Mighty Smighties App Review

mighty 

Are your kids looking for a fun new game to play? One that is slightly different from others that are out today? The Mighty Smighties app is an interactive card game designed for kids. They can play single player, challenge their friends, or play against other players around the world. Mighty Smighties is compatible with iPhone 4 and up, iPad, and iPod touch devices running iOS 6.0 or later.

mighty4

Before you can begin collecting cards and playing against other players, you customize your own Smighty. There are tons of cool accessories and cute little characters that you can be. My kids had fun dressing up their characters and naming them.

mighty2

The idea of the game is to collect the cards which feature super cute characters. The cards are played against each other, with you hoping that your card’s number or element can beat your opponents card. Defeat your opponent three times and you win the “match.” The elements are really what matters, not the numbers associated with the cards.

mighty3
Playing in the quest mode you change between three stages; normal, power, and epic. This is how you unlock new areas and get further in the game. These stages throw a little randomness into the mix, allowing you to boost your cards powers temporarily.

mighty5 
In each mode, players have a 30 second time limit to select the card from their deck they choose to play. This keeps the matches moving along pretty quickly and adds some excitement and fun to the game.

PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
Challenge your friends and players around the world to real-time card battles.


COLLECT!
Collect all the rare Smighty cards and build the ultimate card deck.


CUSTOMIZE!
Create your very own Smighty hero with countless possibilities.


POWER UP!
Boost your cards in the fun and fast-paced Power Up! match 3 puzzle game.


MASTER THE QUESTS!
Journey through the Mighty Smighty world map in three awesome single player modes: Normal, Power and Epic!


COMPETE!
Rise in the leaderboards and become the most famous Mighty Smighty! Receive amazing prizes for being the best of your friends!


Important Considerations
Some game play requires a Wi-Fi or 3G connection. The Mighty Smighties game is free to download and play. This app includes the option for adults to purchase in game items with real money to enhance game play, ranging from $0.99 to $34.99 USD (or equivalent amount in the applicable regional currency). You may disable in-app purchases by adjusting your device settings. iOS will keep you logged on for 15 minutes after an initial in-app purchase. Additional purchases won’t require a re-entry of your password during this 15-minute interval. This is a function of the iOS software and not within our control.

The game is free to download for your PC, IPod, Iphone, and Ipad. Get it here

Once you download and let your kids play, let me know what they think. My kids loved the bright colors and cute characters!

Kinivo WID340 Dual Band Wireless N USB Adapter

kinivo n the box

Disclosure: The items mentioned in this post were sent for review purposes only; all opinions are completely honest.

The Kinivo WID340 is an 802.11n wireless USB adapter that allows you to connect to 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks with blazing fast speeds up to 300 Mbps. The WID340 is perfect for connecting computers wirelessly to home routers or wireless networks. This product is even great for those of you who have WiFi built into your laptops, but would like to add an improved signal and range.

  • Blazing fast wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps with 802.11n and channel bonding
  • Dual band support for connecting to all 802.11g/b/n 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks
  • Get improved signal, range and fast speeds for your WiFi. It's easy to setup - plug in, install drivers, and use.
  • Compatible with Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista
  • WEP, WPA and WPA2 (TKIP+AES) encryption for security

My Review*

The Kinivo Wireless WID340 comes with the USB stick, software CD, and PDF instructions. I didn’t need the instructions, because it’s super simple to install. Put the Mini CD (works like a regular CD) inside your CD rom and run the software. Plug the Kinivo Wireless USB into your USB drive and you’re done. Nothing complicated and my internet speed instantly worked 10x better.

Most of you know that I had to get a new laptop after my Toshiba crashed in August. I didn’t have a lot of spending money at the time with school supplies being needed as well. So I chose the Asus Compu 15.6 Notebook, which I deeply regret at this point.

The most frustrating feature of the computer is the wireless capabilities. Somehow the software (windows) blocks the signal of the Wi-Fi. Before I was sent the Kinivo Wireless N USB Adapter, I was struggling just to get work done. I had NO internet more than I had internet. That was horrid because I WORK online. Not being able to access anything was driving me crazy.

The Kinivo Wireless N USB Adapter has truly saved my sanity. As long as the Adapter is plugged in, I get internet access. The only problem is that the computers USB adapters are very loose, and I’ve only had this computer for 3 months. So, as long as I can get the USB port to work, I’m good with getting a connection.

I am super impressed with this Wireless USB adapter. It connects to Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, XP, MAC, and Linux. This small adapter has seriously been my lifeline to getting work done. Without it my computer will hardly pick up the internet! With it, there has been no dropped signals at all. It boosts WiFi signal immediately after being plugged in.

