iPhone Apps for Moms

Top 50 iPhone Apps for Moms


About a week after I began using my iPhone, I was in love. I had a calendar with me at all times, and I was able to stay on top of my family's schedule - even though there are six of us! I had email access while I was out, so I wasn't constantly playing catch up with PTO business in the evening. And then I discovered apps! With these programs, I could track my baby's feeding schedule, my family's illnesses, and my attempts at exercise. And there were apps that could help keep my children entertained and educated! My iPhone was quickly becoming a vital tool that made my busy mom life more manageable.

In January 2009 I began a website, The iPhone Mom, dedicated to helping moms find apps that could do the same for them. Since beginning the site, I've seen both the quantity and quality of useful apps for moms grow.

Babble.com asked me to put together a list of my Top 50 iPhone Apps for Moms. Here, in descending order, are my favorites and the ones I think you'll find most useful.

With the Allrecipes.com Dinner Spinner you can search through thousands of recipes from the allrecipes.com website. The app lets you perform a traditional search and you can filter your results to show specific types of recipes (vegan, no wheat, low fat, etc.). Or you can use the app’s spinner and line up different categories to see what you’ll get with different combinations. The categories are dish type, ingredients and ready in (meaning cooking time). The app will take the categories you’ve selected and match them to recipes. The recipes are rated and reviewed by users and come with a list of ingredients, easy to follow instructions and nutritional information. If you’d like to shake things up a bit you can choose to randomly spin the spinner and see what surprise recipes you’re given. All of this is provided in the free version of Dinner Spinner but there is also a Pro Version that gives you complete access to the recipes on the allrecipes.com website. The Pro Version also features a recipe box, shopping lists and the ability to change the serving sizes on any of the recipes. Dinner Spinner is a fun way to change up the family dinner menu and try out some new meal ideas.
