Amazing!
As a first time mom, I didn’t know I needed the community that this app provides. The middle of the night feeds, the “am I doing this right”, the “why can’t I get baby down”, the “am I the only one that feels this way”. You’re not alone, you’re not the only one. You can see other moms who are awake and have their light on. The message board where moms encourage each other or ask the question that you feel uncomfortable asking in person. It’s a community that has helped me get through some tough nights and days.

I really appreciate this app. It’s nice to see all the moms in the world that are in the same season as you. You don’t feel alone.
Truly helpful
Any mom could benefit from this app, especially ones “in the thick of it”. Moms supporting other moms during one of the hardest seasons.
My light is on!
I live and support this idea ! Thank you
Essential for a first time mom
This app has been a godsend as a first time mom! Sending and receiving hugs and waves from other moms who are also awake in the middle of the night brought me tears of relief on more than one occasion. The circle feature also gave me a small group of new mom friends from around the country who I now talk to constantly about all things babies and postpartum! Thank you for this app 💜

love it
i’m a first time mom and have been super scared for postpartum. this app gives me comfort during the late night/early morning feedings when it’s just me and baby :)
Cute app. Disgusting it’s a subscription
Update: I know the pop up suggestion to join subscription has an exit button. That’s not what im talking about. I’m talking about limiting the connections we can have if we don’t pay. Limited hugs and light, limited posting. Etc. THAT is what I’m talking about.
Yalls whole thing is being there for postpartum moms and having us feel not alone. Yet it’s behind a paywall. Disgusting. Beautiful idea. The whole thing. Ridiculous it costs MONEY.

Why can’t this be free?
I like the idea of this app, but why can’t it be free for everyone? I don’t have the money to spend on a subscription while I am struggling myself.
Wish I had this sooner
I adore this app. I wish I had it sooner in my second pregnancy, & definitely during my first. One of the biggest things I struggled with was feeling alone. “Who else is up at 3am? Just me? Cool”. This app reminds me that other moms are up too, & I get to read their random messages & thoughts. How their days/nights are going & knowing I’m not alone in this, even if it feels like it. Honestly, I love this app🫶🏻

A wonderful app for moms to connect, I look forward to lighting my beacon and giving little updates and reading updates with my circle. A very sweet idea especially for those struggling with being a mom and feeling alone. We’re all in this together 💕
The best!
This is truly a gem of an app. When you’re in the thick of it at 3am with your baby, there is something really special about reviving a “hug” from someone random from across the globe that’s also in the thick of it with you. Makes me feel so seen. I love this app!
Support where you need it most
This app is such a LIGHT (no pun intended) — I was struggling with feeds at night, feeling so lonely and having no one that understood me close by. With this, I can reach out and see others who are going through the same thing I am, with their babies in their arms. PPD/PPA is hard to navigate through but this sheds a layer off of it. Thank you Amanda for creating such a safe place.

Wonderful App
This app has been amazing for my postpartum journey knowing I’m not alone in the middle of the night and those early morning feedings. Not only is there such a supportive community within the app but the app is easy to use and other moms have great advice for us first time moms. Such a wonderful idea!!

Love !!! Must have
Wish I heard of this sooner , I love that it’s the perfect amount of we are here just enough to listen and to speak.
Beacon is a lifesaver.
I’m a new mom. Freshly PP 4 months. And I cannot tell you how many times it has been 2am up with a crying baby, no sleep and I just felt alone. And then a notification would pop up.. “would you like to light your beacon.” Going onto beacon and seeing the world of moms all awake dealing with the exact same thing as me I know it sounds silly but it calmed my nerves knowing I’m not alone awake in this big old world. There’s thousands of other mother’s awake. Venting, asking questions or giving messages of hope and prayer. Thank you to the creators of beacon from a new mom who desperately needed to be seen and heard by someone other than my baby 😂😭🥹🙏🏻

Needs a higher character limit!
If I could give this a 4.5 I would because I love this app so much. Being able to connect with moms all over the world has helped me so much from seeing similar situations I am dealing with as well as the private insights from other moms who reply to my posts. My one and only issue I have with this app is that the character count limits just isn’t enough, I have more things to say then just 100 words and I feel as though this app would be so much better if moms didn’t have to water down their words in order to be able to make a post or reply to someone- it’s hard to come up with a short answer for something that may need a longer explanation. It’s not like if I made one post I could just make another post after that because I would have to wait an hour before I could type out another 100 word post and by that time I probably would’ve forgotten what it was I had to say or the first half would be lost in the other posts that moms make. I think this app would benefit from a higher character count and until then it’s great but not perfect.

Needed this support
I’m a second time mom of two under 2 and postpartum has hit me harder now than it did before. A mom posted this app on a group I’m in and said it helped her feel not so alone. I used the app for the first time yesterday and instantly felt better doing the nighttime feedings and diaper changes by myself. Because I knew I wasn’t actually alone. I’m so grateful to use this app, even if it’s just the free version.💜

Best App Ever 💕
After I had my baby I felt like I was drowning in loneliness and depression. My sister suggested that I try this app, and it has changed everything. Tracking everything from how long my nurses on each side to how long he sleeps has been so helpful. I’ve made friends with the women in my first circle, we’re in a group text now and we talk every day.

Exceptional
My baby’s just turned 13 months old and I found out about your app 2 weeks ago and I really suffered with friends dropping off, breastfeeding, sleeping, postnatal depression and anxiety and I would have loved to have had support and to remind myself there’s other mums going through the exact same experience. Your app has saved a part of me that I didn’t know I needed, just have a hug sent to me and seeing all the other warm lights on during the night when I’ve been struggling most is what counts. Thank you for creating this space for all us mums. We are all navigating hard times together 💛

Every parent needs this app!!
This app is amazing for pregnancy and everything after that. It’s such a nice reminder that we aren’t alone especially during the dark moments. When you literally are in the dark, silence surrounds you… or a constant crying. This app is great for it all! 🙌
