Great community platform
The concept of the app is great. Super easy to use. Great for people to interact for advice and to meet other parents. Love it
2022-08-09
It requires payment
Tinder app like but unless you pay, you can’t speak with mums from your area
2022-08-08
Amazing app to find new friends!
I moved to new country 2 years ago and didn’t have an opportunity to find a lot of friends. Especially felt lonely during pregnancy as few people I was communicating with were not on the same stage. Peanut helped me to find other pregnant ladies in my area. I met at least 7 people personally and we have walks with our babies now. Lovely app, recommended!
2022-08-08
Great app
A friend mentioned peanut so I thought I’d give it a go…I wasn’t disappointed! This little app has got me through some anxious times! I’ve also laughed a lot and even made some new mummy friends! When people ask what this app is like I describe it as tinder for mums 🤣 I love it and it’s great to just be able to go on and ask a question! Someone will be able to answer it for sure or at least point you in the right direction ❤️ great app for real mums…love it!
2022-08-08
Amazing
I’m not one for writing reviews but since becoming a mum I cannot imagine not having this app! It’s allowed me to gain so many other mum friends who are in similar positions to me, definitely has helped me feel less lonley
2022-08-08
Excellent app
A great way to share ideas, get advice and support on your journey of motherhood.
2022-08-08
Amazing app
Stacks of info for every stage of motherhood and great way to connect with other mamas.
2022-08-07
Amazing app!!!!
This app is amazing. It allows women from all over the world to match with each other to start connecting. You are able to build friendships and arrange meet ups. You are also able to join groups within the app to ask questions and gather some more information about different topics. This app is not just for pregnant women or women who are already mothers, but is also for women who are trying to conceive. This app allows women to make lifelong friendships and learn things from each other. It allows women to support each other and encourage each other to succeed. It’s just an overall amazing app and I am so glad I joined peanut as it has changed my life and allowed me to make friends so I don’t feel isolated in my journey.
2022-08-07
Review on the app
This app has helped me connect with local people in my area who are at a similar stage of pregnancy .
2022-08-07
Great app
Love this app, it’s great to get advice and talk to other mums in the same situation it really helped with Postpartum isolation and it’s great for making friends
2022-08-07
Great!
Not just fab for connecting with other women for making friend and play dates. Also has so much useful information shared between women and it’s an absolutely amazing place to ask for parenting advice that’s judgement free!
2022-07-28
Pay to see waves😞
I thought it was a great idea but pretty pointless when you glacé to pay a subscription to see you waved at you 😞
2022-07-27
Prejudice and discriminatory
Open an account then made my profile.
Later they cancelled my account and said that they didn’t accept me.
Awful.
2022-07-18
Great app but notifications could be improved
This is a great app for meeting local Mum’s and for chatting to people due at a similar time to you. I wish there was a way of just getting notifications when someone has connected or messaged as the groups are a little intense, with a constant stream of posts that I don’t need to be notified about.
2022-07-13
New Update?
This is a great app and makes it so much easier for mums to make new friends. However I am not sure if there has been an update recently? It allows 24hrs for a new connection to respond to you or the connection expires when I am sure this never used to be the case and I don’t think it is great as us mums are busy and can’t always get on within the timeframe therefore connections will be lost
2022-06-23
All about money
This app claims to help women make connections. They are, in fact, out to make money.
Some women are not confident enough to reach out. By forcing women to pay to see who is ‘waving’ at them, they have removed the option of said women seeing who is willing to reach out to them already.
I saw many people posting in groups, and believe the app will say that this is the alternative . Some women are not confident enough to do that - hence their desire for an app like what this portrayed itself to be.
I understand that the app needs to make money. But they have put a pay wall on the one aspect that opens this app up to the clientele that really needs it.
Very disappointing.
2022-06-22
Brilliant app!
What a thoughtful little app, whoever came up with this idea is a little genius.
So educational, supportive from women/mothers you don’t personally know.
Women ask questions you want to know the answers to and may not want to necessarily post a question yourself.
Just excellent all round.
2022-06-17
Great app
