If you spend a lot of time on your phone (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), then it’s nice to have an app that sorts articles in one place. The Daily Mom app takes content from different sites and puts it nicely and neatly into one organized app on your phone. It’s updated in real time, culled from respected sources, and best of all, targeted JUST FOR MOMS.

Mommy Tech Bytes’ Review:
The Daily Mom is a smart solution to provide moms with lots of reading resources in one app. I love how easy it is to read articles on this app! It has a clean design and it’s quick to get to each category.
Based on the content selection, The Daily Mom targets mom who want to read well-written, fact-based articles (i.e. news, money, family-media, etc., with the occasional celeb gossip thrown in). There isn’t any griping about parenthood on here, at least not right now.
The Daily Mom has selected content from a variety of sites and blogs. I’m looking forward to seeing more blogs incorporated into the app too – perhaps from tech and humor bloggers.
Overall, this is a clever, all-in-one app that I enjoy using. I recommend it to all my friends and readers! Thank you, Daily Mom!
On a sidenote: When you open the app, if it takes a few seconds to load, that is because it is populating with the latest content from various sites.
