Let me begin by saying that I’m not nearly as health conscious with food choices as I should be. I think I’ve eaten enough preservatives to guarantee myself a very long shelf life should the need arise. Most of the time I don’t read that fine print but there was a time when my son [...]
I think I’ve been living under a rock and not just since the birth of my baby. I think I’ve been under this rock for awhile now. I had never heard of the Facebook game Lexulous before. I’m on Facebook but I’ve never really tried any of the games even though they pop up on [...]
This is an adorable ABC flashcard app from the same folks behind the Little Lala app. I absolutely loved the illustrations for this app. You can tap play and the flashcards will scroll through the entire alphabet. On each screen you’ll see a letter, picture and word. The narrator says the letter, makes the letter’s [...]
Animal Guesses is a whole different type of app for your iPhone. It’s something called a “web app”. Have any of you heard of web apps before? I hadn’t but when I asked my husband he knew all about them. I’m wondering if I’ve been under a rock or if this is one of those [...]
Hog Bay Letters is a very simple app that’s aimed at helping your little ones learn to identify their ABCs. The app’s screen is black but is filled with white letters, all different shapes and sizes and turned in topsy turvy directions. The idea is to tap on the letters in the correct ABC order [...]
Are your kids constantly asking you what time it is? Is it time for lunch? Is it really bed time already? Or even better, is it time for chores? My two oldest are past this phase now but my little guy is very interested in what’s happening in his life and when it’s supposed to [...]
The Alpha Numeric game gave my poor, tired mom brain a serious workout. The app is inspired by a British game show called Countdown. There are two different types of rounds. One round has you trying to make words out of random letters. In the other type of round you’re given numbers (large or small, [...]
About two months ago I reviewed the Kitchen Calculator app. I love this app and often use it when I’m cooking and trying to convert amounts in recipes. But now the developer has created Kitchen Calculator PRO and can I just say this app has only gotten better. The basis behind the app is the [...]
The iStoryTime Kids Book apps are a series of original children’s stories, written for the iPhone. The books that are currently available are – The Brave Monkey Pirate, Fred the Fish, Shoe-per Duper Shoes, Binky the Pink Elephant and (the title that intrigues me the most) The Wiener Dog Magnet. I have Fred the Fish [...]
6500+ Cool Facts was a “check this app out” from my husband and I can see exactly why the app appealed to him- he loves learning new things and figuring out how stuff works. The only thing this app does is give you random “cool facts”. They’ll show up one per screen and when 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.
