The My Numbers app gives your iPad the look of an electronic child’s toy. The middle of the screen looks like a Lite Brite that has ten images on it. Around the side of the screen are buttons with the numbers 1-10 on them. Underneath the screen are three more buttons. One has a bird, [...]

The iPhone app Color Me has been updated and turned into an HD app for the iPad. The basics are all there but I discovered one great improvement. On the iPad you can color in the picture with a thin paintbrush, a thick one or a paint bucket. The brushes let you paint free handed [...]

Last week I received an email from Duck Duck Moose letting me know they’d just released their first iPad app. My internal response was a combination of “Goody!” and “Hooray!” and “I’ll bet it looks fantastic!” because their past apps have been wonderful and a big hit at our house.

Here is a storybook app, designed just for the iPad and in 3D too! The Wrong Side of the Bed tells of a little boy named Mott who finds himself getting up on the wrong side of the bed one morning. We get up on that side every morning but we’ve never been lucky enough [...]