I recommend you purchasing the Kinivo WID340. No more dropped WiFi signal to the computer right in the middle of a movie, project, or download. The Kinivo adapter helps your computer connect, even if you couldn't get a slight connect before.


Key Features
- Speeds up to 300Mbps: Supports wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps with 802.11n and channel bonding enabled wireless access points
- Dual Band: Compatible with all 802.11g/b/n 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks - Security encryption using WEP, WPA and WPA2 (TKIP+AES)

4 Ways to Get the Most Affordable Smartphones

affordable smartphones

Smartphones have become an important part of American life, but affording the latest trends can come at a hefty blow to a consumer’s wallet. Thankfully there are a few ways for people to afford the latest smartphones, regardless if they are on a tight budget or have eco-friendly concerns. 

From no-contract cell phone plans to recycling programs, here are 4 simple ways to get an affordable smartphone:

1. Purchase a No-Contract Cell Phone Plan: GIV Mobile is the first affordable phone service to give away a FREE Android Smartphone with the purchase of their two-month "Unlimited Everything Plan" which starts at $35/month. Running on the reliable T-Mobile network, GIV Mobile’s plans include talk, text, and 4G LTE data, all while donating 8% of every customer’s monthly bill to charities of their choice such as Alzheimer’s Association, The Conservation Fund, PetSmart Charities and more.

2. Recycle an Old Cell Phone: Verizon Wireless rewards customers for every cell phone or electronic device recycled. The process is easy, customers can either go online to send in their device or go into a store and have their device appraised.  Within 30 days the customer will receive a Verizon Wireless electronic gift card that can then be used towards an updated smartphone.

3. Buy an Unlocked Cell Phone: Gazelle can be a great place to shop for unlocked cell phones which are not attached to any specific carrier and instead run on a GSM cellular network using SIM cards. Their flexibility makes them a smart option for international travelers or those who don’t want any type of commitment. Also, no-contract companies like PTel sell the latest smartphones and offer cell phone service plans separately, with their plans starting at only $20/month.

4. Lease Your Phone: Much like leasing a car, Sprint is offering a new option called the “iPhone for Life Plan,” which allows consumers to lease an iPhone 6 with no money down for $20/month.  After two years, the customer can choose to turn in the iPhone for a new one or the latest Apple device. While customers will end up paying almost the full purchase price of the phone in the long run, it allows those who can’t quite afford to make the investment all at once the ability to keep up with technology on a budget.

GIV Mobile: BLU Advance 4.0 Android Smartphone with Everything Unlimited Plan

giv mobile post

Disclosure: Products mentioned in this post were provided for review purposes only. Opinions are completely honest.

Giv Mobile announced they are giving away an Android Smartphone when an unlimited everything plan is purchased. The phone is the BLU Advance 4.0 Android Smartphone, which is an awesome entry level Android Smartphone with a multitude of features.

20141003_145151 20141003_145614

Design: The Advance 4.0 has a vibrantly dynamic 4” touch display. The phone displays images very nice and bright. Images are easily seen, except when tilted at an up/down angle. When it’s slightly tilted the screen looks washed out. It doesn’t do this when tilted sideways, so I don’t know what causes it.

The phone comes with a clear case and screen protector. There is 4 GB of internal memory; 1.27GB of space for apps (the other 2.72GB is for the Android OS). That isn’t much but space can definitely be upgraded with an inserted SD card. When you pair it with an SD card (which most people do), internal memory doesn’t really matter. Take the back off and under the battery there are three slots; two for SIM cards, the other for a mini-SD memory card.

Performance: The MediaTek chip and 512mb of RAM doesn’t have the same get-up-and-go as a flagship phone, but for daily use this performs quickly and efficiently. The phone is loaded with what is basically stock Jelly Bean, which is great. Multitasking is a breeze; I can check my email, update my twitter, and listen to music all at the same time.

I listen to a lot of music on my phone, continuously read emails, and occasionally watch videos on Youtube- and this phone hasn’t failed me once. The phone is downloaded with all the apps that I needed, with no extra junk to have to remove. I appreciated that very much. Usually I have to go through and delete a few, but I didn’t this time. The Play Store is all ready so you can download extra apps such as Facebook or games.

Every game that I downloaded from the Play Store worked very well. There was absolutely no freezing or re-loading. The Gmail app that came downloaded with the phone is a lifesaver. You can make the setting so that it dings when new emails pop-up. The emails came through as soon as they were sent, even when the Gmail app on my Samsung S4 would not.

