I will admit, I'm a bit of an "app-oholic" :) I love to be organized and I adore things that will do it for me! So, my newfound obsession is with "productivity" apps. These have to do with organizing, list making, planning...helping you to be a "more productive you" app. And, as a mom of two little ones - that I what I need, to fit more productive hours in my day.
These apps also save me money...I don't need an ipod, a Tom Tom, a planner, a weight watchers membership, a cookbook, (my husband is going to laugh at how I am "saving" all this money!)...but seriously, my phone does it all.
p.s. all these apps are FREE!!
Top 5 Mom App Countdown (apps 4 & 5)...
5. Daily Bible - This is a great app for busy moms, waiting in line, waiting in your car, waiting on your kids... you can sneak in a little Bible reading on the go. Read a verse and then share it to your facebook page, twitter account, etc. Also, it has a daily reading plan, devotions and a Bible search. Love it, easy to use and everytime I open it up, I am encouraged!
4. GTracker -stands for Grocery Tracker - I am always at the grocery asking myself...do I have ketchup? cereal? yogurt? Now you can have your answer with you! You inventory your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator by easily scanning the barcode (no typing required!) I don't inventory my fridge, because that would just be too much! Then, as you use items out of your pantry, you just click on the item on your phone and it reduces the count by one. How cool is that??
But, the best part about this app, is you can use it to keep track of grocery store prices...I haven't yet scratched the surface on this app....look at all it does!
Features:
- Multiple shopping lists
- Inventory Management
- Automatic Reorder Lists
- Custom Aisles Sorting per Store
- Price Tracking
- Coupons
- Recipes (Beta)

I have found I can waste more money on groceries than anything else. It is too easy to make impulse purchases...and how am I supposed to remember what is a great price on EVERYTHING that I purchase?? This app is going to help you save money at the grocery store...and this app is free!
In a couple more days, I will put out my next two TOP MOM APPS in the COUNTDOWN...watch for them and enjoy! And if you liked this article - follow this blog, share it on your facebook page & keep coming back!

Wow I'm an app addict myself! I too love productivity apps, esp. those that help me as a mom. By the way, if it's alright, I'd like to recommend one of my current favorite apps, Intuition. Tagged as mom's personal assistant, it's a task management app that has many features designed to help us moms. It's really easy to use and it looks cute, too. Plus, it's free!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Phillippa! I love to hear about new ones. One of my friends just recommended ShopKick to me...they saved $25 at ONE store, just by using it! Love it. Thanks so much for the comment, Kristen
