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.

The Woman’s Day Cooking Assistant app brings you recipes from the editors of the Woman’s Day magazine. The app has a list of featured articles about food with accompanying recipes, and the articles change periodically. As with other recipe apps, you can either type in a keyword to search or you can browse through them by category (Cuisine, Main Ingredient, Holiday Recipes, Budget Recipes, Course, Cooking Method, Quick & Easy and Low-Calorie). Each category has subcategories, and as you narrow down your browsing, you’ll see a variety of different recipes. As you read the recipe you can automatically add the ingredients to a shopping list with a simple tap. You can also add recipes to a favorites list so they’re easily accessible for later. The best feature of this app is the Tips n’ Tools section, which includes all kinds of information and cooking tips. They have a cooking time calculator, information about kitchen tools, tips on vegetable prep, weights and measurements, and an herbs and spices dictionary – a wonderful resource in a free app.
