Today is Mother’s Day, the day each year that we dedicate to honoring our mothers, without whom none of us would exist. As many of our mothers join the smartphone revolution and less ‘dumb’ phones are available as upgrade options, we power users should get used to setting up smartphones and tablets for our parents. And since summertime is when US carriers tend to offer the best upgrade deals, now might be a good time to go over some of the most crucial apps for the busy moms in our lives.
This list is in no way meant to be comprehensive since everyone has different needs, but after some light market research these apps stood out as mom-friendly. Let’s dive in, shall we?
1) Evernote
Moms everywhere should be using Evernote. With the ability to make quick ordered lists, check lists, to-do lists, and notes-to-self; Evernote is an organizational tool that everyone can take advantage of. The concept is no doubt familiar by now; upload and edit notes on your device, those notes are synced and shared across all the platforms and devices you have. Moms can take advantage of Evernote for things like task lists, grocery lists, gift lists, ingredient lists for recipes, and a host of other uses. Those functions are enhanced by Evernote’s ability to add pictures, web page clippings, video, and sound to notes—making Evernote one of the most versatile note-taking apps available, and a must have for any on-the-go mom.
