Howcast

The Howcast app is made up of “how to” videos that can also be found on www.howcast.com. I don’t have a problem with the idea behind the app but I do have a big problem with the adult content found in a large number of the videos. I could find no way to filter the apps by content or category. So a racy video might be mixed into the same list as a video explaining how to make french fries. Personally, I think I’d rather stick with a good old google search than take the chance that my kids will get into this app and learn “how to” about things I’d rather they not know. If the folks at Howcast can set up a parental control or a filter of some sort I might be willing to check this one out again, but for now, it’s off my phone.

WebMD Baby was released earlier this month and it is awesome! Seriously one of the best “baby” apps I’ve seen to date

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.
