Being a mother isn’t easy, especially when you’re the homemaker, childminder, chef, and accountant in your home. Thankfully, mobile app makers have stepped up to the plate in order to create apps that not only take some of the stress out of daily living but also help make people’s lives more productive and efficient.
Take a look at some of the kinds of apps you should be looking to download that will help turn your mobile phone into a personal assistant with a difference.
Scheduler Apps
Most people live extremely busy lives, and with children who need to be carted to and from sports clubs, to friends’ houses, to parties and to other activities, it is easy to lose track of where you need to be and when. That is why scheduler apps, or calendar apps, are a great addition to any mum’s phone.
From apps like DigiCal Calendar Agenda, a free daily planner app that even syncs with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Exchange, to paid apps like To-Do Calendar Planner+, described as an all-in-one-solution for getting organised, there is a huge range of apps that can help you plan out your day.
Bill Reminder Apps
Are you one of those mums who is constantly having to pay late fees because you forgot to pay your accounts on time? It is easy to lose track of the days and forget to make a payment. However, there is an easy solution to this issue. Bill payment reminder apps do exactly what you expect them to do; they remind you when your bills are due so you can avoid the extra fees and embarrassment of another late payment. Some apps, like Bills Reminder, Budget & Expense Manager App, even have multiple features that can help you take control of your finances.
In addition to ensuring you don’t forget to pay your bills, you can also use price comparison apps like the one from Quotezone.co.uk to compare home insurance quotes, which could help you make those bills a little bit smaller.
Cookbook Apps
Mums have a lot on their plate, but the pain of trying to decide what to cook is one of those things that most people can relate to. Thankfully, there are a number of apps that not only give you access to a huge range of recipes, but some even take the hassle out of planning those meals by including a shopping list feature so you know exactly what you need to make dinner delicious. A number of apps also allow you to search by ingredient so you can just plug in what’s in your freezer and the app will give you some easy recipes using that ingredient. Simply search for cookbook apps on your Android or iOS app store for a full list of options.
These are just some of the apps that are designed to make your life a little easier and more productive. Be sure to check out your app store regularly for updates and other apps that can help take some of the stress out of daily living.