This app is a lovely way to meet new people in your area and speak to other mums who might have the same or similar questions to you. There is lots of groups which particular queries can be asked and everyone is more than helpful in answering. As a first time mum it was so helpful to be able to pop questions out there specifically to other mums who can help in absolutely no time!
2022-06-15
Love it!
I had recently move to a new city and had no friends or relatives. Then I saw Peanut’s add on Instagram and I thought I should give it a try.. Believe me, I made at least 5-6 friends within a month and after 2 months I met my 1st Peanut pal and now planning to meet more mama friends.. I’m glad I didn’t ignore that ad on Instagram ♥️
2022-06-14
Amazing
Absolutely great app; great place to meet fellow mums, get advice, have a laugh. Highly recommend
2022-06-14
Review
Being a first time mom was the hardest thing I had every done and my life changed forever. To be part of a community where all women can come together and give advice to others is a great thing to have. It stops women feeling so alone on this thing called motherhood.
2022-06-13
Love love love Peanut!
I downloaded Peanut just to see what all the fuss was about when I was 6 months pregnant. Now I’m 3 months post partum and I have a lovely group of mummy friends, I get advice from experienced mumma’s whenever I need it and I don’t feel judged at all which is the main part! Peanut is an amazing way to connect with people either in your area or across the world - I have a mummy friend all the way over in the States. Being part of a community of new mums has just been amazing thanks to peanut!
2022-06-13
Amazing app!!!
I’ve been using peanut for around 2 years now and I absolutely love it, I’ve made mummy friends from the app, whenever I have had a question I’m always straight onto peanut and can always rely on mums to help me with my question sometimes within minutes! It’s the best app out there if you are a mum/trying to conceive/are pregnant as there is so much support from others on there! I can’t fault the app as I absolutely love it :)
2022-06-13
Tinder for mums
So grateful for my friend recommending this app to me I had just moved to a new area and knew absolutely no one with kids and had 0 idea of where to start to meet other mums since using the app I have made so many connections with other mums and been introduced to so many different groups and classes in my local area! The support and advise from other mums has been so wonderful as a first time mum who is kinda just winging it I need all the help I can get 😂
2022-06-13
Amazing app!
This app is absolutely incredible. I had my little one back in March and was so anxious about finding other mums who were in my situation.
I didn’t have mum friends before but this app has allowed me to connect with other mums from so many different areas.
It’s allowed me to make friends for life and given me so much advice from other mums that I would never have even thought of!
It’s such a friendly place to open up and ask questions and I truly believe the way the app is laid out totally helps!
I use the app way more than any other social media 😂
2022-06-13
Lifeline
I first downloaded peanut when I found out I was pregnant back in 2019. I was due to be relocating so wanted to make friends who had children. After I sadly miscarried that pregnancy, I found the community of peanut to be a valuable source of support and guidance. When I fell pregnant again, the app also helped me to meet friends who were due around the same time in my local area. We still meet regularly and it’s been so helpful to have other people to share our experiences while our children grow up. I always recommend peanut to other mums.
2022-06-13
Amazing app for new mums
I don’t write reviews but since downloading this app, I had to write one down. This app has been amazing. I downloaded this app at the start of my third trimester and since then with my little girl, I’ve joined loads of groups and spoke to other young mums. It’s helped me in such a difficult, lonely time and has helped me to be more social. I definitely vouch for other mums to join.
2022-06-13
Love this!!
Honestly this has got to be the best app invented! I’ve met in person SO many lovely ladies who I now consider my friends! Ive also gained friendships from around the world! I’m usually such an antisocial person because of my anxiety, that I don’t go out unless I have to, so I never meet anyone new and as mum life has it, we loose friends as we get older! This is the best way to beat the fears and put yourself back out there! You never know you might find your best friend!
2022-06-13
Fantastic app!
I have been using Peanut since finding out i was pregnant and my little one is 13 months now. I’ve found it extremely helpful, being able to ask questing and get advice from other mums in my position! Motherhood can be lonely but this definitely eases the loneliness. I recommend Peanut to all mums/mums to be.
2022-06-13
Brilliant
