Top 9 Apps For Mobile WPs (workin’ parents)

Nine apps for my phone that help me be more efficient in my crazy mom/working mom/wife life.

You know I love love love my iPad and iPhone – I love my gadgets. A friend just asked me to share my list of favorite apps. Here are nine I love, what should be my 10th?

YouMail This is THE most noticed tool (from missed callers). My voicemail addresses each caller by name when I can’t grab their call even unique names like my friend ‘Coral’. My best friend is greeted by ‘Beautiful’ because I made it her first name in my contacts list.

Glympse lets my husband (or anyone else) know via text where I am with my real time map location.

DropBox when I need a signature on one form or an entire short sale package. This app saves me hours – no lie – from sending off my laptop. Files that can be accessed and shared from any computer, iPhone, iPad-we always have our client files with us now.

Sign & Send lets me open any doc and write on it or add text (in any color) then email out to the recipient in a flash…keeps me running after signatures it’s so geek’n fun!

PS Express photo editing lets me edit any pic right from my iPhone4′s already awesome photo quality. I can crop, adjust, add a fun look then resave – how else can I share on facebook, right?

Groupon Besides the great deals around us, if you are traveling in another state or want to give a gift to an out of town friend, this app let’s you search other area Groupons and keep track of ones I bought.

Allrecipies gives me great on-the-spot dinner ideas before a grocery run or when friends pop over. Just select 15 or 45 min, appetizer or side dish and a food group you have on hand or prefer.

Genius Scan uses my camera to take a picture of my paper document that I can either save or directly send by email, Dropbox, or Evernote.

Evernote syncs my todo lists immediately with my iPhone, iPad, and PC. I use it to make random notes, voice record my daughter’s doctor consultations, classes, research/clip a web page/screenshot, snap a photo of business cards, gift ideas and receipts.

Leave a comment in the box below–what’s your favorite app? What else should I be using right now?
