ABC Shakedown Plus (0)
3/05/10 •
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 ...

DynaZoo is an interesting app. It’s supposedly for kids, but as an adult I found it pretty difficult… then again, my girlfriend does say I’m pretty childish sometimes, so take that with a grain of salt! DynaZoo, by Apps4U, is a matching game on methamphetamine and it’s unapologetic about it – their sub-title is “Animal Matching ... 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
Furballs! (In Space) (0)
1/20/10 •
In my last post I mentioned that Block Off didn’t allow the display to flip depending on the orientation of your phone. Well, neither does Furballs!, developed by Dan Russell-Pinson, but at least this time the orientation is to my liking. Furballs! is a matching game where you guide floating little balls of fur into ... Read More
Scrabble (1)

I think we’ve established how much I enjoy word games. The question is, why haven’t I reviewed Scrabble yet? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s because all my time is spent playing it. With a little Catan thrown in, of course. I remember being horrible at Scrabble when I began playing regularly some time in college, jumping ... Read More
Sherlock Holmes (0)

Ever since the release of the recent Sherlock Holmes movie, with the ever-dashing Robert Downey Jr. as the master of mystery, himself, and with Jude Law as his witty sidekick Watson, I’ve noticed a small flurry of Sherlock Holmes apps in the iTunes Store. Okay, maybe I’ve only seen two or three, but considering there ... Read More

Once upon a time, a young man named Waldo took the first steps toward a great adventure… For anyone who enjoyed the Where’s Waldo? book series, be sure to check out the new Where’s Waldo? iPhone app by Classic Media.

Words With Friends (0)
10/30/09 •
Words With Friends is one of the best turn-based crossword iPhone and iPod Touch apps out there. The app is basically in the style of Scrabble without ever billing itself as such. Although the board is bigger, you have multiple game options, and it has a great free version as well as an upgraded paid ... Read More
