AirportMania: First Flight

I started with the lite version and my son and I loved it so much I paid the $1.99 for the full version. You are in charge of landing planes and have it unload at the correct color gate. Some planes will need to refuel while others need repair. You can add extra gates, extra runways and others. You can repaint planes, serve food or show a movie. The object is to be fast and keep the planes happy. The faster you are, the more money you receive, the more upgrades you can do. This game looks childish but will keep you on your toes.

App Share Day #2

The second app share day will be this coming Thursday at 7am in our school library. Come to share a cool app you are using or listen for one you may be interested in. I hope to you see many District Employee this Thursday!!

Angry Birds Halloween addition

After paying $4.99 for my Angry Birds HD a few months ago, I decided I would not get suckered into buying another Angry Birds...just to have the Halloween decorations added in. Well, I caved yesterday when I saw that they dropped the price to $1.99. I know Halloween is over but they have added hanging lanters, pumpkins and a larger red bird that bounces when it hits things. With the added features...it was well worth the price.

PaintMee

PaintMee is another photo app but this one can take your picture and make it look as though it was oil painted. This app comes in a Free lite version and a $2.99 version for the itouch/phone but I purchased the $4.99 ipad HD version and am loving it. In my spare time, which at this point in time I don't have any, I enjoy painting and have always wanted to learn how to paint people. This app will do it for me now so I don't have to learn. Wonderful paintings for my children for years to come.

10 PinShuffle

This app comes both free or for $3.99. The Lite or free version is only the 10 Pin Poker game. Every strike gives you two cards, every spare gives you one card. Whoever has the best hand out of 10 frames wins. When you upgrade, which I had to because I enjoyed it so much, you get regular bowling and shuffle board too. We play this as a family many times a week. Both for the ipad and itouch.

Dizzypad HD

Are you a fan of Pocket Frogs? If so you will be excited to have Dizzypad HD. This free app has one game to play for free. You would need to upgrade for the other three. The Dizzypad game has one frog on a spinning lillypad. You need to jump the frog at the right time to land on the next lillypad. If you miss, you lose a flower, if you can jump past a lillypad, you can earn a flower.

Mad Libs (Free)

This free app has many great reviews. Just like the books your probably used...you need to fill in the blanks with the necesary parts of speech. There are also many bad reviews on this app because there are only a few different stories to do. If you want more stories...there is a $3.99 charge.

Police Siren

Another free app. I know what you are thinking, "Why would he post this?" but it is fun for the kids. The lights are not as cool as they could be but the flashing lights and many siren sounds together make this another fun app for kids to play with.

Appshopper
