5 hot Mother’s Day apps for iPhone, iPod touch

Mother’s Day is around the corner — Sunday, May 9th, in fact — so we thought it would be a good time to look at a few related downloadable applications (“apps”) available at the Apple App Store (part of iTunes).

With more than 150,000 apps currently available at the App Store, there is certainly something for all occasions — and Mother’s Day is no exception.

The following is a quick look at 5 great apps to help celebrate those tireless moms everywhere.

Momisms (free): “Don’t talk with your mouth full!,” “Your father is going to hear about this when he gets home,” “You could have called.” These universal “mom” phrases might aggravate us when we hear them but it’s fun to see you’re not alone. Simply shake or tap the iPhone to read a new phrase.
