Thanks to my husband, on Christmas I became the proud owner of an iPhone. While I consider myself a techie mom, this was the first time I’ve ever had a smartphone. Why wait so long, you ask? Well, I couldn’t justify paying for the data plan when I work all day on a computer and have my laptop at home.
Secretly though I had always wished I had one because it would be easier to update Twitter and Facebook, and use apps that make everyone’s life a little easier.
So now that I’m a full-fledged iPhone user, I am embracing all kinds of free apps. I have a couple on there for my daughter Chloé, and a couple for me, like Gilt, Zulily, Ebay and Dominos Pizza. No judgments please. 🙂
I’ve sought out for some of the highest rated FREE or low-cost iPhone apps that fit my needs now. Here are some that I think could be helpful.
1. Grocery Gadget Shopping List- FREE

3. My Cycles– FREE
Work with me, but this app is a must if you’re just too busy to remember your cycle. My Cycles takes all the guesswork out of tracking your period and predicting your ovulation window. Whether you’re trying to conceive or want to know when to expect your next period, this app is for you!
