No, Human. The Universe shall not be colonized. RAWR

Once in space, the human said: “We will colonize you, Universe!” “Oh, really?” answered the Universe, and threw a flaming fireball towards the human! And the Universe, who enjoys explosions, looked for more humans… and found many. Ohhhhh scary. Haha this is actually a pretty fun game.  Given, it’s very simple. The whole point: throw flaming asteroids at humans and destroy their ships as much as possible. Okay, I’m cool with that. I also really like how at the beginning of a new level, they give the level a name, and the name gives you a hint as to how you need to throw [ ... ]

Flashcards Deluxe makes studying SO much easier

Not to mention it saves trees, right? I’ve been using Flashcards Deluxe on my iPod touch since last year, and I like it even more on my iPad! Of course, if I were to describe it here in my own words, this could take forever, because it has so many great features. So I’ll just give you the  list from the app page: • Two smart study modes that automatically focus more on the cards you miss: Leitner and a more advanced Spaced Repetition mode (similar to SuperMemo or Anki) • Quizlet.com integration – Browse and download any of their 2 million+ flashcard [ ... ]

Frame Up and frame out!

Frame Up is a free photo app. It’s really neat, I like it. I think that most of the time, people use it for actual serious designing of rooms, but I like to just have fun with it. I’m really into photography and these are some of my favorite pictures I’ve taken arranged on Frame Up: Yeah. It’s pretty cool. You can change the background to yellow, green, or beige with the lights. Or you can change it to blue, green, grey, or red just plain. Or you can change it to dark red with a light red border. When you [ ... ]

Virion Super cool (nerdy-oh no not again!) game

Why, oh why do I always make everything nerdy, even when it doesn’t need to be?? Maybe you don’t understand the nerdiness. Maybe that’s a good thing… No, seriously though. This game is really fun. It’s called Virion and it’s only $2.99 in the app store. The point of the game is that there is a giant virus infecting someone’s brain. There are six main levels with fourteen levels within each one. Each sub-level is shown by someone who has been infected, and once they are cured, they are happy again! Each infected person’s brain has around nine areas [ ... ]

Zentomino – an oxymoronic puzzle game

I love oxymorons. Maybe that’s a little nerdy, but I think they’re really entertaining. Anyone not know what an oxymoron is? (no it doesn’t mean stupid) It’s generally a two-word phrase, and the two words contradict each other. For example: silent scream, act naturally, alone together, and one of my favorites: Microsoft Works. Ahaha. Get the idea now? Well, then how is this game an oxymoron? It’s a relaxing puzzle game. You know, usually puzzle games make me really anxious because they’re either timed, or I get frustrated that I can’t solve it (AH, nerd again!!! x.x). But [ ... ]

Best magazine app yet! iPadKids love Zinio

Zinio for the iPad-this is possibly the COOLEST app I have on my iPad. Very likely. Almost certainly. Definitely. Zinio is an e-magazine website (www.zinio.com) where you can buy subscriptions to magazines. So what makes this so amazing? The sheer number of magazines available. You want it? Then you can be pretty much sure they have it. They have Rolling Stone, Smithsonian, Popular Mechanics, Elle, Reader’s Digest, National Geographic, iCreate (a spanish Apple magazine!!), The Economist, and my favorite: Mental Floss. There are all of those, and ridiculous amounts more. And they’re really not that expensive. Example: you can [ ... ]

Hablas Español? Parlez vous français? Parli italiano?

Muy bien, amigos!! So now we’re back in school, and most likely you all are taking at least one language class. I’m taking Spanish Five Honors, and it’s tough! But I’m kind of getting to the point where I’m almost fluent in Spanish. Que bueno, verdad? And I have been using this website for the past three years, I believe, for Spanish. It is an amazing website called www.wordreference.com. It’s also good for French, Italian, and a few other languages, I think. And they have an iPhone app too! Three of them, actually. Uno para el Español, uno per le italiane, [ ... ]

Montessori Crosswords App Review

When we were choosing the person from the iPad Kids Team, we all knew who it was going to be. ME! This decision was so easy because I used to go to the Montessori School.

You can pick the different level of crossword you want to play, 1 word. 2 words, or 3 words. You may also pick the Movable alphabet button. We all know that little kids are a wee bit clumsy, so they might [ ... ]

Interactive Alphabet: Z is best says The iPad Kids

interactive means you can touch the iPad and the letter are said outloud. You can also move things like the zipper. Our neighbor’s two little kids liked it when they did that. The Robot is good. But the Z is best because every kid likes to play with zippers. It is neat how they work and go together and come apart. I think kids who are in Pre-K and K will like this app and they will learn stuff too. The app is $2.99 here and on sale for a little bit so if you want it [ ... ]
