Scrabble

January 20, 2009

IMG_0014 This is a decent game and my complaints about it having nothing to do with the game itself, just my ability to play it. I really like the interface and it’s easy to learn. When it’s your turn you drag and drop tiles onto the game board to spell your words. Simple. You can zoom in and out on the game board to make it easier to see the tiles and squares.

My biggest complaint about Scrabble is that it’s too hard. Take that with a grain of salt as it’s coming from someone who’s children are daily sucking away my intelligence. My brain doesn’t do big words anymore and I wish you could adjust the level of difficulty. Sometimes when I play I feel like my opponent is a college professor and he’s wondering who I think I’m kidding. What can I say? I’m used to playing against my kids who spell everything phonetically. There’s a multi-player option that lets you play against someone who also has the game and is on your wireless network. I haven’t tried it yet but maybe we can load Scrabble onto my husband’s phone then I can ask the 4 year old to play and my self-esteem get a boost.

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.
