I've come across my fair share of cool travel apps , many of which we've covered on Cool Mom Tech, but once in a while I come across one that makes me scratch my head in amazement and think, wait, how is that possible, like the Tunnel Vi…

When the number of hands and fingers touching my phone on a daily basis, it's a wonder I can actually see the screen at the end of the day. Which is why I'm digging a new product called Gwee Button that makes cleaning mobile devices poss…

It's likely you've seen or heard a lot about 3D printer s lately, because they're one of those holy moly tech gadgets that seem beyond comprehension. We've covered a couple on Cool Mom Tech and Cool Mom Picks, like the Micro 3D Printer a…

As a full-time working mom of three, I can barely remember what I had for lunch today, let alone things my kids did three days ago, which is why I am so glad to have discovered the Heyday app . It's become my automatic rememberer (is tha…

If your kids are like mine, you've heard Let It Go about 1400 times so far, which is why I'm a new fan of LilGadgets Bluetooth wireless headphones , sparing me from hearing the same thing over and over again--all without the wires. We ha…

As an avid Kindle user and very frequent Amazon Prime customer (I'm on a first-name basis with my UPS driver), I was so excited to do a full-on Amazon Fire TV review. After a couple of weeks playing with it so I could really see its capa…

I'm seeing no shortage of Wi-Fi baby monitors popping up and for good reason. The ability to check on your baby with your smartphone or tablet is super convenient. I recently tested out the new D-Link HD Wi-Fi Baby Camera, which gives yo…

Kids are using cell phones now at younger ages, and the options for parent-approved, kid-safe phones are growing, which is why it's not surprising that Sprint is jumping into the ring with their new WeGo cell phone for kids. While there'…

I often have moments when I wish I had Google Maps for items I can't find in my own house. And now, like magic, there's a new digital inventory app called Snupps may make finding your things a lot easier before they're even "lost." While…

I'm excited about the introduction of Gemshare , a brand new recommendations app for iOS that's like a mix of Yelp meets Angie's List meets Travelocity meets your own Facebook network. It lets you create a social network of actual friend…

Although I don't currently have any kids in the learning their ABCs' stage of childhood, I can appreciate a really high quality alphabet app for kids that teaches it well, especially because there are so many out there that aren't great.…

In the past week, two different friends have told me that they're ending their cable TV service and switching to streaming services or online media for their entertainment needs. And when cool online entertainment options pop up, like Pl…

Thanks to my kids' love of Despicable Me 2 , Pharrell Williams' Happy song has basically been on constant repeat in my head for the past month. Then there was World Happiness Day last week (though we're still trying to figure out what th…

We have covered pregnancy apps in the past like We're Pregnant and Sprout , and now the Totally Pregnant app is another awesome one to add to the ranks. As for me, after recently having baby #3, the shop is closed and I'm done, but seein…

My daughter has really honed her drawing ability and has turned into a great little artist. (If I do say so myself.) She even adds the requisite eyelashes to all of her female subjects. While she unleashes a lot of her creative energy wi…

I love when my kids come home from school and excitedly tell me about something fun they did that doesn't include snack, lunch or recess. I love even more when it's a mix of something educational and entertaining that we can all partake …

I love to travel abroad and am lucky to have done quite a bit pre-kids. Because now? Please. Luckily, with the cool new Findery app , I can still uncover known and unknown gems about my dream destination, Paris, and anywhere else in the …

One constant among all my kids is that they loved being swaddled as babies. Though I never considered at the time that there would be such a thing as a QR code swaddle blanket to help me out with this blanket-wrapping art form. With a ne…

As much as I use my phone for list-making and note-taking , there's nothing like a good old Post-it note that just gives you a glaring reminder of things you still need to do. I have Post-it's all over my desk, kitchen and computer. So i…

All hail the new Spoiler Shield app , a mobile app whose time has come. It's very rare that I watch TV in real time these days, and for so many of us, it's all about Roku or DVR--which means we have to dodge all those spoilers on our soc…

Mamas of my generation will immediately recognize the phrase: Mom always said, don't play ball in the house. Funny how decades after those Brady Bunch days, I am still reminded of that phrase every time I see my kids--yeah. Playing ball …

I'm really excited thinking about my future kitchen. It'll have cool things like a smart refrigerator , Wi-Fi enabled appliances , and now, I've learned, a gorgeous Viking Professional 7 Series Range that will sync with my smartphone. A …

I truly cringe whenever I receive my cell phone bill. Usage charges, unlimited data, texting...oof, it adds up. I can see why the search for a good free phone service over WiFi is so important for a lot of people. As for me, my phone is …

You'd think that when baby #3 came along, parenting would be old hat. But...nope. Forgot everything. Rather than comb the Internet for hundreds of different solutions (and I use that term loosely) it's nice to know that expert advice fro…
