Numbler Review – Numbers Across The Board

By Emily On February 19, 2013 · Add Comment

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Scrabble and Sodoku got together and had a baby? Well, wonder no more, because Numbler is that theoretical offspring. Part crossword, part math quiz, this app takes the best of both and shapes it into a number-crunching good time. If the math muscles in your brain need a work out, then pick up your iPad and start playing Numbler. Basic math skills – addition, subtraction, division – are necessary in order to play this game. The board itself is quite similar to the layout of Scrabble or Words With Friends, but instead of letters the game tiles consist of digits and equation markers. During every hand you have to use at least two tiles from your stash and one that has already been placed on the board. You can play against the computer pr take turns with another player sitting next to [...]

Memollow Review – Easy And Simple, Like Your Favorite Pillow

By Emily On February 7, 2013 · 1 Comment

Most of my days end with my head hitting the pillow, and sleep hitting me within 27 seconds. It’s amazing that, after a day of activity and noise, all it takes is the basic luxury of a fluffy pillow to send me off to dreamland. Since having children I have learned to never underestimate the value of the simple things in life. Memollow has taken that basic concept and adapted it into a memo-based childrens’ app that uses whimsical and familiar objects to reinforce memory skills. Instead of sharp-edged “cards”, the pictures are on the cool side of the pillow, softening the overall aesthetic of the game. The images themselves are easily-recognized parts of a child’s daily routine – the alphabet, animals, toys – so that young players can further interact with the game. As a reward, after each round of play there is an adorable short (think 5 seconds) [...]

Gro Memo Review – Time to clean these creatures!

By Emily On December 11, 2012 · 1 Comment

My son is notorious for his diatribes that begin with “Hey, do you remember when…” He proves that it’s a scientific fact that children’s brains are like sponges. He has reminded us of events and experiences that happened years ago; like beach vacations, birthday parties, and that time I didn’t buy him the toy he had been waiting for months to get. It’s no surprise, then, that he’s amazingly good at picture memory games, and he really enjoyed playing Gro Memo (short for “memory”). Developed by Gro Play Digital AB out of Sweden, this interactive app not only challenges growing minds but also teaches young players about the importance of keeping the environment clean. Gro Memo offers two different environments with 29 different critters. The forest features ornery owls, a feisty fox and a messy moose, among others. Or you can go underwater to be serenaded by shellfish or help [...]

4 Elements HD Review – Can You Feel The Magic?

By Emily On December 3, 2012 · Add Comment

Imagine, if you will, a Tolkien-esque world in which ancient kingdoms are missing vital elements, a sprightly little fairy flits around guiding you through a rescue mission, and dragons and ancient grey-bearded warriors live together in peace. No, it’s not the latest Hobbit cinematic release, it’s 4 Elements HD – an app for the iPad that lets you lose yourself in a world full of magic. 4 Elements HD begins by telling a story of a land that has been darkened by evil that has robbed its four elements of energy. A small fairy appears to give you a somewhat complicated plot line and the directions to help solve the mystery and renew the life in the kingdom. Books that correspond with the elements need unlocking, and within each there are cards depicting images of the kingdom and its occupants. The books can only be unlocking by completing several rounds [...]