Connectivity: Reception for cell and data are, of course, entirely dictated by location. The closer you are to towers, the stronger the signal is. The Advance 4.0’s Wi-Fi signal is very strong, even better than my Nokia Lumia Icon. I can get the Advance 4.0 to connect in places that the Lumia wouldn’t even think about connecting.

It will even let me connect to my neighbors wi-fi through two houses and about 45 feet. Data connectivity is flawless - both on wifi and 3g (the phone is compatible with HSPA+) and ping was good per Speedtest.

Battery: The Advance 4.0 comes with a 1600mah battery. With the MediaTek chip, the battery should last a very long time. To test the batteries life-span I streamed music via iHeartRadio via WiFi to my Sol Republic Bluetooth Wireless Speaker (which is a double battery drainer). I also watched some videos, checked my email, downloaded apps, and browsed the web.

I was on the phone ALL day then left it on all night without charging. It was also streaming music while I slept, and when I woke up there was still a 23% battery life. For a cheaper Smartphone, this one is phenomenal.  Of course, I wouldn’t NORMALLY be on the phone ALL day streaming music and downloading stuff. There’s no way the battery is going to completely die unless you forget to charge it for long periods of time.

To be eligible for the offer- sign up for either a $40 or a $50 two-month Everything Unlimited plan. The plan comes with unlimited text (which includes global texts), voice and data. The $40 plan includes 250MB 4G/3G data, while the $50 plan gives you 2 gigs monthly at 4G/3G speeds.

Paired with GIV Mobile’s “Unlimited Everything” service that starts at only $29/month plan, it is not only an affordable gift, but the receiver can choose up to three charities such as the Alzheimer's Association, Kids in Need Foundation, American Forests and more to receive 8% of their bill every month.

Sparkup Magical Book Reader

20141030_152504

   Disclosure: The items in this post were given for review purposes only; all opinions expressed are completely honest and 100% my own.

I am and have always been an avid reader. I love reading wanted to share that love of learning with my children as well. They love sitting down to hear new stories and meet new characters, so I knew thee Sparkup Book Reader would be perfect for us. I thought it would be an fun way to make memories, while building their love of learning.

     20141030_152437

The Sparkup Book Reader is a very cool innovative reading device that clips onto the back any picture book and reads it aloud. Our reader came with two books; Shrek & Tikki Tikki Tembo. The books came pre-recorded, but I love that I could re-record the books in my voice to make it personal to my kids. It can store up to 50 books (or 250 minutes of audio), which I love.

The Sparkup reader also comes with a USB cord. The USB lets you download pre-recorded books from the Sparkup website or upload what you’ve recorded to your computer. Once you’ve uploaded the books you’ve recorded, they can be sent via email. This is an amazing feature for sending your parents books being read by your child. Great keepsake material right there! :)

20141030_180338

Sparkup has a tiny camera attached to the front. It captures a picture of the front cover and each individual page then stores it in it’s memory. Each time that book is connected after it’s recorded- the Sparkup automatically starts reading the book. I love that it doesn’t read too fast or too slow-it follows their lead, reading as they turn the pages. It will even read pages out of order which is pretty amazing!

1  3

I had never heard of the Sparkup reader until recently. It immediately caught my eye. It teaches and encourages kids comprehensive reading skills, growing confident in reading independently. Aidan (7) has been doing an amazing job at reading this year, while Adisyn (5) is just beginning to learn. He started A.R. (Accelerated Reading) in his 2nd grade class. This is where they quiz the kids on what they’ve learned from the books they’ve read.

I love that I can record his A.R. books and he can re-read them as many times as he needs/wants to. Memorization and repetition, as well as interaction is what helps kids remember what they’ve been reading. We read it together a couple of times, while I ask him “what are they doing?”, “What did he do wrong?” Stuff like that (depending on the story).. Then I record it and let him re-play it.

My kids can now pick up a book from their “Spark-up” collection and read by themselves. They can sit in their “reading corner” and enjoy their books whenever they wish. It made my kids love reading even more, because it brings life and interaction into their books. It helps build their imagination and reading comprehension, while also helping build their confidence. We will definitely be adding more books to our collection!

Story time together as a family is magical. We can now take turns recording different character voices and our own sound-effects to any book. They can then go back and listen to themselves reading, which they love. Or we can download professionally recorded stories, complete with sound effects, directly from the Sparkup website.

If you have a child learning how to read or just want to give them something to help them learn, this would be a perfect gift!

