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.

Potty Predictor works as an aid in your potty training efforts. When you use it for the first week, you’ll keep track of when you are giving your child drinks. Twenty-five minutes after you record a drink, the app will remind you to take your child to the bathroom. If it’s a successful trip, you enter that in, as well as any accidents that might have happened. When you’ve tracked enough information to see a bathroom pattern, you switch the app to prediction mode. Now, based on what you’ve entered over the past days, Potty Predictor will automatically set alarms telling you when you should take your child to the bathroom. You can even see your child’s potty timing trends in bar graphs. Potty Predictor also comes with a virtual sticker book for your child. (The stickers appear after you’ve logged a successful bathroom trip.) This app is helpful if you need reminders and want consistency in your potty-training trips.
