I had an email from my brother asking me to review Touch Physics Lite and I’ll bet he was smiling when he sent it over. Send the big sister who has kids that are rapidly destroying her brain cells an app suggestion with “Physics” in the title. I will admit that this app challenged me. [...]
I had an email tipping me off to this app. Psyclops Dance Mixer is an app that lets you create a unique music video. You pick a dancer then mix your music. There’s a wide variety of music to choose from. Next you make a timeline of different dance moves and backgrounds. When you’re done [...]
Yet another app that makes me wonder why someone doesn’t invent a wrist strap for the iPhone. Lightsaber Unleashed turns your iPhone into a lightsaber. When you swing your phone around (again, wriststrap anyone??) your lightsaber changes and your iPhone makes cool lightsaber-y noises. You can also play classic music from the Star Wars movies. [...]
Wheels on the Bus is a very clever, very entertaining app for kids. Each screen shows a different part of the song, "The Wheels on the Bus". Touch the arrows on the bottom right and left of the screen to move forward or backward in the song. Touch the screen and slide your finger around [...]
The I See Ewe app helps your preschooler learn some basic skills. It’s an easy to use app and my guy seems to really enjoy it. My only problem with it is the title. I know it’s meant to be clever, but to me "Ewe" sounds too much like "Ewww" and I See Ewe is [...]
I’ve mentioned before that I have trouble in the math department. Unfortunately this genetic trait has been passed on to one of my girls. Math doesn’t come easily for either of us. Luckily for me I’m at a point in life where math can be done on calculator. My poor girl’s still in school and [...]
iBowl is really simple. You start it up, choose play, pick your bowling alley and then bowl away. Tap arrows to line your ball up. Then swing your iPhone back and then forward, just like you’re bowling. A note – you really, really have to trust your child before letting them use this app. Unlike [...]
This is the game that I find my four year old playing most often on my iPhone. Burning Tires Lite is a lite version of the full Burning Tires racing game. As far as I can tell you get two race tracks and one car in the lite version. It’s more than enough to keep [...]
Super Monkey Ball was one of the best games for the Nintendo Game Cube. It was a sad day in our house when the disc became so scratched it no longer worked. We tried the wii version but it just didn’t seem the same. I’ve wanted to try the Super Monkey Ball app for the [...]
Yahtzee has come to the iPhone – hooray! This is another great game to play when you’ve got some time to kill. I like to play in the car when I’m sitting somewhere waiting for my kiddos. You can play in Adventure or regular game mode. Adventure has you playing against characters and you’re on [...]
Chalk Walk is a very unique iPad app. It has been developed to help your children improve the pincer grip they use to hold a pencil.
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. Shortly after the iPhone 4S hit the market a bug was discovered that severely impacted battery life on those new devices. [...]
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.
