Introducing the Moms Society App!

We’re so excited to announce that the Moms Society App has finally launched! You can now find our app on the Apple App Store and on the Google Play Store.

So what does this mean for you?

A More Engaged Community

With the app launched more moms like you can now engage nationally by location, topic, or even month you’re expecting. This means you’ll get notifications (if you opt to turn them on) whenever anyone responds to your comments, answers your questions, or responds to your ISOs. With the app, you’ll find more help from moms like you to help relieve some of that mental load.
 

A Bigger and Better Community

Now that we have an app, we’re excited to expand The Moms Society even more, to reach more moms with our mission to build the most connective community for moms ever. Know any mamas who would enjoy this community, appreciate the support and have heavy mental loads? Please forward this to them and share the secret! With more moms recommended by moms like you, we’ll be on our way to building a healthy, thriving community that will give back more than what we individually put in.
 

This is Just the Beginning

We’re really excited for you to use the app as this is a big milestone for making a thriving community possible. We have a lot of new ideas for features to bring to the app, but we also want to hear from you.

Let us know what you think is missing, where we might have missed the mark, or just how we can make things easier for you (that’s kind of the whole point of this).

Making moms lives easier is why we’re here, so send us any comments you have to hello@momssociety.com
