Being a parent is hard work. You’re constantly on the go, catering for your child’s every need, with little time dedicated to recharging your batteries and some plain old-fashioned “me time”. It can be tempting to use up the memory on your phone with apps to entertain the little ones whilst you’re out and about, but there are lots which are perfect for entertaining their parents too! Here are four of the top apps for parents:

 

BumpBump Pregnancy

When you’re expecting, everybody suddenly has an opinion on the best way to start preparing for your new arrival. Whilst this undoubtedly comes from a good place, receiving so much “helpful” advice can be incredibly overwhelming – especially for first-time parents. This app features a social network for users to contact other expecting mums and dads, a due date countdown, a journal for weight tracking and information about the best pregnancy and baby products. It’s available for free on iOS.

ArtKive

Okay, so your child probably won’t be the next Picasso or Frida Kahlo, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t treasure the endless stream of artworks they bring home for you. Unfortunately, however, most of us are limited when it comes to space to display and appreciate these masterpieces but thankfully the ArtKive app will solve this dilemma. By taking a photograph of their art, you can upload it on to the app and store it digitally – it will also let you transform it into a calendar or a hardcover book so you can treasure their art forever. It’s available on iOS for free.

 

Uptown Aces

Of course, being a parent doesn’t mean that you automatically stop having fun. A good way to unwind after a long day is by playing some of your favourite games. Whilst in your child-free days you may have enjoyed an evening at a casino, now you can play Black Jack or take a quick spin on the Slots from the comfort of your own sofa using the Uptown Aces app. It’s available on most iOS, Android and Tablet devices.

 

Modernist Cuisine at Home

This app is ideal for those parents who used to love eating out at different restaurants every evening, trying delicacies from all over the world but simply can’t find the time these days. You should be warned: this app does not come cheap. Costing a princely sum of £59.99 it is still a more economical version than the cookbook which is approximately £100. Modernist Cuisine at Home has only the best recipes for you to try at home. Packed with photographs, recipe tips, scaling advice and a shopping list function its creators say “it’s been designed, not as a book, but as a personal sous chef.”
