Our Apps

In addition to being parents and iPhone fans, we’re also developers.

Here are the mobile learning tools for kids that we’ve cooked up so far:




Build A Zoo contains six great educational games for toddlers and preschoolers that are optimized for both iPhone and iPad.

Build A Zoo helps kids learn letters, spelling, matching and also provides practice with fine motor skills like dragging and timing. When learning is fun like this, kids are naturally engaged and quickly start to improve their skills.



ABC 123 Blocks is another great first app for toddlers. It has ranked among the top thirty education apps in the App Store and was covered by ABCNews.com. The app includes activities for kids to learn their ABCs, practice their numbers, explore shapes, and experiment with music. Check out Emma playing with a prototype version:

Counting Ants Lite is a great app for kids learning to count. It features fun animations of ants and numbers, as well as an easy-to-use interface that make it perfect for kids just discovering the iPhone as a learning tool. Perhaps best of all for parents, the app is free. You can get it here.

    My name is Abhijeet Wable. I would like to have your website review my
    Iphone App Aneurysm. Its a fun hand-eye coordination game.
    Here is a description on the bottom as well as a youtube link

    Thank you for your time,
    Abhijeet Wable

    It’s been scientifically proven that the human brain can only track
    eight moving objects at once.
    Let’s just put that to the test shall we with the game Aneurysm.
    Aneurysm is a fun addictive puzzle game, that continuously changes
    right before your very eyes. The way to play is quite simple. Just
    place your finger on the blue orb. Move the blue orb around as to
    avoid getting hit by the other color changing orbs that are bouncing
    around. See how many orbs you can avoid before being hit. Are you up
    for the challenge?
    There are fifteen levels in this game that will keep you on your toes
    for hours. You’ll be amazed how addictive this game is.

    If your orb gets hit,not to worry. You’ll have an option that pops up
    to get to a point in the game before it got hit below on the screen.
    You’ll be able to do this by moving backwards in time a couple of
    seconds before you got hit to resume the game.

    If you like puzzle games and to challenge your mind, then you’ll
    definitely fall in love with Aneurysm
