Felt Board App Review and Giveaway! ~~ By Software Smoothie

Hey everyone! Today I'm bring you all my very first giveaway!! I am very excited to be bringing you the app that has my kids glued to the ipad since I downloaded it!

So today I bring you Felt Board By Software Smoothie! They are a husband and wife team and they are pretty awesome!

So I was going to do some videos, but Racer wasn't game and CareBear couldn't stop talking into the video long enough to work with the app. lol kids


When I first opened up this app, it reminded me of  the old sticker clings sets that I used to play with when I was a kid. There are over 20+ backgrounds with over every scene possible. A variation of  felt people to use along with faces and hair. There are also faces with emotions which could be great for creating social stories for our kids! I was truly amazed at the in-depth customization you can get into with it. I played for hours myself! Then of course the kids wanted to know what mommy was doing and I haven't seen the ipad since!

CareBear likes creating boat loads of people all wearing pretty dresses (princess stage). Racers done some really cool scenes with his like this one!

There is a party on his farm and everyone is invited! He's had a lot of fun with this app! You can tell because after the party on the farm, they held an after party on the moon!











In that picture you can see there is a sidebar, each tab brings up different pieces to add to the picture. People, clothes, accessories, animals it goes on and on! If you don't like what you've added you can easily toss it into the trash can down at the bottom. There is also an easy picture taking button to save the scenes you have made!









The app is extremely easy to use, and fun as well! Look at how much Racer loved it


So here is the fun part! You can enter to win one of two promo codes I have! Entry is really easy using Rafflecopter! BUT if you don't want to wait to see if you win you can buy the code here. You can also find the developer team on Facebook and Twitter! So go....get to going and enter to win and stop by and say hello!! Tell them the YuckMouth Mommy sent you!

Apps In Review ~ Ten Giggly Gorillas

Since getting an ipad the YuckMouths have been all over the app scene! Other then the learning apps that I have tons of we have really gotten into interactive books. Now my kids LOVE to read but there is something about a book that comes to life when you touch different parts of the book.

Today I bring you Ten Giggly Gorillas , its an app brought to you by Wasabi Productions. That link will take you to their facebook page. I find it super easy to see whats going on with an app and to keep in touch with developers by following them on their pages. Plus it gives you insight to whats next!

Ten Giggly Gorillas is a cute story about ten gorillas in a tree, you tickle each one till there is one left. The story is cute and easy to follow along. It gives you an option to read alone or have it read to you. The narrators voice is awesome as is the gorillas voices! Each of the ten gorillas say something different when touched and keep a eye out for the hidden toucan!  In addition to the book there is a memory match game with pictures of the gorillas as the cards.







The YuckMouths have quite a few books on their ipad but since downloading this one its been in constant play. They can't get enough of it! I highly recommend this app!!

YuckMouths give this app THUMBS UP!!

#techtues ~~ Apps in Review ABC Song Piano By Kiboomu

Recently I was given the special chance to review an app, so it will be the first #techtues blog that I run!

Apps are a fairly new thing for the YuckMouth house, we've played around with a few but finding the right ones to either entertain the masses and teach them at the same time can be quite the battle. Luckily I've happened upon a few good sites like A4cwsn and Kiboomu! The app I'm reviewing today is from the ladies over at Kiboomu who I've had the pleasure of tweeting with, you should totally follow them, they are awesome!!





The app is called ABC Song Piano, its available on the iphone, ipad, and itouch. Its an age appropriate app for toddlers and preschoolers and awesome for special needs kids learning their alphabet. When I first got it open I fooled with the settings, checked out the four different options, but as soon as that song played all the kids came running to see what I was doing. I gave each a turn and of course as amazed at how easy it was for them to try out the different settings and then actually record themselves playing. The loved it! So the YuckMouth clan gives 7 thumbs up!

Once I shooed them all away, tried out the different game types. I really loved the ease of switching from one type to the other. The button tabs were all easy to see and use, and the song was hilarious to hear with the barn animal sound enabled.  The letters were brightly colored and easy to hear and see, and the pace was slow enough that even my 1yr old was able to handle it and press the keys to hear the sounds. I'd say it is a great starting app, and at a great price $1.99! You can view it on the Kiboomu apps page and purchase it on itunes. My kids loved it and I loved hearing them sing the ABC song and giggle together!

Thanks to Mommy Perks for giving me my first app to review!
