into a sock puppet that moves when you move and talks [...]

 

The Book of Answers App

This app is purely for silly fun. The Book of Answers App works in a similar way to a Magic 8 Ball. You ask it a question and then it gives you an answer. With the Book of Answers you’ll thumb through the “pages” of the book and it will open to the page with [...]

iBrite-Paint and Draw a Lite Brite CLassic

As a child I liked playing with our Lite Brite  but I would usually run out of patience before I finished my picture. Too many pegs. Today my kids like playing with the Lite Brite but I still have a problem with those pegs- they are a pain to pick up out of the carpet. [...]

 

KiddyLight

KiddyLight is a silly and charming little app for children who have issues with the dark. I suppose it would also be good for adults with similar fears. The app turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a flashlight. Ordinary enough but then you swipe the screen and the screen changes which then changes the [...]

 

Gello Doodle

I bought Gello Doodle last week based on the sheer absurdity of it’s concept. How could I not be intrigued by an app that’s built around Jell-O? Actually the app is called Gello and I’m sure that’s because there would be legal trouble if they called it Jell-O. But Gello is like Jell-O and it [...]

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.
