Top 5 Mobile Apps For Filipino Moms

I never thought this day would come that I would be writing about Top 5 Mobile Apps For Filipino Moms. Though I have been blogging for 10 years, I am quite delayed when it comes to embracing technology. I prefer to call myself an old fashion mom. I love writing and doing or jotting my task the old style. But a few events in my life changed it. I am still a planner person but I am welcoming some changes. Check your phones and see if this Top 5 Mobile Apps For Filipino Moms are installed.

Top 5 Mobile Apps For Filipino Moms

Period Tracker- Period Calendar

This app available both on Google Play and Apple App store. All women and not just moms should have this. What does Period tracker do:

prevents you from getting pregnant if you don’t want to because it tells you when it is safe to do it
can make you pregnant if you are planning because it tells you if it the chance of getting pregnant is high
lets you know when your period is coming
saves your life!

And this app is super easy to use. You just need to input the first day of your period and how many it usually lasts and you are all set. THIS APP IS A MUST DOWNLOAD!

Trello

This app available both on Google Play and Apple App store. This is way better than a planner I tell you. The only difference or the only reason why you’d still want to use a planner is because of the smell of the paper and the act of writing/doodling. But everything you need to be very organized is this.

I have been very productive ever since I used this app. This is the only app I use to organize my blogging, my tasks as a social media influencer and my duties as a mom. Total lifesaver!

There is no limit on what you can write there. Coffee at 8 AM? Magwalis at 9 AM? Sort out ng labahin at 10? Pwedeng pwede!

This app available both on Google Play and Apple App store. Yes, you have to be a Globe user to have a GCash. Download the app and then go to any Globe center to get verified.

Why is Gcash included in the Top 5 Mobile Apps For Filipino Moms? You can pay your bills using Gcash and they sometimes offer rebates when you use it. How to load your Gcash: 5 ways to laod your Gcash wallet. Pwede din mag transfer ng pera from paypal to Gcash! Verification can be tricky though. I tried to get verified through the center but it was not approved yet 🙁 Also tried through messenger but to no avail. I will try again and give you tips on how to get your Gcash verified.

But it is a good thing no? That strict verification? It makes you feel safe when transacting through GCash. Dapat ang mga online sellers, may GCash din.
