The Top iPhone Apps for Parents

Raising a family is huge job for one or even two parents.  They need all the assistance they can get and some of the top iPhone apps for parents can lend a helping hand.  I’ve made a list of the top iPhone apps to recommend to parents.  These apps have been voted by parents as the most helpful in their everyday lives.  Have fun browsing them and be sure to check out my overall Top iPhone Apps list!

Chef
Cooking will be a breeze with easy recipes that are posted by users of the Chefslittlehelper.com website.  Chef allows parents to use these nifty recipes from the site to provide their family with healthy meals.  This iPhone app helps parents cook quick and easy dishes at home.

Fresh Deals
Fresh Deals is one of the must have iPhone apps for parents on a tight budget.  This iPhone app works by consolidating deals from 15 different websites which helps locate the most up-to-date bargains around.  It works great and only displays new and valid deals as it differentiates them from the old bargains.  This app costs only 99 cents and is a great way for parents to find good bargains.

House Hunter
Many new parents are on the look out for a new home for their growing family.  This iPhone app can help them find the right home.  House Hunter allows the user to take photos of the house and organizes them with the rest of their real estate information.  It even has an email support feature built in.  This makes it easy to email all of the House Hunter’s stored information about a potential house to anyone.

Home Sizer
By using this iPhone app, parents who want to do some home decorating by themselves can readily estimate the length and size of the decorating materials needed.  Home Sizer is an app that can save a lot of time in estimating and also may prevent unnecessary arguments about how much material is needed for a room.  For $2.99, this app can really be a parent helper.

Rocket Taxi
This is another iPhone app that is ideal for parents, especially those with growing kids and jobs.  With this app, the user is able to locate and contact the nearest taxi company easily.  This means getting back home faster to the kids.  This iPhone app is also a great resource to have around for any garden-variety emergency where a ride is needed as soon as possible.

eBay
Most parents want to get the most out of their money.  One way to do that is by buying stuff on eBay.  With the eBay iPhone app, checking bids often and from anywhere is super easy.  This iPhone app is particularly helpful when trying to avoid being outbid or “sniped” at the last second. 

Baby Cam
Any mom who has to get her baby to smile for the perfect camera shot faces a huge challenge.  But not to worry, Baby Cam can play one of the app's fifteen prerecorded sound effects (doorbells, drums, bells, or one of the few nursery rhymes) to help.  Baby Cam costs only $0.99, but is really one of the must have iPhone apps for eager photographer moms.

Bug Squash Lite
To help keep toddlers entertained on long car rides, try an iPhone game like Bug Squash Lite.  Tapping the display screen is all that needs to be done to squish cute bugs as they skitter across the screen.  The more bugs squashed, the more points awarded.  A fun feature of this iPhone game is the background can be changed by simply uploading a photo.  This game is free; but the faster, more intense paid version called Bug Squash is a great buy at just $0.99.

aSleep Kids Edition and White Noise
The challenge of putting kids to sleep during naptime just got easier. 

The aSleep Kids Edition app includes a timer plus a choice of 15 lullabies.  If music doesn’t do the trick, download the White Noise app to play ambient sound effects like an oscillating air fan, an airplane or even a rainstorm.  Simply choose the noises wanted, set the volume and then adjust the shutoff timer. 

Both of these Top iPhone Apps for Parents are great buys as aSleep Kids Edition costs $0.99 while White Noise is $1.99.
