4 Must Have Apps for Moms
MomCo was founded on the idea of Moms Helping Moms. They genuinely want to be a one stop resource for all of you mamas. And I am so proud to have been on the ground floor of the groundbreaking company. This is one company that I am glad that I am an ambassador for. MomCo loves to inform you of products that they discover and love. (After all isn’t that what moms do in real life? ) They are starting a new feature on their website and on the MomCo app called “Mom Must Haves.” Each month, they will be sending out a blog with products we (meaning me and the other mom ambassadors) feel moms need to know about as well as put products into the “Mom Must Haves” section of the MomCo app. You can find it on the “Services” screen.
To kick off this new feature, let’s start with apps that moms must have! We have discovered these apps over the past few months and absolutely love them. We are also happy to say that they have all been founded by moms. These moms saw pain points that moms were feeling and they created ways to solve those pain points. Take a look and let us know what you think. Of course, we had to include the MomCo app as one too.
Make sure to check out the Mom Must-Have section for other awesome products we think moms need to know about. Also, we would love to hear about the products that you and your kiddos love. Please leave any suggestions for our Mom Must-Haves in the comment section of this blog post.
MomCo
Description: MomCo has done for moms what dating apps have done for singles. With the MomCo app, moms can effortlessly locate and connect with other moms in their community that have similar aged children and shared interests. No more wasted time or awkward moments at the playground trying to find moms to be friends with. It also helps moms find resources, products and services that they need. MomCo combined the best elements from other popular platforms currently being utilized by moms and streamlined them to meet the needs of the modern mom. www.momcoapp.com
Thoughts: The MomCo mamas are 2 moms that are trying to make other moms lives easier. Because they are moms of young children themselves, they know what moms want. They built this app because it is genuinely something they wish they had when they first became moms. Moms can now find friendship, playdates, support, events, deals, and services…all in one app!
Cost: Free

Cluck Cluck
Description: CluckCluck helps organize and simplify communication between parents and their kids’ caregivers. Parents can send one invitation to any (or all) of their go-to caregivers, see who’s available, and book the person they want. They can also provide access to task lists for each child, and get real-time, one-touch updates on those tasks from their sitter while away. Parents can also skip the ATM and pay caregivers directly from the phone and more. www.cluckcluckapp.com
Thoughts: This app is genius. One of the biggest challenges with going out without children is the logistics of coordinating what sitter is going to care for your children. With the CluckCluck app, you can easily ask all of your favorite sitters if they are available, book the one you want, get updates while you are gone (is baby asleep yet?!) and pay the sitter through your phone. Life just got a lot easier with this app if you need to coordinate with caregivers.
Cost: $.99

LittleHoots
Description: As parents, we can all understand how tough it is to remember our kids’ incredible quotes and observations. LittleHoots is a fast, fun and easy way to capture all the wonderful things your children say. Beautiful designer templates bring those moments to life instantly. Then, it’s archived forever. www.littlehoots.com
Thoughts: Love this app. Everyone has kids that say the funniest things and as time passes, you forget. Not anymore. Now you can take out your phone and record it quickly with this app. Awesome!
Cost: Free
Where to download:
Description: 30Second Mom creates engaging snackable content for busy moms from a variety of experts, and shares it in 30 seconds or less. It’s the first vertical launched by 30Second Mobile, a leading mobile media company launched by award-winning entrepreneur Elisa All, who previously founded iParenting.com (acquired by Disney).
Thoughts: The 30Second Mom app is like that best friend you wish you had on call – all the time, and in no time at all. With nearly 150 experts sharing their best tips and ideas on every facet of motherhood, you’re bound to find a nugget of helpful info that will change your life for the better, in the same amount of time it takes you to watch a TV commercial!

I never pay for apps, but I see that a few of these are free, so I will definitely check those out. I am DEFINITELY a busy mom!
I never knew about any of these apps. There are a few I really need to check in to. I wish I knew some of these when my kiddo was younger.
I had no idea these apps existed. I like the MomCo app, how fun to connect to others moms so easily.

