Mommy Poppins App Is Coming! Help Us Launch It and Win Cool Rewards

5/22/13 - By Anna Fader

What could be better than the Mommy Poppins LA website, where you go to find cool things to do with your kids? Having access to everything on the website when you’re at your computer – plus an app for your phone when you’re on the go!  We’re working on developing an app for NYC to launch in June, and with your help, we could have LA content following almost immediately. Read on to find out answers to your questions about the app, how you can help make it happen, and the super-cool incentives you can get for helping.

You've got questions, and we've got answers:

What will the app do?

So, Mommy Poppins works really well when you’re at a computer and you’re reading about all the fun places to go with your kids. But that doesn’t always translate when you’re out and about, using your mobile phone. The Mommy Poppins App will allow you to find all the great places we write about on our sites—spots to create, be active, learn, shop, eat and more—easily on your phone.

With the Mommy Poppins App, you'll be able to:

  • Find kid-friendly spots nearby or search the map to plan a day out in a different area
  • Filter by type of activity
  • Filter for FREE activities (yes!)
  • Read detailed descriptions by our editors about our favorite locations and activities

What do you want me to do, exactly?

The thing is, we want to make our app free and accessible to everyone and still give you all the features we know you want. Our IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign  (similar to Kickstarter) is a fun way to pay it forward and be part of making that happen.

Wait! Before your eyes glaze over at the sight of “funding” and “campaign”, you don’t even have to make a contribution to help get the app launched in LA – we just need you to leave a comment expressing your desire to have the app here. We have a little bit of a competition going with our sister sites in Boston, LI, NJ and CT for the first region to be featured on the app after NYC. Whichever region gets the most comments on our IndieGoGo campaign page "wins", so go show your Angeleno pride! You can leave a comment whether you contribute or not, but of course we hope you will want to pay it forward. 

What do I get?

When your friends tell you about this great new Mommy Poppins app, you can say, “Yeah, I was a part of making it happen.” (With lots of pride, like you’re talking about your baby’s first word, or smile, or tooth...) You get that for just two bucks. If you contribute more, the incentives are really quite fabulous. There’s swag, of course, but you also have the opportunity to see your name in lights. Or, even better, see your kid’s photo in the app! You can get your business wicked good exposure as an App Sponsor or Founding Partner, and if you really want the keys to the kingdom, you can have a meeting with Mommy Poppins herself, Anna Fader. She’ll tell you the secrets to blogging, branding, marketing and more. Go to our campaign page for all the rewards and details. 

What if I want more info?

Go to our IndieGoGo campaign for all the details. If you still have questions about the campaign or the app, email mommy@mommypoppins.com. 

Thanks!
