Best Apps for Parents
While the latest tablets and smartphones have been embraced by children around the world, there’s nothing to say that such gadgets can’t be deemed useful for parents as well. There are thousands of apps that cater for almost any need. The following apps are tailored for parents and each has its own specific use.
Intuition+: Mom’s Personal Assistant
There’s no question that being a mother is a full time job, and the Intuition+ app looks to make the daily chaos of parenting life more manageable. The app allows parents to make lists and use a calendar to organise events that are presented in an easy-to-follow layout. The app will even notify those who are near a location that corresponds to an activity on their to-do list.
iHomeopathy
Of course, it’s not only the daily tasks that can be a burden to parents, but also dealing with those bumps and grazes that occur frequently. The iHomeopathy app lists medical solutions depending on your child’s injury. For example, if your child has a minor burn, the app will give information on how to deal with the burn.
MamaBear
One constant worry amongst parents is the fear of their child getting lost. Even the most diligent of parents cannot keep their eyes on their children all day. Regardless of your child’s age, you want to know they’re safe, and this is where MamaBear steps in. As well as being able to record your child’s location, you are also alerted when they are tagged in photos on social media. The online tracking aspect of the app really will set a lot of parent’s mind at ease knowing that their child is safe both in the real world, and online.
Canvsly
Before the birth of the Internet, if your child had drawn you a picture, chances are it would be stuck to the fridge so you could see it every day. Nowadays it’s much easier to showcase your child’s talent thanks to apps such as Canvsly. Parents can upload their children’s crafts and share only to those who are permitted to view their profile, such as family members and close friends.
BabyBook
With so many photos being digital nowadays, many parents yearn for the days of the physical photograph. Babybook looks to merge the two worlds by allowing parents to take photos of their child as they grow and then having their photos presented hardbound book at the end of the year.
ChoreMonster
As the children get older, many parents will have their children undertake small chores so they can gain an understanding of responsibility. However, keeping track of what chores and rewards are due can be a chore in itself. ChoreMonster allows parents to set up chores, and the rewards the children will receive once the chores are done.
For example, it could be money or additional time on their games console. Children can also log into the app from their device to see what chores have been set up and the rewards that they can expect.
