We recently released a new update to MamaBear in the Google Play and iTunes stores with a focus on connecting the family. Prior to app version 4.0 the child’s view of the app was a separate interface with limited check in features. Our family empathy research and your feedback lead us to redesign the child view so all family members have a similar experience with a desire to find each other and share custom messages and images with their check ins.
Check out the new features of MamaBear 4.0:
A redesign for the kids in the family
- A news feed of their own compiles messages and check ins.
- Kids can check in with a custom messages, a selfie or choose from a new set of emoticons.
- Now with a map view, kids have a chance to see all family members’ location.
Optional guardian location sharing
- Guardians in the family can turn location sharing on and off to be included on the family map view for all family members.
