10 Essential Apps For Everyday Use

 
Top 10 Essential Apps for Parents
We have bundled up 10 IOS apps that can be essential for everyday life. I don’t know what I would do without them, they have definitely helped me out of jams (literally traffic jams), reminded me of scheduled appointments my alarm was suppose to do, made work breaks more productive and entertaining, helped me out many times with my indecisiveness, and much more. Hopefully our list will help make life easier with just a download.

 

 

Back to school shopping AND Toca Boca? Yes please!

Where was this kind of cool stuff when I was a kid?

Meet the Toca Boca Collection, exclusively at Target. It includes clothing, accessories, activity books and backpacks, among other things, and will make back- to-school shopping SOOOO much fun. The collection is designed for kids ages 5-9, but I'm pretty sure my 10-year-old is gonna want to get in on this action. Bringing kids' favorite app characters to life in toys and clothes is a brilliant idea, and I wish more app designers would do it.

Most things in the collection are gender-neutral, and will be found in between the boys' and girls' aisles of Target stores. The Toca Boca Collection debuts July 17, and if previous Target exclusives are any indication, it will be gone quickly (remember standing in line for Isaac Mizrahi and Lily Pulitzer stuff that disappeared in minutes?). So get thee to the nearest Target next week and stock up for school!

Featured Good FREE App of the Day: Math With Your Friends from Uhsome.

 

Just in time for the holidays, a new app has launched that you can play with your friends and family. Math With Your Friends is a fun twist on a classic board game that puts your math knowledge to the test. This social math game utilizes numbers and operators instead of letters as you build mathematical equations to score points. Increase your score even more by taking advantage of multipliers on the game board. The player with the most points wins! Don't want to play through social networks? No problem! This game has a simple two-player board option so friends can sit side by side and simply pass the device back and forth. 

The New Pokemon Go Plus has Been Released!

So, what is the Pokemon Go Plus, anyway? What does it do? Yes, I wondered as well. Well, the Pokemon Go Plus is a wearable device that pairs with your smart phone via Bluetooth, so you can play the app without constantly staring at your smartphone screen. It can be clipped to your clothing or worn on a wristband.
