While it is true that you can waste a lot of time using apps, there are some positive things that can also be said. There are loads of apps that can help to make your life easier. If you are a busy mom, you are going to love these apps that will help you with everything from health care to sending out cards.

1. Happy Kids Timer

As your kids grow, it is important to get them into daily routines that have them doing a lot of things for themselves without being constantly supervised, such as getting dressed, brushing their teeth, etc. They can use this app themselves to create a morning routine, and they will love the music and animations.

2. VarageSale

If you have stuff to get rid of, this is the app for you. It lets you sell items locally right through your phone, and you can sell anything from clothing to toys to gadgets and more. This is a great way to declutter your home, and make some extra money while you’re at it.

3. Continuous Care

This is a great app that lets you have everything health-related all in one place. Use this app to store appointments and medical records, talk to real health care specialists, monitor ongoing treatments for yourself or family members, and more. If your doctor offers a Virtual Practice, you can also use the app for video consultations.

4. Postino

Keep in touch with everyone with adorable postcards you make yourself through Postino. Create thank-you cards, birthday cards, get well cards, and more, and all it will cost is postage to send them off. This is more personal than sending emails, and it’s a lot more fun.

5. Sell iPhone

This is a great app to have when you are looking to make extra cash. If you have an older model iPhone that you no longer need, you can sell it at Gadget Salvation. They will sell it to someone who needs it, and you can have money to upgrade to a newer model.

6. Shop Savvy

As a busy parent, it can be tough to save money. This app lets you compare prices online and between stores in your neighborhood. There are over 22 million products in the system, so chances are you will be able to get a comparison on most things that you scan, and save a lot of money.

7. Ink Cards

Here is another app that lets you send actual cards that you create. Everyone loves to get something besides bills and advertising in the mail, and it’s not considered old-fashioned to mail out greetings to those you care about. The app lets you customize cards and send the out easily.

8. Mom Maps

Are you looking for new, fun places to take the kids when you want to spend quality time together? This app can help. It will give you a list of all of the best places in your area to hang out, including parks, playgrounds, restaurants, and museums. You will see addresses, directions, reviews, contact info, and more.

9. Fake-a-Call Free

There are likely going to be times when you are out with the kids, and you run into someone you just don’t want to be around, such as that mom who drives everyone nuts. This app can be programmed to call you at a specific time so you can pretend that you have to leave right away. You don’t have to explain anything more than the fact that you just received a call and you have to leave.
