* My apologies to anyone trying to read this review earlier in the week. I’m not sure what happened to the original post but most of it disappeared. Here goes another attempt.* Betty Crocker + my iPhone = pure awesomeness. I love this app!!! If you are responsible for feeding anyone you need to check [...]
Thank You Gift List isn’t a gift tracking app but one that tracks your thank you notes instead. When my kids receive gifts I usually write them all down on a piece of paper, then hope that I’ll remember where I put the paper when it’s time to ask (forcefully remind) them to write their [...]
Whoa – the minute you open this app you’re going to realize you need to visit the help section first. There’s a lot to this Gift List that you’ll want to read up on before you start. You’ll find a great tutorial if you touch the “i” button. There’s so much to this app that [...]
The Gift Manager app is an easy one to maneuver through and update. To add someone to your list you simply touch the edit button at the top right of your screen. From here you can scroll down to each category and touch the green plus button to add someone to that group. The preset [...]
Gift Guru is a free app that helps you keep track of special occasions and who you need to buy gifts for. You can enter your own “recipients” or import them from your iPhone contact list. For a free app, Gift Guru had a surprising amount of layers to it. It seemed like as I [...]
ManGo is an app that helps you find locations for stores, restaurants, banks, etc. It’s easy to use and has a couple features that I really liked. If you touch the "Feature" button at the bottom of the screen you’ll see some ManGo picks. I don’t think you can go wrong with a list that [...]
Last week I updated my Grocery Zen app and it appears they have fixed my biggest complaint! Now when you delete an item from the master list it stays deleted. No more reappearances. I can get rid of anchovies and clams for once and for all. For my first review on Grocery Zen click on [...]
Illness Tracker is a perfect app for a mom’s iPhone. It lets you keep track of who’s been sick, how long they’ve been feeling icky, when you’ve taken them to the doctor and why, along with other illness information. The first thing you’ll want to do is touch the "People" button at the bottom of [...]
Maybe this has happened at your house. Or maybe it’s just me. You send a naughty child to “time out”. You intended to set the timer on your stove but get distracted by the other naughty children. Awhile later you realize the house is awfully quiet so you count heads and realize someone’s missing. Then [...]
If you are a shoe girl- Lucky is an app for you. I am not a shoe girl but I could still appreciate the cute and sassy shoes and the nifty service this app provides. You open it up and it shows you the March 2009 Shoe Guide. You can browse shoes by trend, brand [...]
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.
