When I first read the title of this app
from developer Mark White, I was a little nervous that someone was going to
make me eat a tadpole which I am just not
ok with on lots of levels.
Much to my pleasant surprise, no one offered me food.
I was taken wayyyyy back to my childhood memories (ok, so they’re not that far
back) to the video game Frogger, just…fishy-er.
With Mother’s Day fast approaching, it seemed like the right
time to check out some apps just for moms.
So I set off in search of the perfect app for moms. You
know, that app that has Ryan Gosling saying “Hey, girl, <insert each mom’s phrase of choice>.”
Mine would say “Hey, girl, I’ll be over soon to fold some laundry . . . and, by
the way, those sweatpants make you look super thin.” Alas, I discovered that no such app exists
(somebody really ought to do something about that), so I had to settle for putting
together a whole list of apps for moms.
I tried to keep the list to free apps (or free when I got them) and I
avoided anything educational, just on principle.
** Sorry but if you are reading this, some of the apps on this list were free for a short time only and have gone back to full price. Please sign up for our Free App Alert so you don't miss any of our free app posts. **

What a cracking mixed bunch I have for you today!
There's a cool drawing app, a sweet app based on a best-selling book and one of my favourite games on the App Store. And TONS more.
You're also saving quite a bit of dosh (as they say in my part of the world) so you'll have more money to spend on important things like chocolate.
A virtual activity workbook just like the ones you used to take on car trips, except more fun. This standalone companion to The Trip Little Critter Adventure Reading app is appropriate for ages 4-7.
All aboard!
Little engineers can build trains galore in this match-'em and move-’em-out
game from Shelly Data Doodles. Surprise your fans of Thomas and Johnny-come-lately Chuggington with this FREE download!
Enter the
train yard with a tap, and start loading up eight red locomotives with one of two styles of train cars. Hit the green light to start the cars a-moving in. Tap
again, and the newest car falls straight down from wherever it is on the track.
Your mini railroad manager’s goal is to create trains with three consecutive
matching cars to earn points.
Bottom Line: Tap Tap for toddlers. Designed as a bedtime game for younger children, this app might be fun for a little while, but it probably won't help anyone fall asleep.
Bottom Line: Create-a scene app with a funky, one of a kind steam train interface and a proprietary system to share creations make this a winner for ages 4+.
It's FREE!
