Millie the dog is back in an adorable app for Halloween. Children can “knock” on the doors in Millie’s neighborhood to find a treat or maybe a trick. Every page has a mystery scratch off, similar to the ones found in the Millie books. There are 40+ videos of Millie in action and virtual stickers [...]
I have a sudden urge to go raid the gummy bear bag in our pantry after playing around with the Candy Count app. Why? This colorful iPad app uses candy to teach sorting skills, colors, counting, number order and the concept of comparing quantities. Candy Count is a free download and it comes with one [...]

Bloki will be on sale through January 1st for $.99. My middle children are having a great time building things with this app and it’s a great deal at this price.
123 POP could double as Math skills practice and a speed game. Here’s how it works. Select your level of difficulty between easy, normal and hard. Now begin to play. Numbers (between 1 and 10) are floating around in bubbles, above water. They go up, down and bounce off each other. You must tap two [...]

Now it’s undergone another transformation and become an app. The Staraoke app asks you to guide a cartoon character along a path, collecting points as [...]
My 9 year old daughter told me about an iOS 5 feature that I was totally unaware of until last week. Miss S. showed me how to set up individual text tones for my contacts.
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.
