The advent of the smartphone over little more than a decade has completely changed consumption, entertainment and communication habits for billions of people all over the world. Shopping, communicating face to face with someone who is on the other side of the globe or managing our bank account can all be done from our mobile phone and possibilities are growing daily. Naturally, the formation of a family also has its niche in the smartphone world: there is no shortage of fertility apps which give us a hand when trying to become pregnant.
Although the different telephone application centres, such as App Store or Google Play, are full of fertility apps, it’s a good idea to separate the wheat from the chaff, as there are also many apps which are little more than a waste of time, something undesirable when the objective is to form a family.
