Cooking Mama Lite

I really, really wanted to like this app. And I do, to a certain degree. I like that it brings Cooking Mama (a fantastic Nintendo game, we have the wii version) to my iPhone.  You’re still chopping and mixing like you do in the original game but it’s been adapted for the iPhone. Now you tap, slide your finger, shake your phone, that sort of thing. It is fun BUT the Lite version only gives you one recipe. That seems a bit skimpy to me, even for a Lite app version.

From what I’ve read of the reviews at the iTunes store, the full version is limited in it’s number of recipes as well. I’ve got nothing against the game play itself. I enjoyed it and I know my kids would be thrilled to see this one show up on my iPhone. My quibble comes down to what you get for your dollar and right now it’s not enough for me to download the full version unless more recipes show up or the price drops.

Individual Text Tones for Contacts

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.

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.
