Women are considered to be an epitome of strength and resilience. Skilled in multi-tasking, being a woman isn't an easy job at all, and that is where technology can come to their rescue. Today's tech-savvy woman is as adept at handling gizmos and gadgets as she is at taking care of homely tasks, and apps allow smartphones to do a lot more than just making a phone call. Taking this into account and the fact that it is the International Women's Day, we have compiled a list of apps for Android and iOS devices that can help women sort their life's hectic activities.

1. Keep A Note Of Things
   Considering that women need to take care of several activities at one go, a note making tool such as Evernote ranks high on our list. Just like every other note making app, this one too lets you create text notes, as well as add pictures, videos, and sound clips to make your notes more interactive and easy to record. However, this particular app can be used across platforms as it is a cloud-based set-up. Therefore, you can access these notes not just from your mobile device but also from your PC with the software. You can check them out via web browser such as Chrome and Firefox, using an extension. Searching for notes is easy even within images because the app supports OCR (Optical Character Recognition). The app is available in both free and premium versions, for iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, and BlackBerry platforms.
   
    
2. Because You Are Special 
   Women are biologically different from their male counterparts and there are special apps to help them pass through certain uniquely critical times in their lives. Apps such as WomanLog Calendar help girls keep a track of their menstrual and fertility calendar with ease. Available in both free and pro versions for Android devices, the app also helps keep a check on symptoms and weight tracking among other things and it can be password protected. For expectant women, apps such as Happy Pregnancy Ticker and Pregnancy Tracker can be quite handy tools to keep. The former is a pregnancy app that calculates due date, plans ovulation, tracks weight, and even lets you add baby pictures, while the later is more of a guide for mommies-to-be. For new moms, Breastmilk Counts is a good app if you plan to go that way.
   
   iOS users can try apps such as iPeriod Free, iPregnancy, and Breastfeeding Management 2 for the same.
   
    
3. A Healthy Body And Mind
   With all the tasks that women need to accomplish on a daily basis, they get very little time to take care of their fitness. While expensive training sessions and yoga trainers don't suit everybody's schedule, an interesting app called Yoga Workout Planner can be of help. It helps you with yoga positions, along with music and a list of sessions to help you get into the workout mood. Certainly a better way to stay fit and refresh your senses.
   
   iOS users can go for the Pocket Yoga app instead. There are 27 sessions that have been divided into three levels of difficulty. Just place the device in front of you and follow cues provided by the app.
   
    
4. Preparing For The Party
   If you are planning a special kitty party to celebrate the day, then you will surely want to try out some new recipes. If Indian recipes are on your mind, then the South Indian Recipe app can help you out on the iOS platform. However, with your iDevice, you don't need to rely only on text-based notes, you can learn from video tutorials too. Sweet'N'Spicy Indian Video Recipes, which is also available for Android devices, demonstrates recipes to teach you exactly how to prepare them. It's especially good for people who want to start honing their culinary skills. What good is a party without some mocktails? If mixing drinks is not your forte, then the iMocktails - The Instant Pocket Recipes (Non Alcoholic) app can be a good place to start.
   
   For the Android users, there are similar such apps such as South Indian Recipes and to 50+ Most Popular Mocktail apps help you out. Time to get the party started!
   
    
5. Shopping Time
   After all this hard work, it's time to get ready for the party and let your hair down. If all those daily chores leave you little time to indulge in shopping, then you can turn to your smartphone for help. If you are looking for some deals then the Snapdeal- Beta app can be of relevance. To book movie tickets or pay your bills, the ngpay app is handy tool to have. While both the apps have Android versions, iOS users will have to wait a bit longer. Android users can also use the Flipkart app to shop through their phone. However, eBay India does have apps for both iOS and Android platforms.
