Day Seventeen. App Seventeen. Nike Training Club.

It’s been a few days since we’ve tried to motivate you to get some exercise, so we thought we’d give it a try again. Because we have other things we’d like to do besides exercise, we’re big fans of the quick, get-it-done, and get-on-with-other-things type of exercise. So, we have an app for that… and … Continue reading →

Top Ten Gifts for Knitters and Yarnaholics

Let me just start by saying, “I love this bag.” It’s wonderful. The color is beautiful. The size is perfect. The pockets and compartments are ideal. The quality is spectacular. “I love this bag.” If you also love this bag or know someone else who would, then keep on reading, because this is the list … Continue reading →

Day Sixteen. App Sixteen. All Recipes/Epicurious.

We like to eat. Mostly we like ice cream. However, at this time of year, we also like baked goods and soups (comfort foods, we suppose) and we even like to cook them. Our app of choice for finding new recipes is actually two apps; we like both All Recipes (we splurged on the pro version, … Continue reading →

Day Fifteen. App Fifteen. SnapTell.

SnapTell is our featured app today. As you may have noticed, one of the primary things that drives our positive rating of an app is its ease of use. We like simple and intuitive. If we have to read a manual or watch a tutorial, our likelihood of using the app (at least as it … Continue reading →

Day Fourteen. App Fourteen. Grocery IQ.

We don’t feel very inspired writing this app. Unlike other apps we’ve reviewed, we’re just not that excited about this one. Knowing that, though, it should tell you a lot about the value of this app since we’re recommending it in spite of our blah-ness. Now you’re curious aren’t you? Okay, our blah and yet … Continue reading →

Easy Christmas Treats

Every year one of the advent activities that my boys and I do together is make peppermint bark and toffee. We use it as gifts, but we also just like to eat it. Yum. So, in the spirit of Christmas giving (and because I had to find the recipes anyway), I’m sharing these super simple … Continue reading →

Day Thirteen. App Thirteen. Silent Film Director.

We decided that for Day Thirteen we’d go with a quirky little app that really does nothing other than make us laugh. That app is called Silent Film Director. It’s a fun app that takes video (real time with your camera or from your photo library or FTP file sharing) and allows you to convert … Continue reading →

Day Twelve. App Twelve. Glo Bible.

The app we are reviewing today is a great example of how ALL textbooks should be designed. We are believers that the Christmas season is about celebrating the birth of Jesus (you’re just learning so much about us- we’re football fans AND Jesus believers!). Anyway, today we are reviewing an app that we think can … Continue reading →

Day Eleven. App Eleven. Capture.

“Wait, can you do that once more?!?” That’s what used to happen at our house when someone would do something worthy of the almighty video-recording. Back in the old days, it used to mean running to the closet to dig out the clunky video recorder; remember those HUGE tapes?!?- (Hmmmm, we may have just stumbled … Continue reading →

Day Ten. App Ten. Fantasy Monster Football.

We like football. There. We said it. Now, go ahead, make whatever assumptions you’re going to make about us. It’s fine, we already made a bunch of assumptions about you too. Over it? Okay. So, football. It’s a little late now, but if you have any fantasy football leagues, next Fall, you HAVE to get … Continue reading →
