Frogs and Fireflies

I don’t like frogs. Their color, their skin texture, their eating habits – all a little creepy I think. I even had a tough time watching the frogs in the Princess and the Frog movie. It was something about the way they would walk on two legs that bothered me. If I ever met a [...]

 

The Word Chase

The Word Chase is an easy to learn game that lets you play with words. The game gives you three different words and several letters in a column on the side of the screen. You need to take one letter from the column and use it to replace a letter in a word, which then [...]

Super Why! for iPad

A few weeks ago I reviewed the PBS Kids Super Why! app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. It’s been released again in iPad format. If you already own the iPhone app you can put that version on your iPad and it will work. You can play it at normal iPhone size (it’ll be in the middle [...]

The Well

When I heard the idea behind this game I was intrigued. The Well takes music off your iPod and creates a 3D maze (that’s the best way I can describe it) for you to navigate. As the music plays a box falls down the screen. You need to tap on the screen to steer the [...]

 

Dress Eggy

I haven’t tried this one out yet but it’s free through tomorrow (4/1/10). Decorating Easter eggs is my least favorite holiday tradition because it always ends in a dye spill.  Dress Eggy lets you decorate eggs without the mess in your kitchen. Maybe I should quit boiling my eggs now…. Price when Reviewed: FREE through [...]

Alien Equation

Alien Equation is a math app that really works your brain. Once I figured out how to play it I actually enjoyed it (math, me??) but it took me a little bit to realize what I was supposed to do. I like this app but if I’ve got one suggestion it’s to include some instructions [...]

 

Jump Jump

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 [...]

 

Disclosure

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. [...]

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.
