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.

SitorSquat: Bathroom Finder

I think every parent knows how important it is to be aware of what bathrooms are nearby when you’re out and about. We’ve probably all been in those situations where you hear a request for a bathroom from the backseat and you find yourself pushing the speed limit trying to find one in time. We’ve also probably all had to stop somewhere and found ourselves telling our children not to touch anything because the restroom isn’t the cleanest one we’ve seen. SitorSquat: Bathroom Finder lets you know what bathrooms are nearby. They’ll show up on a map based on your current location, and you can see which ones are open as well as read reviews from actual restroom users. Restrooms have ratings and photographs so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before you stop. I especially appreciate that the app also notes which restrooms have changing stations. According to the app store, SitorSquat is billed as a “wiki for recording and accessing bathroom information globally.” The information is supplied by app users, so the more people contributing information, the easier it will be to find clean restrooms nearby.