This app is amazing, being a first time mum was so lonely and scary, but making friends on this app was so easy and now I can ask them for advice! I highly recommend this app for all mamas at any stage of their journey :)
2022-06-13
Amazing community
I love this app! It’s great to be part of a community of women who I can share experiences with. There is so much support on this app from mums who have had similar experiences and I especially love that you can join groups for like minded people. I use this app every day multiple times per day and enjoy making new friends on there :)
2022-05-30
If you have anxiety stay away!
Honestly I’m so glad I stopped using this app two weeks after my baby was born as I just found myself overthinking, panicking way too much rather than letting my baby guide me and trusting my own instinct. Too much false information and women ranting over everything and anything. It’s an app more for information and people sharing their worries rather than engaging in conversations and meeting up. And for this there are already tons of Facebook groups etc.
if you catch yourself starting to obsessively panic and search up every small detail about your newborn - stay away. I promise you the less time you spend here the better you will feel!
2022-05-27
❤️
I love this app so much! i never write reviews but this app has really helped me to connect with others, and learn new things about our babies. im so glad i discovered it & have invited my other friends to join.
2022-05-21
Bug corrected!
My settings were configured wrong, it’s all fine now💫✨ Pods work again!
Thanks
2022-05-17
Great mums!
Being a foreigners in London and being a new mum is hard, but Peanut made it much easier!
I met (and keep meeting) a lot of mums and friends!
This app is just genius!!! Love it!!!
2022-05-16
Great app for meeting mums
This app has been invaluable for me to socialise and meet other mums when I had my baby due to lockdowns. It’s so helpful having so many mums in my phone to ask for advice and it’s such a lovely community.
2022-05-16
Great app
definitely think because of peanut i met one of my closest friends and we got to share pregnancy together and now motherhood with our little ones.
2022-05-16
Amazing app
Met some lovely friends on here! Definitely recommend!
2022-05-16
The best app ever
I been on Peanut for a while now and it’s been amazing the amount of mothers I’ve been able to meet up with right next door / around the area it’s incredible! I thought I was all alone !
They have lots of groups , people and all subjects that what ever doubt you have you can get answers!
Recommend it everyone !
2022-05-16
Brilliant
A excellent support system for mums, women can connect with other women to seek advice, organise play dates or just have a chat!
2022-05-16
Great app!
Amazing app for all mums! I’ve met some great women off this app and my little girl has made friends 😊 definitely recommend it if you’re looking for advice or wanting to make friends.
2022-05-16
Peanut friends
I've made a few good friends and a few good contacts from this app highly recommend to any new or old mums who want friend or advice
2022-05-16
One of the best mum apps!
This app is absolutely incredible and a brilliant and safe space for mums to come together and help each other with support and advice!! I currently run a big group on this app that is very popular and I couldn’t be prouder of the community we have created! Xx
2022-05-16
Love it
It such a great way to connect with people going though the sam things you are
2022-05-16
An amazing app!
I’m so glad I came across peanut. I’ve spoken to so many mums and got advice from others. It’s really helped me!
2022-05-13
No longer mummy advice
Joined this app a year old being the only one out of my friends pregnant and absolutely love it! Meeting people who are also pregnant and getting tips ect on motherhood. I used to call it mummy tinder. Now all my feed is about people not wanting children ect. It’s great it’s exclusive but just feels doesn’t feel like a app for mummies to get advice anymore.
2022-05-07
Just about being a mother
I downloaded this app hoping to connect with other women, and focus on self-development, career, culture and hobbies and make friendship. It’s literally only about being a mother and babies…
2022-04-29
More harm than good
So having fully observed the app’s ins and outs, I noticed that Peanut is nothing but “an information gathering app”.
1. Peanut allows self promoting people to target audience, even though they are not a medical professional with no certified qualifications.
2. No matter how much you report a racist behaviour, it gets ignored. It often happens on the Weed smoking group chats: women were being verbally racist, bullying each other, worst— they stalk people on other platforms. It really is dangerous!
3. The app encourages the discussion of drugs, even though the app is a worldly accessed. Meaning the fact that the app allows drug use that are illegal in other countries, it creates barriers and alienates a teetotal demographic. Almost like it promotes weed.
