iBowl

iBowl is really simple. You start it up, choose play, pick your bowling alley and then bowl away. Tap arrows to line your ball up. Then swing your iPhone back and then forward, just like you’re bowling. A note – you really, really have to trust your child before letting them use this app. Unlike [...]

 

Burning Tires Lite

This is the game that I find my four year old playing most often on my iPhone. Burning Tires Lite is a lite version of the full Burning Tires racing game. As far as I can tell you get two race tracks and one car in the lite version. It’s more than enough to keep [...]

 

Super Monkey Ball Lite

Super Monkey Ball was one of the best games for the Nintendo Game Cube. It was a sad day in our house when the disc became so scratched it no longer worked. We tried the wii version but it just didn’t seem the same. I’ve wanted to try the Super Monkey Ball app for the [...]

Yahtzee

Yahtzee has come to the iPhone – hooray! This is another great game to play when you’ve got some time to kill. I like to play in the car when I’m sitting somewhere waiting for my kiddos. You can play in Adventure or regular game mode. Adventure has you playing against characters and you’re on [...]

 

Chicktionary

I absolutely love, love, love this game. It is adorable, fun, smart, easy to play and addicting. What more could you want from an iPhone game? You have a row of seven chickens and they have letters on their tummies. The goal is to see how many words you can make out of the letters. [...]

 

Dots Free

This it the iPhone version of the paper/pencil game where you draw a grid of dots and then connect the dots, one line at a time, making squares.  The last person to draw the line that makes a square gets to claim a point. You keep playing until you’ve made all the squares that you [...]

Wurdle

Wurdle is a fabulous little game. The best way I can describe it is that it’s similar to Boggle. You have a group of letters and your job is to connect them and make words. You do this by touching a letter and then “drawing” a line with your finger to the other letters you [...]

 

Tic Tac Toe Free

Simple Tic Tac Toe Game that the kids love playing. It lets you enter the names of players and then keeps track of your scores at the bottom of the screen. So, so simple yet it keeps the kids entertained for hours.   Seller: Optime Software Price when Reviewed: Free Click here to see the [...]

 

Scrabble

This is a decent game and my complaints about it having nothing to do with the game itself, just my ability to play it. I really like the interface and it’s easy to learn. When it’s your turn you drag and drop tiles onto the game board to spell your words. Simple. You can zoom [...]

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.