Eddie Bauer Adventurer Backpack Review #2013HolidayGiftGuide

eddie bauerdiclosure-review giveaway

This is one of Eddie Bauer’s most favored daypacks, and I can totally see why. The Eddie Bauer Adventurer Backpack has everything I‘ve been looking for. It is big enough for all of my necessary items, is lightweight, has tons of pockets, and comes in a variety of colors! I can easily carry this backpack around with me all day without it being uncomfortable.

image

The adventurer backpack is extremely durable and dependable. I don’t have to worry about a strap breaking, a zipper snapping off, or it not having the strength to hold my laptop. It is one of the largest backpacks that they make. It’s built for someone who needs a strong, durable backpack that will meet their needs for years to come!

WP_004408

It has numerous features that make it comfortable and useful, even when the backpack is fully loaded down. The back panel is made out of padded air mesh and foam. This helps keep the majority of the weight from being right on my spine. It is actually relaxing the way that it molds to my back and keeps my laptop or binders from poking me in the back.

The contoured shoulder straps definitely are a MAJOR bonus. Most backpacks don’t offer padded shoulder straps and it shows within the first hour. Without the padding my shoulders would start burning and aching from all the pain. With these straps, I feel absolutely no pain at all because the padding shields my shoulders! They are adjustable too, which makes the backpack even more comfortable.

WP_004434
This backpack also comes with a sternum strap & stowable waist belt. This is what hiking backpacks use to keep the waist balanced off your back. Genius idea, it really helps when you have a heavy load and have a long way to walk to class or if you have to wear it for a long time.

image

It also has a safety whistle on the sternum strap. The sternum and waist straps definitely make the load seem 10 times lighter when the weight is shifted and balanced, not just put on your shoulders and back. The waist belt is able to be hidden and tucked away inside the backpack, so that isn’t dangling or getting in the way when it isn’t in use.

WP_004423

I love that there are various zipper compartments in a variety of places. This includes a zipper compartment that allows direct access to my laptop. I can slip my laptop in and out of this compartment with ease. I can write while waiting at the doctor, at the park, or wherever and I don’t have to fight with getting the laptop in the main compartment with all my binders and papers! It is just so convenient and makes it easy to get stuff done!

WP_004415

I love that the backpack comes with a Velcro strip to secure my laptop inside very easily. This isn’t an easy task when you have a 17’ laptop. I looked everywhere for a backpack or even carrying case for a 17’ and couldn’t find one of good quality until now. This holds my laptop with ease and secures it. I love the fact that it’s padded as well. It keeps my laptop safe from slight bangs or bumps if someone accidentally knocks into me, or knocks my backpack over!

WP_004419

  I love how spacious the main compartment is. I can easily put my laptop, 2 full sized binders, a couple notebooks, and some books without having trouble zipping it up. It’s very roomy and definitely has more space than a normal backpack! I don’t have to decide between this binder or that one, I can carry it all!

WP_004426WP_004416WP_004418WP_004417

Inside the second compartment is a lot of extra space to fit everything I need to carry with me at all times. I can put my pens in the pen slots and unused index cards in the bigger zipper compartment. I can put my SD cards and USB flash drives in the mesh compartment on the side. My keys on the key fob, and my index cards I’ve written notes on along with my business cards in the smaller card slots!

WP_004428WP_004424

On one side of the backpack is a mesh drink compartment. I can store my Cool Gear Canned drink, a 20’ coke, or a water bottle. That way my hands are always free, I really like that. I also like that I don’t have to worry about the drink sweating on the stuff inside my backpack. The outside keeps the stuff on the inside safe from the condensation. On the other side is a hidden compartment where you can hide your credit card/debit card/money or whatever!

WP_004427

The outer mesh compartment can be used for anything and everything. During spur of the moments, I usually push my jacket or sweater inside of it. It can be used for smaller notebooks, more supplies (pencils, pens, sketchbook, reading book, tablet).

WP_004435WP_004430WP_004434

I am IN LOVE with this backpack! I love everything about it. Especially the fact that they have so many color options. Usually I can’t find a backpack that has my favorite color on it (lime green) and wa-lah! Eddie Bauer hit the spot!

Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 Generation 3 Flash Drive Tech Review

clip_image001diclosure-review giveaway

I have never said this before, but I have fallen madly in love with a USB Flash Drive. YES, I said it! The Kingston DataTraveler Ultimate 3.0 G3 64 GB is all around AMAZING ! I’ve been in some very bad situations because of USB flash drives that didn’t hold up to their promise/standard, so I was happy to be introduced to one that did!

