They say two heads are better than one and when it comes to motherhood, it seems highly applicable.
This is why MApp The Smart Mommy App Co-Founders LJ Reyes and Trix Ciosoro decided to merge their ideas instead of competing against each other, to form one super app with the end goal of helping other moms with conquering motherhood with a tap!
But their story is not as common.
In fact, up until early 2018, LJ and Trix didn't even know one onother except for the fact that they knew each one had their own mom-friendly opp.
In 2015, three months into becoming a new mom, Trix created Mommily a mobile app that helped moms find baby-friendly places in the city out of a personal need to go around town with kids in town. It went live on Mother's Day of 2015.
A year later, LJ, a seasoned actress and well known celebrity, was trying to find practical ways to spend time with her son Aki now that he is growing Up and needing more activities to do outside the home. In September 2016, LJ launched the very first version of MApp The Smart Mommy App, 0 mobile opp that listed kid-related products and places to go to in the city.
And in October 2017, their paths crossed.
Trix was on the verge of selling Mommily and its shores since she and her family have moved out of the city and she felt it would be nearly impossible to operate the business outside of Manila. Her first instinct? Sell it to her main competitor, LJ of MApp.
At the very first meeting, these two mompreneurs knew right away that nothing was going to get sold, and no one is buying. Instead, they decided to merge their mobile apps to make one bigger, better mom and baby friendly app that every mom will benefit from.
Apart from loving motherhood, LJ, now with two kids, Aki and Summer and Trix. also with two kids lly and Aman, are both passionate about making motherhood accessible to ALL moms.
They want to advocate families spending time together outside the home not only as often as they can but with the least stress possible which is why clean lines and user friendly UI were paramount in designing MApp.
They believe that this platform will not only help moms get around the city with ease but that it will create a significant pulse in changing the way malls and establishments lay out their floor plans making sure they provide ample facilities for moms and all parents especially those with young children.
MApp will be available to download for FREE on iOS and Android starting June 29.