2022-04-22
Hard to navigate
I love the concept of peanut but find the app really hard to navigate to be useful…probably as I haven’t paid to upgrade to premium 🤦🏼♀️
2022-04-14
Mixed feelings
Mixed feelings about the app.
Pros -
I like that you can limit to your area to connect with other mummas and also like that people have opportunity to do bios and lots hobbies so you can break ice with shared associations.
I like that there are chats and podcasts etc.
Cons -
You have to pay to see who waves at you, so kinda means it’s pointless to wave at someone and if you do any they don’t pay to see your wave it’s basically defunct.
The radius tool is WAY off - I put like 5miles and I am getting people from other counties (12miles+), so don’t get point of the radar if it is ignored and I have to swipe past people I can’t actual get there to meet!
Have spent several months chatting to other mums and not really had any meet ups (I have been advised this by several other mums who have deleted the app).
It is SOOOO AMERICAN based - on info and timings of go live events etc. can there not be one that is more relevant to actual countries and their medical guidelines! I mean I love talking to people from round the world - but it’s kinda time consuming to invest in if I have to hop on a plane for a play date and also a lot of the advise is incorrect for my country of residence (which is pretty scary if you don’t know it’s wrong and can make you spiral or contact your midwife in a panic)
2022-04-11
Amazing app must have for Mama’s
Motherhood is one of the most difficult journeys one can embark on so why do we need to do it alone . It’s nice to have other mama’s who are in similar situations as you support and help out with advice if you ask for it ,or just to know not everyone out there baby is sleeping like they are supposed it 🤪(that was definitely driving me nuts ). Also it’s nice to meet other moms in the area specially if u have recently moved and don’t know people around or even if u need new mom friends . Arrange play dates, coffee or park dates and other fun stuff. This app was a godsend to me at a time when I was feeling .
2022-04-06
Fantastic way to meet new people
Joining Peanut couldn’t have come at a better time. I had moved to a new town, given birth to my second daughter and not knowing much people in the neighbourhood was a whole new experience in itself. It’s been amazing getting to know other like minded women and mothers alike. I look forward to the many play dates, celebrations and occasions to come whilst making friends to last a lifetime.
2022-04-06
Lovely little app
This app is like a little hug in your pocket or as other moms I have met would say “It’s tinder for moms” 😂
I downloaded this app not long after having my second baby and I love it, you can swipe moms in your local area and get to know them and you can also talk to women all over the world on the apps feed! You also have discussions you can join on various things not just about being a mom but being a woman in general.
I felt a little lonely after having my daughter and this app has helped so much! I speak to some ladies almost every day and have even met a few since joining.
If you’re thinking about downloading the app, go for it! You’ll never look back!
2022-04-05
Great ways to connect!
I’m never one for writing reviews (I don’t usually have the time/ever wonder what to write) however this app is pretty good for Mums to be/already Mums/Step Mums etc. For me as a first time Mum there’s a lot of questions you may have and having the community of other Mums is a good way to have these answered. No question is right or wrong and there’s always someone willing to offer advice. It’s also a great way to meet new people whether there in your area or not and be able to connect with them and share tips and advice. Was worried to download the app at first but now realising there was no worry at all. Everyone is very nice!
2022-04-05
Horrendous
I downloaded this app thinking I might make some new friends as a new mum. This app is nothing but anxiety inducing, point scoring trash. Women ‘venting’ about their useless partners, and boasting about the correct way to do things. There was a post the other day from somebody that marked themselves as anonymous (shock) saying how her baby is so lucky to be breastfed as it means they won’t grow up with leukaemia or obesity. Seriously?? A lot of people unfortunately can’t breastfeed for a number of reasons. Why do women feel the need to shame each other about such sensitive topics? Every time I opened this app I felt sad and I definitely don’t need that in my life as a new mum. Good riddance
2022-03-15
Invaluable
Peanut has been invaluable for me! I joined when I was 5 months pregnant and very anxious. I loved chatting to other mums who were due around the same time as me, and reading all about product recommendations and baby must haves. For me though, Peanut really helped me most after my daughter was born, connecting me with new Mums who were muddling along. There was always some one there, even in the early hours. As a result of someone I got chatting to on here, I’ve made a wonderful friend and my baby has been able to socialise with them from such a tiny age. Thank you so much!!!!
