My kids have been begging for a new iPad game lately, however I’ve just not come across any that really made me want to get it for them. No great purchases, no great review requests. Nothing. Then I was asked to review JumpStart’s Pet Rescue. I “jumped” at the chance. I remember how much my kids loved Madagascar Preschool Surf n’ Slide and was instantly excited to let them give this a shot. (more…)

When Apple announced and released the Cards app many people wondered what they were thinking. I was not one of them. I personally loved the idea. I have been a user of the printing services in iPhoto on the Mac and was excited to see Apple bring creating cards to iOS, with the ability to then have them printed and mailed…from anywhere. Admittedly I’ve not used this service as much as I thought, but then again I don’t send as many cards as I had thought I did either.
With all that said, I was pretty interested when I was told about Felt Cards for the iPad. I was told, “it’s like Apple’s Cards App, but BETTER.” I had to take a look. (more…)

Is there anything better and more relaxing than a quality massage? No matter where you ache or how bad your day has been, a great massage erases all bad, leaving nothing but good.
Unfortunately, it usually takes years of training and/or the purchase of expensive materials to master the fine art of the massage. That is, until now. (more…)

If you’re like me, your iPad and iPhone are with you at all times, always at the ready to jot down a note or scribble down an idea. The problem many run into, myself included, is finding a feature-rich app to capture whatever you want to get out of your head and onto some virtual paper. (more…)

For all of the wonderful features of iOS, one that frustrates some users is a lack of security when it comes being able to access photos and videos.
Even if you have a passcode on your phone, it’s still possible for someone to get into your device and access all of your important information in no time at all. That is, unless you are using Lunabee’s super secure app for protecting your precious photos and videos, oneSafe Photos. (more…)

Just like the original Pilo, users start Pilo 3 as either the young character Tommy or Sunny, who along with their Pillow Fairy friend Pilo, go on a bedtime adventure. However, in the third app of the series our character doesn’t want to eat, but instead wants to go to bed, so he/she can go on another dreamworld adventure. So, off to dreamland with Pilo the Pillow Fairy we go….oh, but not before we check Pilo for the best outfit…this time my kids wanted a superhero Pilo… (more…)

Pilo is a series of children’s storybook apps for the iPad. Each is uniquely interactive, geared towards children, and gives kids the power to explore dreams via an animated and narrated adventure.
I’m looking at the first in the series, Pilo 1, and the first thing parents and kids will notice about Pilo is that it’s graphically geared towards kids. The great 3D renders are impressive and the interface was designed with kids in mind. The second thing that’s noticeable is just how amazingly original the content is. That’s quite a feat in the App Store today. (more…)
