Social.mom is a parenting app that was made to provide new moms with more support, friendship, and activities to help them connect with women in their area who also have an interest in forming positive relationships.
The app is free to use and acts like a social networking platform. Users can quickly set up a profile that specifies the age of their kids, their interests, and more—making it easy for them to find other moms in their area who might be interested in setting up a playdate at a nearby playground, sharing tips, and otherwise building a connection. The app is also great for women who are pregnant or trying to conceive, with the network providing plenty of access to support and advice.
The founders behind the app are also working on a social app geared towards dads.
