Mothers possess skills varied and wide, and recent research shows Moms are particularly adept at using their iPhones. The Huffington Post has developed a list of Top iPhone Apps for Moms, By Moms:
Never underestimate a mom with an iPhone. Research from Greystripe [PDF] show that moms love iPhone apps, and are downloading apps in various categories from games to productivity.
While most mobile developers are men, a growing number of opportunistic women are venturing into app development to create apps catered to other women. And many of these women are part of a group called Moms with Apps, a collaborative group of family-friendly developers who share best practices on making and marketing mobile apps.
HuffPo’s list includes some nicely done iPhone and iPod touch apps that deal with emergency infant medical care, learning sign language, communicating with autistic children, and – helpful for Moms, Dads and chauffeurs of all kinds – roadtrip bingo.
