MotionPHRis one of the most

Selmah1 — Sun, 24 May 2009 14:19:39 -0500

MotionPHRis one of the most useful iphone apps I've tried so far. It isn't free but it's well worth the $9.99 price. Ihave two kids and I can keep track of my whole families medicalinformation. When I go to the pharmacy or the doctor, I take it withme. It even keeps up with the prescription #, pharmacy phone #and can even send me reminders on my iPhone. Schoolathletics forms are a lot easier because I keep all the dates of thekids immunizations right on my iPhone. I don't have toworry about security because all the data is encrypted. For methat's a key to wanting to carry it around.

I read somewhere the price of the iphone service plan is going to drop about 5 dollars a month if that's any help. Probably not, I personally think they should really make a more sincere effort to make it more affordable.

I tried it...

I tried Yowza! in the super retail district of Nashua, NH, there were no coupons that showed up. Oh well, I deleted the app.

what a great app

I am going to get this app right away and give it a try. It sounds great. The fact that is pulls in relevant coupons for you locally is going to save me some cash for sure.

Interesting!

So do you just show the retailer the coupon on the phone? Interesting app -- I'll have to download it and try it out!

Thanks for the tip!

Trying out Yowza

kayobe — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 13:46:10 -0500

I just got my iPhone and I'm already madly in love with it. It's making my life easier as I am a work-from-home consultant who isn't crazy about being home so much when spring has finally sprung here in the northeast. Being able to get online and answer emails while being out and about means I'm technically 'working' and I'm loving that.

I installed Yowza because I'm a huge Target fan. I'm there almost every week. There's one just 2 miles from my house and several within the 15 mile limit. Unfortunately none of them show up in my list.The Container Store appears as does Saks and Finish Line. I don't shop at Saks (too expensive) and I'm not sure what Finish Line is. Next time I head to the Container Store (which is not too often) I'll give it a try.

I'm hoping they'll roll out this to all Targets soon. This is something I would totally use.

coupons are a con

you get a discount on a price that is marked up for the coupon!

This doesn't even out the playing field. It only cons you into coupons used by large box stores that offer them.

oh my gah

I hate my iphone.

Compared to my treo it sucks. The keypad is hideous and the only reason I keep it around is for the shazam to discover new music.

Iphone is great if you have a leisure life but for business, stick to a real phone.

Mac is for play....

I love coupons!

moonfever0 — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:06:55 -0500

Thanks for the tip. I've heard of other services that are not free for the iPhone, but I'm willing to try this one!

Yup, me too.

I am oh-so-addicted to the kindle for iPhone app. Moreso to the free book preview feature than anything. It's like browsing a bookstore, but on my couch. Or in the middle of the night nursing the baby. Or stuck in traffic. Genius. (And every once in awhile, I buy something.)

Great idea

OK, it just took getting used to

Successfully read The Graveyard Book yesterday.

I still don't like the thumb placement but it's become minor rather than major, and I've realized I can check to see what page I'm on. I can use this!

Graveyard Book was ideal for Kindle because a) I didn't want to put it down and b) I didn't want it to end, hence didn't want to always know what page I was on. (The obverse of feeling a sense of place in a page book is that dread as you near the end of something you love.)

and my books are sad about it - nothing destroyed just dirty. but that reminds me, I am using the occasion to purge some books and I think I will release a few into the wild and go hunting for something new this weekend. fun!

iPhones are tricky that way - our coworker here lost his inside his car (slipped into a tiny opening that led right to the vehicular innards) and had to go to the mechanic to basically turn it over and shake it out. I myself have a habit of answering my powder compact.

:) sooo funny

Tre - — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:03:51 -0500

Yep.

In ways I do. Take after her. More ways than I care to admit actually.

But in other ways she swears I"m just like her and I'm all NO WAY :)

REally need to blog "Mom and me" b/c there are sooo many adlib ridiculous funny things that send most daughters/moms off not speaking for years but we just always figure out a way to make up...(translation: i apologize for stuff I haven't done wrong)....sometimes tho she does too.

I watched Terms of Endearment the other night and we are sooo very much like those two: Debra Winger and Shirley McClain. Wow I forgot how incredible that movie was on so many levels.

You got it re: book titles.

I wanna read. period. So I'll probably be the sponge that says "okay...okay" to whatever's suggested.

Are you serious about the Kindle name?

And not to switch topics yet again..but do you use Tweetie ..the iphone app for twitter?
