Social.mom - Parenting App Reviews

by Torvega

I used to love Socialmom so much because I felt like everybody was supportive and everybody let everybody have an opinion and everybody respected everybody but I had a tragic incident and I lost my child and I posted and shared about my experience and I got bullied off Socialmom and people started a go fund me’s and started raising money on there behalf for my child for their own gain ! I got on Socialmom to share my experience and ask for prayers I never asked for a dime I never said I would go fund me I never asked for anything from anyone other than support and prayers and I got bullied vicious girls and the creators of the account wanted me to give them permission to call the hospital and they wanted me to send them my babies death certificate so I could prove my son was dead so I was disgusted with Socialmom and I deleted it but now I’m looking into a lawyer so I can go after the creators because that is just pure evil and you don’t do that to a grieving mother Socialmom is nasty be aware and these girls are vicious and Will talk about you and spread rumors and lies they hurt me so bad in my worst time of need and I will never ever ever forgive these people or Socialmom for allowing people to bully someone who is grieving

I use to like Socialmom I was a member on Socialmom before in 2020 I shared pictures of my kids and myself . Then I decided to take a break from social media so I deleted the account until this year a made another one I had the account for 3 days haven’t started posting pics yet then was deleted off because I didn’t share photos and saying showing signs of not being a real mom so that made me upset to be judged when they didn’t even take the time to know I was a member before . So if you decide to get on Socialmom follow there rules because they will delete you immediately with no questions ask smh sad app.

I downloaded this and decided to actually read the recent reviews….I’m sorry but so many mention bullying that there’s no way to think it’s being made up. I was actually excited about this but sounds like there isn’t monitoring done well around these issues with what sounds like a lot of moms bullying other moms. No thanks. Regular Facebook works just fine for me and then there’s friends and family i can always go to. Hope the creator takes a hard look into her community she is trying to
Build.

I was banned for no reason, I’m sure people say that a lot but it’s the truth! I never had engaged in any argument or negativity with a single other user!.
I uploaded personal pictures of me and my family I posted about my life there, never broke any rules never posted anything against the community guidelines. I gave them my phone number and location like they asked (totally uncalled for) and I don’t know when as I wasn’t on daily, but eventually I got logged off and cannot log back in. I’ve contacted them multiple times to try and fix this and they won’t respond! It’s the damndest thing.

I joined Socialmom and initially, I loved it..but it didn’t take long for the bullying and pettiness to begin. I posted an innocent picture of my son standing outside on our driveway barefoot and I was ATTACKED. I was accused of being neglectful and abusive to my son. It was traumatic. I never believed the stories about how traumatizing online bullying can be until I joined Socialmom. Several people even threatened to call CPS on me. I can’t begin to to explain how mean and hateful people can be. I tried to report the bullying but nothing ever happened to them. All because my 5 year old son was standing on my concrete driveway barefoot.

At first I grew to like Socialmom became a super mom and quickly began getting bullied. My profile was being reported time after time and because my Cousin wasn’t my same skin color they accused me of stealing the picture. When u try to vent to the other moms there it’s nothing but mess, and hypocrites. Don’t waste your time downloading this junk,! Just stay on Facebook, that’s what I should have did. I decided to delete my account over the picture issue, and being reported for no good reason. People there don’t even get to know but secretly talk about you in messages or in the slack group Audrey they founder tells you to download. 🤐😷 worst app

I thought Socialmom was going to be a place where I could meet other mamas and find friends, etc. All I found was a bunch of young moms complaining about motherhood and all they want to do is smoke/drink. (Honey, no one told you to have babies!)I wish Socialmom was less of mom complaining and of more positivity. It’s kind of hard to walk away from that app in a good mood when it’s all negative and it’s frequent users are promoting drug use and drinking. Not to mention the many posts about different products to buy promoted by these moms. No thank you. I’ll stick with Peanut and the other mommy apps.

The idea of Socialmom is cool but they have these super moms who “monitor” Socialmom and report any little thing they think is offensive or they don’t agree with

While I am all for having people monitor because once in a while you will find bullies, my BIGGEST issue with them is that they will NEVER go and confront you about your post, instead they have their own chat in which they make their own conclusions about YOUR post and then decide on their own what YOU meant without even asking you and report your post. They NEVER go straight to the source to pin the issue, they make up their own conclusions and it is extremely annoying especially when you are defending yourself from another mom or post.

I wish that instead of them making up their stories they would ask the person posting what the issue is and find better ways to solve it than they all just discussing among themselves and deciding what YOU meant... it’s so frustrating and they report your post because it was “inappropriate” but they handle it very immaturely...

Besides that, the platform itself is amazing, but for me some of the super moms are bullies who cannot solve the issues with the main source

I wanted to make an account on Socialmom but it wouldn’t allow me to do so unless I add my home address. Stating that it would be private, I did. Socialmom doesn’t share your address but it does share your neighborhood. I tried to delete this and share only my city, which even then I was not completely comfortable doing, but was not allowed to do so. Privacy is extremely important, especially to those with children. Please consider allowing users to customize their profile to their privacy preferences. I deleted my account and Socialmom and would not consider using again until those changes are made and know many mother’s from other mom apps that I use who feel the same way because we’ve discussed it.

I genuinely LOVE Socialmom but I don’t think I can tolerate it anymore... there are a few moms who constantly break community guidelines and bully others but get away with it, I made a new account for a fresh start and within two days my account was reported and now I can’t post, Comment, or like anything. I’ve messaged the creators and have not heard back. They automatically put limitations on your account if just one person reports you. All I have done is spread positivity and post pictures of my babies and I have not violated any guidelines and I’m tired of people getting away with bullying and other people like me getting account restrictions for absolutely no reason. Definitely needs a better system!

