App reviewer, Apple geek, father of three, bass guitarist, wombat tamer: one of these things is made up, but the rest do a pretty good job of describing Sean.
With so many apps available, trying to find the right one for your kids can be overwhelming. I’m making it my job to find the best apps to help your children become better 21st century learners and citizens (and gamers).
This game has you swinging in circles as you try to collect as many jewels as you can. While you’re at it, saving some trapped princesses would be a good idea, too.
This game is a side-scroller featuring Toby and his fan-propelled backpack. Help him as he travels through a toy store, popping balloons with his arsenal of toys.
This game combines birds and physics, but not in the way that we’re all familiar with. The birds need to reach their nest of eggs by rolling toward them.
You can pick whichever square you’d like the butterfly to start from. There’s no timer and no lives, so you can take all the time you need to map out a course.
Select which robot you’d like to construct in the main menu. A silhouette of them is shown as they stand on a platform. All of the required pieces to put the robot together are at its feet.
Are you not nerdy enough to actually know binary? Don’t worry, there’s help within the app for that. A question mark button on the left of the timer bar will show the correct combination.
The beauty about webr is that it’s all done in an interface that fits perfectly on the iPhone’s real estate. For free, it’s certainly worth a shot to look into it.

This app takes a page out of the Stephen Covey book “Put First Things First.” In today’s incredibly hectic world, there are certainly plenty of things that demand our attention.
The thing about a Twitter timeline is that it’s a jumble of different things. Anything from Instagram pictures to daily happenings is all blended together. This app brings some order to the chaos by making a special place to gather all of the tweets with links from your timeline.
The game starts off simple enough: a blue ball is placed under a cup and then the cups dance around the tabletop. Select one of the cups once they stop moving to see if you can identify which cup has the ball.
Today we’ll look at doing something basic: making cards. The example below shows a Father’s Day card to mark the occasion, but it certainly works for any other card you’d like to make.
Match the blocks by tapping anywhere on the screen to shoot a star at them. Hit two or more of the same color blocks and they’ll drop from the pack. You’ll need to focus on the bottom-most ones because it’s game over the moment one hits the bottom of the screen.
