Once in awhile I’m sent an app that just makes me giggle and wonder at how developers come up with (and then execute) these wonderful apps. iSock is one of those apps. How do I describe it? In a nutshell, it turns your iPhone into a sock puppet that moves when you move and talks [...]
This app is purely for silly fun. The Book of Answers App works in a similar way to a Magic 8 Ball. You ask it a question and then it gives you an answer. With the Book of Answers you’ll thumb through the “pages” of the book and it will open to the page with [...]
I will admit that I’m a parent who’s been known to resort to trickery and stretching of the truth at times when dealing with my kids. Sometimes it’s a necessary evil. Well I found an app that’s for parents like me – Am I Done? This one made me smile because it’s an idea I’d [...]
As a child I liked playing with our Lite Brite but I would usually run out of patience before I finished my picture. Too many pegs. Today my kids like playing with the Lite Brite but I still have a problem with those pegs- they are a pain to pick up out of the carpet. [...]
KiddyLight is a silly and charming little app for children who have issues with the dark. I suppose it would also be good for adults with similar fears. The app turns your iPhone or iPod Touch into a flashlight. Ordinary enough but then you swipe the screen and the screen changes which then changes the [...]
Lorax Garden lets you help the Lorax replant Truffula tree forests. You work on one forest at a time, growing flowers and trees until the desolation is replaced with colorful plants. Each forest has a different challenge – how many trees and flowers you need to grow. Flowers are easiest to grow and as you [...]
I have the Cooking Dash app on my iPhone and it’s one of my 10 year old’s favorites. I enjoy it as well but I have to watch when I play it because I get sucked in and distracted. PlayFirst recently released a new twist on the game called Diner Dash Grilling Green and it’s [...]
We love Fisher Price at our house and the Little People have been a part of my life for almost ten years now. They’ve been in storage for the past few years but I’m sure we’ll be pulling them out soon for Baby J. Since we’re big Fisher Price fans I was excited to hear [...]
I’m finding irony in my review tonight. Dinner time at our house is fun. Tongue in cheek fun most days. Four kids, ranging in age from 10 to 9 months makes for a busy dinner table. Add to that the fact that I have a second grader and a five year old son and the [...]
Faces iMake is not a typical drawing app. This one lets you make faces by taking objects and turning them into a collage. The app has 20 face shapes that you can use as a starting point. Then you can choose a category of objects and start adding things to your face. Some 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.
