Friday app roundup 10/02/2012

I’m trying  something new this week. You’ll have noticed that I haven’t posted an “app of the week” for a while, which is a combination of the geekdaddy being up to his eyeballs in work and not able to do any video editing for me, and my being ill since Christmas and really not feeling …

geekmummy.tv – app of the week – Meningitis Signs and Symptoms

I’m doing something a little bit different in my “app of the week” spot this week. One of the things I love about my iPhone is that I always have it with me, and that means I can put apps on it in case of emergencies. For example, I have a simple first aid app, …

geekmummy.tv – app of the week – GarageBand

I’ve been running my “app of the week” segment for a little while now, and I hope you’re enjoying them. My criteria for selecting each app are pretty simple – I look for an app that is relevant to families, and it has to be an app that I would personally recommend. I also try …
