The CPSC Recall app is for moms who want to stay on top of product recalls. CPSC stands for Consumer Products Safety Commission. This app gives you a list of the most recent recalls. I was shocked at how many recalls pulled up the first time I used this app. I naively assumed that the [...]

The DirecTV app lets you program your DVR to record shows from your iPhone. You can start by searching for shows, browsing by channel or browsing by date and time. If you find a show that looks interesting, tap on it and the app gives you a description of the show, what time it’s on, [...]

Is it just me or are coupons all the rage right now? I used to get looks when I presented my stack at the checkout, not anymore. Seems like everyone is clipping and doubling and looking for discounts. Which brings me to this great new app, Coupon Sherpa. If you’re looking for savings, put this [...]

  A reader tipped me off to The Weather Channel app. She said that she likes it better then the built in iPhone weather app and after using it I’ve decided that I agree with her. The Weather Channel app uses your iPhone’s current location and pulls up the weather for that area. You can [...]

I’m the first to admit that my sense of fashion is somewhat challenged. I’m sure that I need some serious help with my sloppy jeans and T-shirts. I keep wishing/dreading that one day Stacy and Clinton from TLC’s "What Not to Wear" will show up with hideous footage of me and the funds and coaching [...]

Hip Hip Hooray! I could end this review right now because the Kindle app just put a whole lot of "Hooray" into my iPhone.  I’ve never been the least bit curious about Amazon.com’s Kindle. I like the feel of a book in my hand and being able to turn actual pages. Still, I was intrigued [...]

The premise behind Places is that it lets you know all about different places around you. Catchy huh. It works by taking your phone’s location and pulling up the different stores and restaurants around you. You choose the category you want to look up – restaurants, shopping, nightlife, coffee or featured listings – and then [...]

A great app that brings USA Today to your iPhone. The thing that I like about USA Today is the way you get news in a short, easy to read format. For those of us who primarily read picture books this is a welcome thing. The "Headlines" button takes you to the news stories. Along [...]