I understand the developers vision but social media is social media. I don’t have Facebook and IG because it’s social media and we know how that can get. I seen Socialmom and thought ok, a app for moms talking about kids, wanting to meet for play dates and so forth. So wrong. People still bully people, political stuff, people talk about stuff that needs to be discussed with a doctor. I read on one post how she was pregnant and her husband was beating on her. People bashing their children’s father. People talking about being drunk. People made this into a negative Facebook page. Yes, there are mothers that use it for what it’s intended for. There were really no local moms in my area anyway so I just decided to delete it.. clearly things are not being monitored as it states when you sign up.

Socialmom is nice that I do see moms that feel comfortable posting about ANYTHING. Some of the moms’ posts make me roll my eyes in annoyance of someone posting about drama to just rant rather than looking for advice from the community but it is a safe place and that’s something I think they do a great job at creating on Socialmom. I love seeing the proud mom posts the most and I think it’s been great sharing my own proud mom posts. I’m excited to see where Socialmom can go and am happy to be part of that movement.

I love Socialmom! I love getting to know different moms from all over. From talking about our kids to what we’re going to cook for dinner, we all have a great time! It’s a beautiful experience to be able to share advice and receive advice. I love even more when I’m having a rough day we get to vent it all out and get the support form the other moms we need. It’s a great app for mommy’s to-be to experience mothers. It also has a section where you can talk and see all the moms in your area which is awesome to find moms near by for play dates!

This is such a great, well thought out app ❤️ I been using Socialmom a couple of months now and I’ve met some amazing women near and far😊 I love to be able to connect with other moms who go through and feel the same way as me🙂 It’s really cool you can post pictures, chat with moms, like pictures, comment, look for advice and give advice and all for ONLY MOMS 👍 I am so glad and grateful I found this community of ladies 😍 THANK YOU THANK YOU SOCIAL MOM CREW 🙏 You guys rock 💜

by M0ther0f42019

I love Socialmom
All the moms are friendly and always giving great advice. They have one another backs I mean I can literally vent about anything ask anything and I’m never judged about it because maybe they are going through or been through the same thing I’m going through and can help me out.
This was one of the best decision I made getting Socialmom

I haven’t really dove into the depths of it yet, so I don’t know my way around entirely, but so far it’s been amazing! On other social platforms like Facebook, there’s some seriously hateful people towards mothers & children, so I absolutely love that there’s a place for mothers to post about being mothers & their children, without receiving hate in return!

by Ashley N Hilton

I heard about Socialmom from a mom group on Facebook and it sounded interesting. I have a very hard time making friends and I don’t like to post my son on Facebook very much due to the world we live in. I joined Socialmom and I absolutely love that it’s all moms! The ladies are super sweet and Audrey is very inviting. She sends you tips on how to use Socialmom and make friends. I have only talked to one mom so far but I love that this is a safe space for new moms and even seasoned moms to post about there day to day life and ask questions. I have been through several apps and groups on Facebook for moms but this is by far the best one yet! I highly recommend Socialmom for any new or seasoned moms!

by Savannahs Mama

I have really enjoyed Socialmom. I don’t have a Facebook or other social media. I’m a mom with a family and I wanted to connect with other moms and this is perfect! It’s a place we can all be open and supportive to one another. Share our babies and any issues we have or get/give advice. I really like it a lot. I go on every day

by Kaymarie2710

I just wanted to say that I’m new to Socialmom but so far I’m loving everything about it. The people are amazing and so supportive to other mothers. It’s great to be able to find a place for mothers to come together for advise and support. I really love that the creators stay on top of their app and get rid of all the negative rude people. I know we’re not all perfect but at least we can respect each other and the mothering struggle we all go through.

First red flag is that you must enter your phone number for possible “legal action” THEN it requires you to enter your home address which is “private” however it isn’t really. THEN Socialmom is like Instagram but much worse. Random selfies that you could scroll for an hour until you see an actual post. People use Socialmom like a diary. 🙄 Also, You can’t have a differing opinion or you may get banned. The admin basically begs for people to leave positive reviews. Again, don’t waste your time.

by TrishaGray

A friend of mine told me about Socialmom and honestly I was skeptical because I don't live in a big town so I assumed there wouldn't be moms near me 😨 totally happy when I saw about 30 plus in the area 🙌🏻 it's awesome for asking questions and as moms I think we all know what it's like to have insomnia.... the global feed keeps me sane when I can't sleep at night 😂❤️

I like Socialmom so far. The owners are also friendly and answer your concerns quick. I give it 4.5 just because I am a paranoid freak and wish people wouldn’t be able to screen shot or screen record due to us posting our kids pictures but that’s a phone thing not Socialmom ’s fault. LOVE IT!

by Zzttagzgzbsb

I don’t feel so much FOMO on this as much as I do on my instagram or Facebook. Haven’t met with any local moms yet but loving Socialmom so far. Wish there was a go live option or a way to upload videos but who knows what can happen for this great Mom app! So far I’m enjoying this and making friends

by Lov3lyjasmine

I love Socialmom, it’s a lot of cool new moms and it’s also a dad up here with kids also and he’s nice. I kinda don’t like the name of Socialmom lol so I just call it the mom app. Thanks for making Socialmom, it’s better then baby center when it comes to meeting new moms.

by Influencer Platform

I absolutely love Socialmom so many amazing mommies I have connected with and I can be myself and won’t be judged. I recommend downloading it 😀 you will be happy I use Socialmom more than any of my other social media apps 🙂