2022-03-14
An excellent community!
I don’t often write reviews but Peanut is worthy of my first in a long time.
I joined Peanut when I found out that I was pregnant with my first child. I’d recently moved to a new area, was struggling to meet new people in the height of a pandemic and had nowhere and no one to turn to for support as a first time mum. Peanut allowed me to connect with other mums and mums to be in my local area, who offered lots of advice and reassurance, as well as stood with me every step of my pregnancy. Now that I’m 6 months postpartum, I am connecting with more mum’s & supporting other mum’s to be on their own journey.
5* ❤️
2022-02-11
Great App!!
The Peanut App is great. I downloaded it in December and I am on it everyday. I am currently pregnant and I have spoke to lots of mothers and expecting mothers too. I have even met up with a few. Great way to socialise, meet new people and potentially new friends. This app is also great for concerns and advice you have. So many groups you can join and follow. There are no limited questions. This app has podcasts too, which you can join or host; hosted by other members and even professionals like midwives and sleep coaches. You can see what podcasts are live and upcoming and even set reminders. I recommend downloading this app; it has made my pregnancy journey much easier :) 10 out of 10.
2022-02-10
If your looking for a good Free mum app this is for you!
I’ve had this app since September 2021 and was so glad I came across it! I’ve connected to many women and I really enjoy listening to the podcasts! I’m able to listen to and talk to other mums and even professionals! I HIGHLY recommend this app to anyone who is pregnant or trying to even already have kids! Can’t wait to see how much this app grows as its already so perfect :)
2022-02-10
Simply perfect
I’m a first time mum and I have no friends who have had babies, so advice and help was scarce… until I found this app! It’s been so helpful to engage with other women who are pregnant or have already got children. The advice is endless! Any questions or concerns you may be feeling are quickly answered and help is always there. It’s an amazing, friendly community and I’m so happy I found peanut!
2022-02-10
Glad I found this app
I never wrote reviews but this app is simply fantastic. I downloaded this at the beginning of the year in search of new mum friends with children close to my daughters age. Since using it I have spoken to numerous mums and even met up with one of them for a play date. I like how there's different podcasts too and like to keep up to date on all the posts. Would highly recommend this app to any mum to be, new mum or a mum looking for people to talk too.
2022-01-28
Unhappy
I’ve been unable to log in to my account shortly after making it as it’s apparently been banned for breaking guidelines - which guidelines these are I have no idea as the app doesn’t tell you and neither do you get an email to explain. I’ve had no explanation despite emailing peanut requesting to find out, which I don’t think is very good service. I can only imagine it’s a mistake, as I can’t imagine what guidelines I’ve broken, I’d hate to think I’d broken any and genuinely can’t think what they could be - so I think to ban someone for something they don’t even know they’ve done without so much as a warning is actually quite a terrible way of running things. I hope peanut can get better at communicating and responding to emails.
2022-01-24
Not that great.
I downloaded this app earlier in my pregnancy in the hopes of getting to know other new mums to be. At first it seemed good once you understand the whole swipe feature. It only shows you if you’ve “connected” with someone who has also swiped or waved at you. After a while I got chatting to a few mums but then that was it, it wasn’t really the greatest way to meet new mums to be etc. I also found a lot of the information on there was not very helpful as most of the stories were about scans and how many weeks each person was at in their pregnancy. I didn’t find this app was for me and it didn’t really help me get to know new people on the same journey as much as it does just by meeting people at hospital appointments really. Some may like this app but not for me.
2022-01-17
Excellent
Peanut has helped my social life come back since having children. As whilst I was pregnant and gave birth I lost a few friends and family. This happens to all women especially young mums. Peanut is literally my second home as I can talk to other mums without getting judged. I recommend to download this app as you’ll literally see it as your safe spot, somewhere you can talk without needing to explain anything to anyone as we’re all good listeners. You may even meet your best friend.

