Top 50 Food Apps for Moms
Whether you're placating hungry kiddos, planning the week's menu, or getting ready for an all-too-rare date night, you're constantly answering the question: What's for dinner? Luckily, with its ability to keep you organized, map store routes, and gather reviews and recipes in seconds, your smartphone was built to solve this daily dilemma.
For Babble's roundup of the top 50 iPhone, iPad, and Android food apps for moms, we tried to cover the range of food-related thinking: from grocery shopping to meal preparation, all the way to food allergies and other dietary specifics that might be concerns for your family. In the end we were happy to find that many of our picks were available across not just the iPhone and iPad, but also the Android - because, unlike smartphone preferences, the love of a good meal is universal. We've broken down our top 50 food apps by category, price, and platform (iPhone, iPad, Android, or all of the above). We tried to find free versions of the apps wherever possible, but the truth is, many free apps either include ads or limit the number of features you can use. So if the paid version of an app felt stronger, then that's the app we recommended. We hope you have as much fun checking these out as we did testing them.

BigOven
Primarily a vehicle for the foodie social network of the same name, BigOven serves up a searchable database of 170,000-plus user-rated recipes to ensure that you always have something delicious for dinner. Join the free BigOven community, and the app gets a lot more interesting. You can save favorite recipes to sync with your home computer, create a “Try Soon” list for recipes you’re dying to make, and rate and comment on your own and others’ recipes. Join BigOven PRO, and you get access to everything the network has available, including a grocery-list creator, nutrition information, and the ability to keep your top-secret recipes private from the wider BigOven community. Given that other apps offer the same features at no charge, the $15.99 PRO membership feels steep, but we do like that you can test-drive the full version before committing.
