Is Friday night your movie night? At our house we have a movie night about twice a year, it just isn’t a regular thing. This is mostly because my husband and I don’t have the same taste in films and it’s so expensive to buy tickets and pay for a babysitter for four children. My [...]
How many of you became first time iPad owners over the weekend? In no particular order here are the most used apps on our well loved iPad.
This is an unusual storybook app and one that will appeal to fans of the movie How to Train Your Dragon. This is a story but the screen is divided into three sections. On the left side of the screen is the story’s text and on the right side of the screen you’ll see a [...]
How To Train Your Dragon is the storybook app version of the upcoming DreamWorks movie of the same name. The app features screenshots from the movie as illustrations and they’re beautifully done. From what I saw in the app the movie’s animation is going to be great. To be honest I’ve not been that interested [...]
Have you ever visited the IMDb (Internet Movie Database) website? It’s my go-to place when I’m watching a show and I know that I’ve seen the actor somewhere before and it’s bugging me that I can’t figure it out. I’ve got so many other, more important things to worry about but there are times when [...]
I recently put the free Redbox and Southwest Airlines apps on my phone. So far, so good. The Redbox app lets you search for movies and then reserve them at a nearby Redbox. You will need to have a Redbox account to do this. You can also search for the Redbox that’s closest to your [...]
DidjaC? was developed by Movie Gallery/Hollywood video and it’s a feature used on their website. Now they’ve brought it to an iPhone app that can come with you to their video stores. The app features several buttons on the bottom of the screen. The “DVDs” button provides you with a list of newly released DVDs [...]
Netflix is pure genius. First they brought movies right to my mailbox and I no longer had to take my children to the creepy video store. Next they brought movies to my computer and I found I was able to watch all sorts of glorious BBC literary adaptations whenever I wanted to. Finally, almost [...]
I wasn’t one of the many, many people who saw the new “Where the Wild Things Are” movie this weekend. I’ve heard good things about it but I’m a bit nervous about seeing one of my favorite children’s books on the big screen. If I go see the movie then those are the images in [...]
If you’ve read my review of Flixter then you’ve already read almost everything I’m going to say about the Fandango app. I opened it up and could have sworn I was looking at the same app. It operates along the same lines giving you a list of movies that are showing in theaters near you. [...]
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.
