POTG Apps sent me a promo code to review their 3D Math Racing Pro app on my dad blog. This is one of those educational app that quizzes your kid with math problems. In the app, your car gets a speed boost each time you get a math problem right. The app makes math fun and hopefully will improve your child’s math skills. 3D Math Racing Pro is available now in the iTunes app store. The app is compatible with Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad devices. It requires iOS 5.0 or later.
I recently downloaded the OnPage app (Onset Technology). The mobile app essentially turns your smartphone into a pager. It’s pretty neat and is a very handy tool for dads and moms. I tested the app on my Apple iPod Touch and it works great. However, the iPod Touch isn’t an ideal device because you need to be able to connect to the Internet 24×7. Otherwise, you won’t receive the alerts when someone is trying to contact you. The Onset Technology app works better with iPhone, iPad, Blackberry, and Android devices.
This week, I’ve been playing with the WebMD app. It’s not a new app, but it is very useful. As you can tell by the name, the app provides medical information. I found the app very helpful and easy to use. It’s full of great information. The app is free. However, it’s ad supported. But for the most part, I didn’t really notice the ads. The WebMD app is compatible with the Apple iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (requires iOS 3.0 or later). I tested the app on my iPod touch, but you’re better off installing the app on an iPad or iPhone because you need Internet access for most of the features.
Ludorum and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently announced the Chuggington: Be Safe! app. It’s the first official traffic safety app for parents and children. The free app should appeal to young children — especially if they are fans of the Chuggington series. The goal of the Chuggington: Be Safe! app is to help teach children important traffic safety lessons. The educational app works with Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices (iOS 4.0 or later).
Lantronix recently announced the xPrintServer – Home Edition, which enables printing from Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices. xPrintServer – Home Edition supports up to eight USB printers and up to two network printers. xPrintServer – Home Edition isn’t currently available. However, you can pre-order the gadget. According to the press material, the device will begin shipping later this month.
Earlier in the week, I checked out the Shake-N-Tell app (Your Name In Cows). It’s a storytelling app for the Apple iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (iOS 4.0 or later). The free app is designed to help dads and moms tell bedtime stories. Let’s face it. At the end of the day, we’re not exactly at our creative best. And when you’re tired, it can be a little difficult to make up a story on the spot. This is when the Shake-N-Tell app comes in handy.
I was playing with the Imbroglio app (Lisbon Lab) last night. It’s a puzzle game for the Apple iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (iOS 4.3 or later). In this game, you’re on the magical Ombelico Islands. On these islands are Lithos, which are mystical stone cylinders that channel the elemental energy and maintain the harmony between air, water, earth and fire. Everything is fine on the islands until a tsunami ravages the islands and leaves all the Lithos scrambled. Now it’s your job to solve this imbroglio and save the Ombelico Island from obliteration.
I received a promo code to review the new Math Guardians Mini app on my dad blog. The app makes math fun by putting it in a game setting. In Math Guardians Mini, you have to solve math problems while creatures attack you. If you take too much time, the creature wins. The creatures consist of dinosaurs, dragons, and other beasts. Math Guardians Mini app, developed by Jiayi Chong, is available now in the Apple Appstore for $1.99. It’s compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation and higher), and iPad (requires iOS 5.0 or later). The game is aimed at kids ages eight and up (including adults).
I’ve been playing with an app called Rocka Bowling 3D. It’s a fun app by Best Cool Fun Games [Facebook | Twitter]. As you can tell by the name of the app, it’s a bowling game. The app reminds me a little of the bowling game in Wii Sports. But instead of using a Wii controller, you swipe with your finger to roll the bowling ball. Rocka Bowling 3D is available now in the Apple AppStore. It’s compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (requires iOS 4.1 or later). Note: there is also a Google Android version, which was actually developed first.
Fullpower Technologies sent me a code to review their MotionX-Sleep app on my geek dad blog. It’s an app that tracks sleep and daily activities without any wire attachments. I’ve been playing with the app for about two weeks now. I love the MotionX-Sleep app and found it very useful. I think other people will find the app useful too. That’s why I’m giving 500 promo codes to my readers (thank you Fullpower Technologies!) MotionX-Sleep [Facebook | Twitter] is compatible with the Apple iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad devices (iOS 4.2 or later). Head over to my MotionX-Sleep giveaway page to get a free code for the app (first 500 people). Continue on to read my app review.