I am a collector, a learner, and have TONS of information that I download on a daily basis. I have to have flash drives that meets my requirements. I can’t have it flunking out on me once I’ve stored all my information on it, WHICH has happened! I ended up going to Wal-Mart last year and buying 4 USB flash drives that were 32GB a piece (as well as 2 16GB SD Cards and a 32 GB SD Card). The cards ALL still work perfectly, but NOT one of those USB flash drives do.

image
You know where I made my mistake? Buying those that were plastic and had a retractable tip. That’s all they had left when I went shopping though, and I didn’t think anything about it. THIS (the picture above) isn’t the brand of USB drive that I bought. I just wanted to show you what I was talking about. It’s the push/pull in/out USB Drive. After awhile of using them they kept getting harder and harder to flip out. Then there were MORE issues as the tip was coming lose from the inside of the flash drive and would BARELY connect at all to my computer.

This is what left me in a sticky situation. See, I downloaded EVERYTHING to all my USB drives. This not only saves space and memory on your computer but it helps with the speed. Once you download so much stuff, your computer is basically going to bog down with information and there is no memory left for other stuff.

One day I woke up and was determined to revamp my blog and create an entirely new layout and design. I got the USB drive out, inserted it, and NOTHING! It wouldn't connect for the life of me! I managed to sneak a peek inside and sure enough the USB port was disconnecting from the frame! Did I mention that BEFORE I had these issues, I’d sit for quite some trying to coax them to download my stuff in a quicker manner? S.L.O.W

WP_003882

NOW—onto the Kingston DataTaveler Ultimate G3 64 GB USB 3.0
I will never have to worry about this one disconnecting from the frame for absolutely ANY reason. It isn’t cheaply made, so there isn’t any room for it to start unhinging itself from the inside. It is built with quality and happiness of the product in mind—not making it as cheaply as possible. Instead of the cheap plastic the others are made of, Kingston has made nothing but the absolute BEST! The DataTraveler is built with a inflexible brushed aluminum casing, and the looks are definitely not deceiving! It definitely protects the USB from getting broke or getting dirt/dust in it!

In the box:
  • 1 Data Traveler Ultimate 3.0
  • 1 key ring tie
  • 1 Set warranty in 3 languages
This is brilliance bundled into a USB Flash Drive. This sweet piece of machinery has tons of space on it. You can store tons of data files, pictures, media files, powerpoints, huge zip files.. whatever it may be that you find Important and don’t want to lose—there’s more than adequate space for it on the DataTraveler.

I hate to say this, but I lost almost all my craft tutorials (sewing, crochet, simple crafts for the kids). I had all of them stored on one of the USB flash drives that messed up on me, and there was nothing I could do. I am happy to say that even though I had to start over, the DataTraveler is holding out quite nicely.

image
I spent more than 3 hours the other day re-copying and downloading files to the Datatraveler. This is all stuff that is going to help me grow my crafting business in the long-run. I love the fact that I have room for all the know-how (nitty gritty craft stuff), the business aspect of starting a business, plus taxes and all I need to know about the craft market. All those files I downloaded haven’t even used 1 GB of memory yet! I am SO excited that I have so much more room for other stuff!

I don’t have to search and store on separate USB files anymore, which is SO awesome for me! I can even store a ton of already made mini DVD slideshows that I make that showcases my work. How awesome is that? To have that much quality and space at the same time?

Not to mention how durable it is. I really REALLY put this one to the test. I put it in my pocket and sit on it (didn’t break), clipped it on my keychain (still there), and even left it in my computer for more than 2 days (all the files are still there).

Truly, what amazed me the most is the quickness and accurateness that it transferred the files I was sending to it. How many times have I sit there and watched the progress bar slip slowly by and think to myself “how much slower can you get?” That’s something you’ll never have to say about the DataTraveler. It transfers very large files without any issues at all in the snap of a finger. KA-BAM, and all your stuff is in one spot and ready to GO!

I am definitely thinking about buying a second one for my blog/writing stuff. I have tons of PDF’s, Ebooks, and Word documents that need to go with me on Blog Conferences. The DataTraveler will make it so much easier if I have to work on someone else’s laptop or computer while I am there. If a blogger needs help with a certain “subject” or if I need to download something—It’s all right there with me.

Powerful transfer speeds up to 150MB/s read and 70MB/s write. It's up to 8x faster than a USB 2.0 drive. I no longer had to sit and watch as time was slowly ticking by.. this had the data/images flying by. Everything was super quick. If you look above, the transfer of a 12 GB HD Movie would take almost 48 Minutes with a USB 2.0 Drive, yet it’s 8 times faster transferring with the DataTraveler at 5 minutes.