My Survival Tool
I join peanut over 3 years ago. I joined it to find women also struggling with fertility issues. In my 3 years I have learnt so much from other women and had some much support emotional and mentally. I’ve made some great friend who I’ve meet up with and formed amazing friendships and now we chat almost everyday. It’s a wonderful community for all issues infertility too motherhood and everything in between. I would highly recommend anyone who’s in need of some extra support or reassurance to download the app and become part of the family.

Really what I was looking for…
This app is a real game changer for women. I think when you’re pregnant you feel a bit isolated (even more so at the moment) and the forums where you can ask questions to put your mind at ease or meet up with women nearby… gives such a comfort. I’ve been using this app for about 1.5 months so far and I’m in love with it. I’ve met 3 ladies locally and talking to a few more. The forums and live chats have also been a real help.
Look no further!

Fantastic app for women
As a new mum I have found this app incredible. I wouldn’t be one to use forums etc but this app is so good, I have found myself both asking and answering questions aswell as browsing groups etc (which I mostly thought I’d be doing). It’s fantastic to have access to so many other mum going through the same things with babies of a similar age. The app is also fantastic for all stages of a women’s life, from menstruation to menopause aswell as all the stages association with maternity, conceiving etc. Cannot recommend this enough to women of any age and stage!

In LOVE with this app!
I absolutely love this app. I found out about peanut from a podcast, I’m a first time mum and I don’t have any mum friends as most of my friends have either had kids ages ago or don’t have any. So I can’t relate to anyone close by.
Peanut has such a brilliant community where we can all discuss and talk about the trivials of being a parent.
When I’m anxious, I go on peanut to ask questions or discuss any anxieties with other mums. I speak to other ladies often and it’s nice to feel like somewhere I belong.
The pods are so interesting as well. (Like a chat room) where you can either have a gab or discuss things (like teething or sleeping problems) and sometimes there are professionals on to join the conversation.
I don’t usually write reviews but this app has genuinely helped me through my first time as a mum, my little girl is 6 months now and I feel like I’m starting to get on my feet and that’s thanks to the community of women who have helped me through my anxieties.

