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.

Better Gift List gives you a place to plan, budget and track all of your gift shopping. It’s easy to navigate and use and packs in plenty of features. You enter the event and date (birthdays, Father’s Day, Hanukkah, etc.), select a budget and add additional notes. Then you record the gifts you’re planning to purchase for the event. The app gives you a place to include a picture of the gift and its price. You can mark if the gift needs to be purchased, is purchased or has already been given. Once you’ve entered in events and gifts, you can view the things that are upcoming and see how you’re doing on your list and budget. Better Gift List allows you to email out the list and set a passcode for the app so your children don’t sneak any peeks. Three of my children and my husband all have birthdays within the span of a month, and then there’s the chaos of Christmas. Having an app to help me keep track of it all (including what I’m spending) is a huge help.
