Happy Geese App Review – Making Playtime Happy Happy Happy

By Emily On June 20, 2013 · Add Comment

My mom recently moved and in the process found a large box of childhood toys and games that my brother and I played with when we were much younger. In her new house my mother set up a corner where my two kids – 3 and 5 – could sit and go through these games; they decided together to try their hands at Monopoly. Both kiddos got incredibly frustrated with me when I tried to explain how to acquire property Trump-style and ended up building a multi-colored housing development smack-dab in the middle of the Community Chest square. Happy Geese is an app that removes the frustration of multi-step board games and complicated play instructions. Younger children can easily play board games on the iPad while building early-learning skills such as color identification and number recognition. This app is especially useful for special-needs players as well; there are [...]

My Secret Affliction: Digital Hoarding

By Jess On June 19, 2013 · Add Comment

One of my favorite shows to watch is A&E’s Hoarders. For starters, I always come away from the show feeling better about the state of my own house. Mine may be cluttered and the garage stacked to the ceiling, but at least there aren’t any animal carcasses buried under piles of 20-year-old mail. In some ways, the show also serves as a reminder of what I’m overcoming. You see, I believe there is a hoarder inside me. As my husband sometimes says, we are one tragedy away from being on that show. Yes, he is harboring an inner hoarder as well. It’s one of the few things we have in common! However, while I may be winning the battle against the pointless collection of furniture, craft supplies, and anything with a cute kitty on it, I feel as though I’m losing a different one: The overwhelming amount of [...]

Nickelodeon SpongeBob App Packs Massive In App Purchase

By Faith O'Neil On June 19, 2013 · Add Comment

Heads up, parents! Even though every app developer from here to Kalamazoo should know that massive in-app purchases should be avoided at all costs, especially when children are involved, but some just seem to turn a blind eye and continue to take advantage of children and their parents. The latest app to show up with an outrageous in app purchase is ‘SpongeBob Moves In’. Shockingly enough, this is an official app Nickelodeon. ‘SpongeBob Moves In’ is an official Nickelodeon app that allows children to move SpongeBob into his pineapple home, get a job at the Krusty Krab, and proceed to build their very own Bikini Bottom town. Unfortunately, the currency used to play the game, jars of Jelly Fish Jelly, have to be purchased from the in-app store. While this is not unusual, the amounts of potential purchases are alarming! The most expensive purchase that could be accidentally made by [...]

Loopy Lost His Lettuce App Review

By Emily On June 18, 2013 · Add Comment

Does it ever feel like the Universe is against you getting a snack? It’s a simple walk from the couch to the fridge, but there’s the pile of wooden trains to jump over or the dog who just wants to be rubbed. Finally you get to the kitchen and start rooting around for that chocolate you swore you stashed behind the butter but it’s now gone. Loopy the Snail – star of Loopy Lost His Lettuce – just wants a snack too. He travels through different landscapes and seasons chasing his green leafy lettuce and helping different animal friends along the way. Interactive surprises and mini-games throughout the story keep players engaged and interested in watching Loopy’s journey. Like most storybooks there are two modes – Read To Me or Read To Myself – and six mini-games. Players can tap, shake, and tilt the iPad to [...]

Dave Daring App Review – Dare You Not To Like This App

By Emily On June 13, 2013 · Add Comment

Those who know me, know not to dare me to do something – because I’ll do pretty much anything. I have fond memories of proving my husband wrong when he told me I wouldn’t be able to eat five pieces of the hottest-sauced chicken – aptly named Braveheart – at the local wing joint. My daughter, even as early a three years old, is showing clear signs of inheriting the daredevil gene. Dave Daring also inherited that gene too but instead of using it to scarf down atomic chicken wings, he’s using it to help teach your little one over 250 words. The app features several scenes straight from Dave’s daring adventures, and players try to find a group of items in the chaos. Find the cat in each scene and a group of mazes are unlocked for more fun. From climbing a mountain (of clothes) [...]
