What a great list. According to the author, women basically do three things: shop, have babies, and use social networking sites.
This would be sexist if it weren’t just so pathetic.
Don’t forget: Get in good shape for men
I like shopping, I would love to have a child someday, I love social networking sites and Yes – I like to look good.
So why is this sexist? you see what you wanna see.
Thanks for the list! Some very useful apps for men or women!
so wheres the 14 useful apps for men?
Btw, that includes us SINGLE DADS. you know, the ones who have to juggle career, being healthy and raising a child as well?
yeah, cuz all us men do is go to strip clubs and drink beer… our lives are completely uncomplicated
that is soooo sexist!
but seriously, these apps are great. I had to make some my self for my wife. not on iPhone though, but still. Her life’s a little easier now. This thread is helpful to those who don’t know such apps exist.
So just stuff your feminist vagina shut.
In the Windows Mobile world, the Period apps sell more to males than females. Seems they need to track this info, too.
…or that women are actually capable of remembering dates without computer assistance.
These are some great, helpful apps. I really like Epicurious. There’s another list of some great apps for women over at this site I was looking at today called askmelissa. Here’s the link to the article if anyone’s interested
Really a wonderful list… I’m also a fan of iPhone apps for woman. See also my collection in http://iphoneappsforwoman.blogspot.com/ where I regularly update them.
nice list, i’d like to add this one: “the pill”, a birth controll pill reminder for iphone, with push notifications alert. http://www.thepill-iphone.com
Hi some useful apps for my lovely white iPhone
I found some good ones here too
Jamie x x
I love ismashiphone
Very helpful apps,thx.I would like to read a games for women article too
Now my favourite game is the JewelUp with its relaxing music and beautiful graphics. Ohh and it’s free

They forgot about the app that tracks when the woman needs to do the laundry, clean the house and how to appease her husband. If you think these are useful for the typical women let me be the one to inform you that you are ignorant of feminist issues and/or feminist history and can’t identify sexism when it’s two inches from your face.
