If you are interested in an app that offers you varied weather information that is easy to access, then Yahoo! Weather is the app for you. I’ve reviewed a lot of weather apps, and tried them regularly and I’m finding this new Yahoo! app very appealing. All the information is available by swiping left/right or up/down. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

We talk about the weather because it impacts our lives. It’s that simple and that’s why there are so many apps out there to help us find out the weather at any moment. I’ve reviewed a number of them but have found one that provides me just what I need on a day-by-day, hour-by-hour basis. That app, Climate Clock, displays the temperature on an analog clock. It allows you to see the weather now – and for the next ten hours. Continue reading

It is hard to categorize Flipboard, but I’ll try. Their marketing material calls it a “social magazine” and that is a pretty good description. It takes your social media (Facebook and Twitter), displays it in a dazzling magazine format, and offers you articles from such notables as Fast Company and Wired Science, allows you venture over see who’s hot according to People Magazine or what is up at Etsy. It was love at first sight for me. I could spend hours exploring each option. Continue reading

Orchestra by Touch Press is an impressive view of what is possible on an iPad. On the other hand, maybe it is even beyond what I could have imagined as possible. It is part theatrical performance, part text, part commentary with music, part musical score and part visual aid showing how musicians combine their talents to play classics. Most of all it is impressive. Continue reading

Egyptian pyramids have fascinated us since Howard Carter discovered the treasurers of King Tut’s tomb in 1922. We have enjoyed movies about them, TV shows and an amazing number of books. Now, Touch Press brings us an app that allows us to walk through the Pyramids, not only as if we were there, but better than that! Some of the views you have in this app are in protected areas and even if you were there, you couldn’t see them. Not only that, Dr. Zahi Hawass adds his extensive knowledge of the area to the project. Pyramids 3D is a treasure. Continue reading

People learn in different ways. Some need to see what they are learning. Some need to hear someone explain what they need to learn and some need to touch, or experience the new information. Happily, Spanish – Speak and Learn Pro does all three. I took Spanish in college but am far from fluent. This app combines the fun of a game with repetitive learning. I actually look forward to my language lessons. I think you will too. I didn’t test the Spanish – Speak and Learn for Kids. If your intention is to help your children learn Spanish you might want to start with that version. Continue reading

I admit it. I am a map geek. I love printed maps, digital maps, old atlases, new atlases, globes and now this new National Geographic World Atlas HD app. It is important to know and understand world geography. We hear about locations on the news and without understanding the location, we cannot understand the story. This is a marvelous tool to help you place where you are and where events are happening in the world. Continue reading

The Weather Channel offers a beautiful display with all the information you need readily available for both the iPad and iPhone. The iPad version is more full featured, but both versions work well.
