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.

Runmeter uses the iPhone’s GPS to track information about a variety of aerobic exercises. It can track your pace, distance and calories burned while running, biking, swimming, walking, hiking, skating, or skiing. The app allows you to set up audio prompts that will play as you exercise. You can adjust how often you hear them and then, when it’s time, your iPod music fades out and you hear a voice in your ear telling you how you’re doing. Another great Runmeter feature is the ability to set up email notifications. You can tell the app to email out a map of your location at certain time or distance intervals. The recipients will receive a link to a google map that shows where you are, which is great for peace of mind.

    Does anyone know if this is at all worth it? There seems to be a few gps tracking applications in the AppStore, but none that worked except one from http://www.gpsnorthamerica.com/gpstracking.php which seems to function up until the 30 day trial is over.
