Apps for Brats

http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21588403-american-parents-snap-up-apps-make-their-children-less-horrible-apps-brats An amusing article on apps that have the potential to make you a “tidy profit”. Might give some of you out there an idea for that next killer app…for brats!

Dude the domain is available! http://www.godaddy.com/domains/searchresults-new.aspx?ci=54814 Great little niche! LOL how about one that says over and over "put that down" "don't touch that" ....oh the life of ADHD children! Being a stepmom of a special needs kiddo the IPAD actually a great incentive to to get things done and she goes right to the 4pic1word spelling apps win win for all! Gaming for learning instead of babysitting! Thanks for the share Sheri

Great article. iPhone/pad is so much more interactive than the old portable DVD player. the idevice is essential for surviving dinner out or a long road trip. Every restaurant it's nothing but kids huddled around a device. Good and bad - they are quiet so no one complains, but not engaging with others. I thought we were big time back in the 80's with a Walkman and a MADLIBS pad to keep busy on road trips. I remember my first version of this: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/led-football/id289808579 My son thinks it's lame compared to the apps you can get now. He doesn't understand yet how awesome and advanced that game was, esp when they added the kicker a couple of years later.

Just a thought Sheri.. do you remember some time ago on the forum there was talk about building an app as a group? How about the Women of Buzztouch brainstorm some ideas for children’s apps and build it together? Maybe we can talk about that at the meeting on the 7th.