I wish Little Hoots had been around when my kids were little! Kids say the cutest things and be able to capture them would have been awesome. I’ve got to show this to my daughter.
These are great apps. I’m going to check out cluck cluck I love that it’s for parents, kids and caregivers.
These sound like some great apps. I mostly use Google Maps, Twitter, Postal Pix and Instagram. It is nice to find some apps just for moms.
A good app is a must for anyone and these ones look great for MOMS! I haven’t heard many of them so I’m so excited to try them out! Thank you!
These all sound really useful. That LittleHoots app would be fun to play around with.
These sounds like some really great apps! I never even knew about half of them! Thanks for the heads up!
I think this app is a great idea for Moms to meet other area Moms. However, as a single person, I wouldn’t compare this app to a dating app. It compares more with Meet-Up, which is an app to meet friends of similar interests.
I didn’t know any of these apps you mentioned but I will definitely check them out. Moms are always busy!
I don’t have kids yet but these apps sound genius! I always read blog posts that are titled “Funny thins little jim says” or something like that… I love the idea of a quote app! It would be so easy to whip out your phone and make a little graphic… I bet you could even get them printed in an instagram like book to keep a hard copy!
These are great app suggestions for parents and kids, and for their caregivers too. I do not have small children anymore, but I will surely mention these to my friends and family who have little children.
I am not a mom yet, but God willing that dream will come true soon! Then I will need all this because it’s such a foreign world. Thanks!
I have never heard of any of these apps before and that LittleHoots app looks like one every mom should have. What a great way to capture, share and remember all of the hilarious things my kids say and share with the world!
Thanks for sharing these apps! I actually hadn’t heard of any of them, so I’m excited to check them out!
Thank for sharing. I use apps on my iPhone. I download new apps everyday
It’s good to know that there are apps to help us moms. I think I like the MomCo app. It will be nice to connect with other moms that share the same interest as yours.
This is the first time I heard about these apps. It’s great to know that there are apps that allow moms to connect with each other.
Looks really cool apps, those are I’m interested. I’m gonna install some of this apps.
Boy, how I could have used such apps when my kids were young! Loving the idea and sharing to Pinterest so other moms can enjoy. 🙂
I only have a few apps that I love. One is youtube where i listen to most of my music and the other is Instagram. I love these ideas, I will have to check these out.
How cool. MomCo sounds interesting and I think I’m going to check it out. I don’t have many apps, but this one looks great.
These sound like great apps for Mom’s. I will have to share this post with all of my Mom friends.
Oh these all sound like great apps. I can’t wait to get Little Hoots! I wish I would have heard about it years ago!
These are great apps. I’ll have to pass them along to my mom friends.
Ironically the apps I use most came with the phone, mostly the calendar and the camera, though I have downloaded a few photo editing apps.
I wish the Little Hoots app was available for Android.
Seeing your post reminds me. I need to submit some new 30 second tips. I also have an app. When I was pregnant, I relied on baby center.
So helpful. Never knew these apps were out there- I really need to up my mobile technology game with the oldest getting into her tweens soon!
Thank you for the info and having us as co-hosts for the #HomeMattersParty!
These apps look awesome. I really like the Little Hoots one. Some of these things my kids say would make great quotes!
I’m not really big into apps…I don’t have time to search for new, useful ones! Having said that, these re great and I am going to check them out!
The app for kids quotes is so incredibly cool! Kids are such little comedians! Great way to capture the memories!
Such great info – it never hurts to have a little extra being a Mom! 🙂 #HomeMattersParty
These all look awesome. Love that idea for keeping all the funny things your kids say! #HomeMattersParty
I’m sad to say as a mom of two and I’ve never heard of these apps. I feel like I’ve been missing out on a secret society.
How great that you are participating is such a fun upstart community. The apps all look like great ideas – particularly the quote one.
Once again – it’s great to be co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty with you
Wow! I would have loved some of these when my kids were little…back in the day? LOL! These are awesome and I never knew they were available. Thanks!
These are such great apps! I hadn’t heard of any of them, but now I think I’ll be using them all. Thank you! Great working with you #HomeMattersParty this month!
Seems like I am lucky to know about these before I began my motherhood journey. Pinning it for future 🙂 and will share it with friends 🙂 It’s great to be co-hosting with you .