5 stars!!
Not a big fan of social media, but so glad I came across this app. Not only has it gotten me through my pregnancy, but it’s given me the opportunity to connect with other mums around my area. I love the fact that when I’m unsure on something, I can go onto my app and ask for other woman's advice on things. Being a first time mum is not easy as it’s a learning curse but this app has honestly helped so much.

Great for mums
I joined this app as I found being a new mum very lonely (especially as the inevitable happened and I lost all my school friends…). I have had an amazing experience and met lots of new mums, some online and some in person - both have the added advantage of a conversation with another adult that isn’t family! Highly recommend joining - this app helps with everything from building friendships to asking for help and advice from fellow mums!

Glad I found peanut
I recently found out 3 weeks ago that I am pregnant! It’s a very exciting time for me and my partner, and I’d seen adverts about this app in the past. I’m so happy that it’s a lovely community of supportive and knowledgeable other mothers. The app automatically adds you into groups based on your due date, so you get to chat with people around the same gestation as you. There’s lots of forums and live chats, as well as a function (similar to tinder 🙊) where you can connect with a chat to other women in your area.
I highly recommend this app to anyone with children, TTC or pregnant. And I’ll definitely be using this app throughout my pregnancy.

Amazing app
I absolutely love this app!! It has helped me so much becoming a new mum to three babies, it helps you find people near you or have similar interests and matches you together to start a friendship. I’ve made several different friendships through this app and on the way to making so many more. So please if anyone if expecting a child or has them please download this app it’s an absolute lifesaver💕💕

Peanut makes Pregnancy and raising children easier
Pregnancy or raising children causes us to worry, ask a million questions and doubt ourselves. During lockdown it was even more isolating. With this app I’ve made so many connections, life long friends and a sense of calm from the forums. I can ask incognito or ask outright, no matter the question there are always many other mums to help answer. Will be using this for a very long time.

A must have for mums!
I downloaded Peanut after my baby was born and after moving to a new neighborhood. It made a huge difference (considering the current situation and lockdowns) in my life when I found out how many mothers nearby there were, and even not so nearby. I was able to chat and truly connect with some amazing mums, get advise from them or just talk about anything with like minded women.

Perfect for Mums!
An ideal app for somewhere to vent and ask any questions. Any questions really does mean exactly that, you can also ask and answer anonymously if you don’t feel comfortable sharing your identity but still want the support. There’s no holding back, any sensitive pictures and content are all screened through so it’s up to you if you’d like to view them. This is helpful particularly for things people normally wouldn’t post but us Mum’s would really like to see or get some advice on! A lovely community with some really great features.

Best mum app about
I joined peanut just after I had my second child, I felt very alone and didn’t have anyone to relate to or chat to about problems I was having. being a new mum 8years after my first it’s like going back to school. You Match with parents that have the same Interests and are local to you, they are genuine people and there is friends for everyone. Hopefully one day will get to meet up with some women I have met that I now call friends. I’m so glad I downloaded this and I would urge all mums to, there is forums for everything and if you need advice or somewhere to vent and not be judged this is the place to be! if you do join you will be made very welcome!

Racist
According to the creators of this app, you are labeled as a bully for having an opinion different to others, and for standing up for yourself. Claiming “rude and abusive” behaviour from you, even if you were the one who was being bullied in the first place & just defending yourself or someone else. They often side with the white women over POC. Majority of women i have come across on this app (including the creators of the app) are racist. I have been banned and pushed out, with no explanation or evidence to support the claim whatsoever, so now in the middle of a pandemic, i have to be alone with no one to talk to. I think i’d rather that than to be on an app created by racists.

Relief to hear other women in the same boat
Peanut has been a treasure trove of information! To the extent that I've stopped saying to my partner "So I read on Peanut..." quite so much and sometimes say "So I saw online..."! It's just so good for hearing from other women who are in the same boat.
I don't use the Tinder-style swiping feature all that much, but did connect with a few women in my local area which I think will be great for when we can start socialising again.
It has a few things in common with Mumsnet, but without the judgement, and intuitive to use because it's like other social media apps (eg the way you create a post and add photos), and great to be able to see where other people are based / what they're like.
I'm enjoying being part of it!

Incredible app, especially during the pandemic!
I found out I was pregnant at the start of the pandemic and was unable to visit the doctors / midwife as I usually would have done. As a first time mum it was a stressful and scary time. Discovering peanut helped me connect with lots of experienced mums who were able to give me the advice and help I was unable to seek elsewhere. It has been great to make mum friends who I cannot wait to meet up with once restrictions have been lifted! Whether you are trying to conceive, you’re pregnant or had 1,2 or 10 children, peanut is a fantastic app to meet friends and connect with likeminded women.

A must for all mums, mums to be & those hoping to conceive !
I couldn’t of gone without this app when I was pregnant it was SO helpful being able to communicate with women going through similar situations to me. Now that I’ve had my baby I use the app even more (I didn’t think that would be possible) I’ve met other mums in my local area through the swiping feature, and I’ve used the other groups on the app to discuss things that aren’t pregnancy related too!

