Charles Peattie’s Animal Alphabet features a different animal for each letter in the alphabet. The app has three different parts, here’s a rundown on each one. ABC Animals – This presents animated animal cartoons for each letter of the alphabet. The animations are funny and you’ll want to keep your eyes on the screen. You’ll [...]
Josh & Emma Go To the Beach is a storybook app for the iPad. After testing it I think it’s best for two to three year olds. The app tells the story of Josh & Emma’s fun day at the beach. They are only on screen twice but they make up for that with their [...]
My girls would have loved this app when they were younger and into princess costumes and dress up shoes. Sadly they have outgrown that phase but I’m sure Baby J will be obsessed with princessy things before we know it. If she does become a princess fan there’s no doubt she’d adore the app My [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I hadn’t gotten a chance to try out the iPad app Maggie and the Trouble of Monkeys so I asked my eight year old daughter to give it a try first. I was in the other room while she was reading the story and I kept hearing her giggling to herself. I figured the app [...]
Duck Duck Moose recently released an HD iPad version of their app Itsy Bitsy Spider. This was not my favorite of Duck Duck Moose’s iPhone apps but I love it on the iPad. It felt busy to me on the iPhone screen but everything works very well on the larger iPad. To move through the [...]
Chalk Walk is a very unique iPad app. It has been developed to help your children improve the pincer grip they use to hold a pencil.
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.
