Dolphin Experience turns your iPhone into aquatic entertainment. You choose from three water environments and four different times of day. Next you’ll have dolphins on your screen and it’s up to you what you want to do with them. Do you feed them? Have them do tricks? Snorkel under the water with them? The dolphins [...]
My kids absolutely love pet pictures. Anything cute and cuddly gets plenty of oooohs and ahhhs. If the pet is wearing clothes or in a bed of flowers the response will be even more enthusiastic. I’m guessing this isn’t something unique to my children because there is an entire app devoted to pet pictures. It’s [...]
Confession time. I’m not a big fan of Chinese food. However I am a big fan of fortune cookies. Love their flavor and those inspiring messages. Ok, another confession. Some inspire me and others just give me the giggles. So the LuckyFortune app is the best of both worlds for me. Fortune cookies without [...]
How many of you out there are on Facebook? I am and I think it’s a nice way to kill time and stay in touch with folks. I’ve reconnected with old friends from college and high school, even elementary school. I’ve also found a way to keep tabs on my siblings even though we’re spread [...]
Facehack is a brand new app that lets you create unique profile pictures for your Facebook account. It’s simple to use – take a picture with your iPhone or choose one from your camera roll. Now resize it, rotate it, get it exactly how you want it. The next step is to use your finger [...]
The idea behind Kaloki Love is to build a space station that will impress the intergalactic ladies so you can find true love. Apparently it’s a take on another iPhone app, Kaloki Adventure. Now let me start my review with a disclaimer. I am not a gamer. I have been known to play Lego Star [...]
Chippy is a chipmunk who’s trying to rid the world of bubbles. Yes, bubbles. Tilt your iPhone from side to side to get Chippy to move under a bubble. Tap the screen and he’ll shoot the bubble. But it’s not over. The bubble splits into smaller bubbles and now you’ve got to get Chippy in [...]
I tried this app and quickly knew that I had to ask my kids to do the testing because it’s obviously geared towards them. As a mom who hates loud toys and has a fairly low tolerance for wackiness I knew I wouldn’t give Wacky Safari a fair shake. So I called in my little [...]
There are some very funny jokes in the 18000 Cool Jokes app. But moms with kids that can read should be warned – there are some dirty jokes too. In fact there is a whole category of jokes called “dirty”. As I was using the app, and chuckling to myself, I was thinking it’s too [...]
I found iColoring Book Lite to be confusing. My four year old uses it and seems to enjoy it well enough but when I play around with it I just don’t get it. You start by choosing a coloring page. It’s probably not saying much but I have trouble getting the pages to open up. [...]
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.
