Hashtag Mom<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hashtag Mom is an ingenious app for single moms and any parent that allows kids old enough to be out with friends or other parents on their own, but not truly on their own for long, to check in with mom using the #mom hashtag via FourSquare. When your child uses the #mom tag, you\u2019ll get a notification on your phone so you\u2019ll know where your son or daughter is without having to bug your teen with tons of phone calls.<\/p>\n

iSentry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

iSentry is technically a home security app, but it can be a great resource for single moms who want to take a step up from traditional baby monitors. You can set up a computer in your baby’s room to monitor them; however, unlike a traditional camera where it continues to record at all times, it sends a video or photo to your smartphone or mobile device whenever movement detected in the room exceeds the motion sensitivity limit. This makes a powerful, yet simple home security tool.<\/p>\n

MapQuest 4 Mobile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A lot of smartphones come with interactive maps, but they don\u2019t all provide voice navigation. A map is helpful, but you can\u2019t be staring at a screen while you\u2019re driving around with restless children in the backseat.<\/p>\n

MapQuest 4 Mobile<\/a> is a simple app that gives you directions via voice, and even recalculates your route if you go the wrong way or miss a turn without entering your information manually.<\/p>\n
