I use a lot of these apps and think this is a really great list. I was wary of using the NextDoor app, but find that I really enjoy knowing the other families that live in my area. It’s a great way to connect!
Hi Sarah!
Next door is one of my favorites as well. It’s a great place to get referrals especially if you are new to an area. My neighborhood is pretty active on the site.
So many great apps here!! I personally LOVE Ibotta! I make so much money!!
Hey Brittney,
Ibotta is one of my favorite cash back apps. Especially for groceries. I’m a big fan of Dosh as well. Mainly because you don’t have to use a link or scan receipts.
There are a few here I already have and some I used during pregnancy, but I must say I need the Cozi family organiser nowadays!
Hey Stephanie,
Yes, Cozi is great. Especially if you have older kids. My teenagers are able to add to the grocery and shopping lists. I can also keep up with everyone’s busy school activity schedules. It’s a lifesaver.
Great stuff! I hadn’t heard do Dosh, so I’m going to download it now!
Hi Mirley,
You’re going to love Dosh. They have some great stores. They also run awesome promotions where you make money just by sharing the App with your family and friends.
such a cool list. I’m not a mom but I imagine these would be so helpful!
Thanks Tara!
I love your post. I use some of the apps in your post. But can you see if there is apps for moms who have teens?
Hi Lawanda,
The Cozi app is one of the best mom apps for moms with teens. It allows you and your teens to stay connected. They can add to shopping lists and share their calendars with you. It’s basically a family organization app.
These are great list of application for working mothers like me as i am using peanut, instaCart and Thefamilytime for my children to monitor them but it not in the list.
I’m going to try Cozi and a few other apps you recommend. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Shawn this is a great article! My wife is a stay at home mom of 3, and Facebook is (in her words) “slowly rotting her brain and lowering her faith in humanity” so I was looking for a list of some good apps to help her get her social fix. I had never heard of Peanut so I recommended it to her and so far she LOVES it! She uninstalled Facebook temporarily and has been on Peanut looking for some like minded mommas to communicate with. It literally turned her day around, thanks so much for the recommendation and keep up the great work!
Great stuff! Can check out some more apps here>>
