Added by Pat Williams on April 25, 2012

Mirani, Australia – TheiMum.com, a family-friendly website dedicated to reviewing iOS and Mac apps for children, is pleased to welcome three new reviewers to the team, plus the expansion of free reviews of iOS and Mac apps for children of all ages and abilities.

“I put the word out for some new reviewers, and shortly after I was swamped with requests from mums wanting to write for TheiMum.com. I noticed three people in particular that really went above and beyond with their reviews so I decided to ask them if they would like to become a permanent part of the team and fortunately for me they said yes,” said Amanda Powell, founder of TheiMum.com.

Powell says the four iMums have eleven children between them ranging in age from one to 17 and now bring a global perspective to their app reviews with Amanda being from Australia, Alison is in the United States, Grace is from Singapore and Mary is originally from the UK but is currently living in the United States.

“The iMums’ goal is to educate parents about the variety of iOS and Mac apps available for children of all abilities.” states Mary. “We review all types of apps including dramatic play, art, education, digital stories and games and also try to highlight apps that may suit children with Special Needs.”

As self-confessed app addicts with thousands of apps between them, The iMums test drive apps with their children to find the best ones for their readers and their family. Alison explains, “There are hundreds of thousands of apps in the app store and The iMums’ mission is to find the best of the best and let our readers know about them.”

As well as reviewing apps Powell says the iMums also work with developers Beta testing new apps and giving them feedback and suggestions on how to improve their apps. They also offer several tools to help developers promote their apps and place them in front of their highly targeted audience of parents that frequent the website. These tools include developer interviews, giveaway hosting, press release publishing and the new expedited reviews.

According to the website, The iMums’ efforts were recognised recently when they received a nomination in the Top 25 Tech Moms contest held by a popular online community for mothers, called Circle of Moms. The iMums reportedly took out the number one spot against 59 other great tech-related mum blogs.

“Winning this contest has meant a fantastic amount of exposure for The iMums and the more people that know about us, the more people we can help!” says Grace. The iMums say they have some exciting projects in store for their website including an all new YouTube channel, a chatbox for yet another opportunity to win promo codes and are considering broadening their reviews to include other technology products suitable for children.