Lockdown essential for new mums
I had my baby in May 2020 and was fortunate enough to connect with some amazing mums prior to the first major UK lockdown, and can count them as some of my best friends now. In addition I recently moved and without peanut wouldn't have met other mums as fast as I did. The advice and support you can receive on the app is brilliant. It has some design flaws, and as any social media platform has its pros and cons but overall would recommend peanut to any new mum!

Brilliant app
I’m not an app reviewer but this is such an awesome app. Perfect for people like me who have moved across the world, then to a new town, with a baby on the way it was so lovely talking to expecting mother’s.Then having my son getting help and advice in the forums. It’s been even better during lockdowns and being a new mum this year . I can honestly say I’ve met a handful of true friends off of here
I’m so grateful for this app really helped my mental Heath being heavily pregnant in the first lockdown not knowing anyone
I totally recommend this app to any mother expecting or a woman who has been ‘mumming’ a while

Invaluable app for mums!
Not only have I been able to meet new mums on the app, I have also been able to read articles and contribute to forums relevant to me & my little one.
My baby was born 3 months premature so we had 3 months hospital time, 3 months shielding at home, then shortly after, 3 months isolation for covid! Without this app I wouldn’t have been able to connect with others in my area and would have missed out on so much that has kept me sane while being at home with a newborn! I honestly think this app is invaluable for mums, especially first timers that may not know others with babies! Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Perfect way to connect
I have to be honest, I was a little unsure when I first went into the app however after using it, I love it! It’s let me connect with other mums by me during a time when it’s difficult to make connections. I have lovely conversations with some brilliant people and it helps knowing everyone is going through the same thing. I can’t wait til lockdown is over and baba can hopefully meet some new friends.

Amazing app, great way to connect and get advice
I don’t tend to write a lot of reviews but I just wanted to say this app is brilliant. I downloaded the app when I found out was pregnant which was at the beginning of lockdown. During lockdown it’s a weird time for everyone and the first month or two of pregnancy was extremely lonely. I was the first person in my friendship group to be pregnant and I was struggling hard with the 1st trimester. I post my worries and struggles and there were amazing women on the other side with fantastic advice and help. Also I’ve had a few issues with my hospital and it great to find out if these things were “normal” and what steps to take next. I realised quickly this app had been a lifesaver. Also I’m excited to meet these lovely mamas-to-be when we can finally socialise again.
Thank you Peanut. You have no idea how much you have helped in a short amount of time!

Best App I’ve found so far!!
Being an anxiety sufferer! This app is amazing for new mams and mams to be.
I absolutely love this and I’ve met so many new people already it’s made me feel less anxious about motherhood being able to talk to others!
ONE problem is it keeps showing me with people who don’t live anywhere near me e.g- England and I have my distance set to only 10 miles so I’m confused as to why it’s showing some people I’m not in distance with- that’s the only flaw of this app otherwise I love it and would highly recommend it!!!

Great App
I downloaded this App to see if there were any other fellow mama’s in my area and I was shocked as to how many there were! I’ve had some great chats and even met up with a lovely lady in a town near where I live. It was so nice to be able to meet someone who I would have probably never met if it wasn’t for the Peanut App. It’s also great that you can see how old their babies/children are to ensure you can meet someone who is going through similar stuff so you don’t feel so alone if you don’t have many friends with babies!

Argh why FB login
Hello,
I was so excited to download this app as I’ve been hearing wonderful things about it recently through a few different podcasts I listen to and I really felt the need to connect with other mums that aren’t on your typical social networking platforms. So I was really disappointed when I can either only log in via Facebook or google. I removed my fb account a few months ago and don’t have a google account and don’t want to create another online ID.
I understand the reasons why you’ve chosen this and that logistically it makes sense to use these two platforms but I assumed it was more of an internal app if that makes sense where I’d create a log in specifically for Peanut.
I’m not deleting the app but living in hope that other sign up options become available other than using existing social media accounts.
