ME911 describes itself as a “family safety and security app for on-the-go moms and dads”. The app works as a safe, central storage location for several different types of information. First there is the medical and emergency information. You can create emergency profiles for family members and record health, medication and allergy information. A vaccination [...]
A quick blurb about an app that sounds intriguing – BabySeatMate was developed for using the iPhone to measure the angle you’ve installed your baby car seat. Once it has measured the angle it will tell you if you’ve installed the seat correctly or if you need to make some adjustments. The app works with [...]
In the past I’ve reviewed a few apps that I hope to never have to use, the ones that are designed for use in an emergency situation. Silent Bodyguard is one of those apps. It works as a “silent panic button” and will send out your location via text message and email if you activate [...]
I mentioned a couple weeks ago that the ICE4me app had gone pink in support of breast cancer research. They’ve done the same thing with their family version, ICE4family. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this special version will be donated. Here are my thoughts on the pink ICE4me app. And my [...]
Mobicip provides a “safe browser” alternative to Safari. It’s a way to restrict what your children are allowed to access online using an iPhone or iPod Touch. I found it to be a fabulous product. There are two versions of Mobicip, standard and premium. I’ve tried both and will give you a quick run down. [...]
ICE4me was created by the maker of smartICE 4 Family and smart-ICE. The only real difference between ICE4me and the original EMS Alert app, which turned into smart-ICE, is the pink color. This is an app that stores all of your key personal information, medical information, emergency contacts, etc. Everything that you’d want someone to [...]
I put the Merck Manual: Home Edition on my iPhone and as I was reading through it I began to wonder why my iPhone didn’t suddenly weigh fifty pounds! This app has soooooo much information in it that I just envision the book version being of a very impressive size. I’m constantly using Google for [...]
Code Mobile brings missing person reports and Amber Alerts to your iPhone. It uses “Push” notification so you can receive updates even when the app itself isn’t open. If you are in an area where an Amber Alert is issued you will be notified on your phone. You can also view alerts for the U.S. [...]
Three months ago I reviewed the app EMS alert which is now known as Smart-ICE. It was designed by an EMS director with years of experience and it shows in the app. The app is designed to store all of your “in case of emergency” information on your iPhone. Now comes smart-ICE4family. The concept is [...]
The EMS Alert app has undergone a name and icon change. They’ve partnered up with www.ice4safety.com and will be using the ICE (In Case of Emergency) icon and will now be known as “smart-ICE”. The ICE icon will make the app easy for emergency personnel to recognize. Go HERE to read my review of the [...]
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.
