MobiStories are storybook apps for your iPhone. There are MobiStories for all types of readers available at iTunes. I tried out two titles: Plane and All the Way to the Ocean. Plane is geared towards the board book reading set. All the Way to the Ocean is for independent readers.

The illustrations were well done and there is music and sound effects that accompany the story. I liked the way the app appears to “turn the pages” for you, just like you’d turn them with a real book. As the story plays you hear it read aloud while also seeing the words on the screen.  The story is narrated in different voices which helps spice things up.

Something to note – there is a MobiStories podcast available on iTunes. The podcasts are audio only, some are short demos and some are complete stories but all are free.

Price when Reviewed: $2.99

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.
