ABC Shakedown Plus (0)

On Tuesday, I wrote a review of ABC Shakedown, a flashcard alphabet app that kids could use to work on their pronunciation skills, language skills, and word-object agreement. I recently became aware of another app by I-itch, called ABC Shakedown Plus, that acts as an extended version of the former – extended not only in ... Read More

People in this country tend to view bilingualism with an air of impressiveness, that it’s a rare skill few possess. They often reply, when asked if they speak another language, with astonishing sincerity coupled with a step back, “Oh god no, I don’t speak a word of Spanish.” There are many people who point to ...

Awhile back I wrote a review on Peekaboo Barn, exclaiming how cute and clever it was, piquing a child’s imagination to see what was behind those barn doors, making whinnying noises, or cock-a-doodle-doos. I enjoyed the app so immensely I included it in the article 6 Apps That Make Mom’s Life Easier, because the app ... Read More
Color Me!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) (1)
3/03/10 •
Color Me!!!, by Izabela Zabek, is a coloring app for kids from 2-6 years old, so the app says, but really I don’t think it’s an app for anyone of any age. Don’t get me wrong, the app is presented very nicely and runs smooth; there are plenty of different drawings which one can color ... Read More

Here’s a cute puzzle app for children – Whimsy Animals, by David Ross. It’s the rare household with children that doesn’t have at least one puzzle hidden somewhere, in the back of a closet, or out in the open on the bedroom floor. Puzzles are not only fun to put together, they work your child’s ... Read More

If there’s anything I’ve learned about D TechnoLabs in the past two weeks is they like their apps sparsely decorated. And by spare, I mean barren. With ASL – American Sign Language, and iBaby Care, D TechnoLabs has established their penchant for a stripped-down, bare-bones app that manages to be simple without being streamlined. Lacking any ...

Yesterday, we checked out Pocket Story – The Boy Giant and nurtured our burgeoning skill at reading. But, before we can actually read, we need to learn that cornerstone of language, itself: the alphabet. Before learning to use a language, you must first learn its alphabet, which are the building blocks not only of speech, ... Read More
Pocket Story – The Boy Giant (3)

Starting off Kids Week we have a beautifully illustrated storybook app by the name of The Boy Giant by Wotsamaflip, an original tale written by Allan Plenderleith, who happens to be one of the UK’s top screenwriters for children. As noted from earlier reviews, I do favor the storybook app quite a bit -books are ... Read More

Babies. Whenever I see babies, or hear about babies, or even just think of babies, I can’t help but feel a tiny shiver up my spine, kind of like anxiety, but more like indigestion. I know absolutely nothing about babies. Okay, a slight exaggeration – I know next to nothing about babies, and that’s a ... Read More
Star Walk (0)
2/25/10 •
Star Walk is, upon first observation, inscrutable, limitless and unfathomable. Do not misinterpret – I say this with the utmost praise. The lengths to which this app goes to provide you with what I can only surmise as your own, personal observatory, is as deep as space, itself, and nearly as cryptic. With Star Walk, ... Read More
