App to meet mum friends - anyone tried any?

I’ve thought about this for some time but often talk myself out of it. I’m looking to widen my friendship group, I have a few acquaintances that meet up very sparsely which is fine, a best friend which I’m in regular contact with and she’s ace, a very long term best friend >20 years but appear but be taking different paths.

Has anyone ever used an app to meet mum friends. Ideally I’d like this to include my children too and occasions without. I feel a bit of a goon but it’s pointless whinging about being lonely and not trying to do anything about it, so experiences very welcome.

I've tried Mush - I didn't have much luck with it with my first child where I was living previously, but moved just before lockdown and decided to try again a few weeks ago - met a nice woman with a little girl the same age as mine on the park last week and have tentative plans to go to soft play together this week which is great. So may be worth a go.
Good luck with it - I did feel awkward but it was really nice to have a chat and meet someone new.

I used mush when I moved a couple of years ago, met up with a couple of mums from there a few times that summer, still see one occasionally, it was a good place to start, and got me out to a few new places in the first few months. I had little children at the time, so met a few more through preschool and toddler group.

I’ve used Peanut. Have recently met up with someone who was nice and I think we’ll probably keep in touch

Thanks for your positive experiences. I’ll take a look at those.
Glad it’s working for you.
Like many I don’t seem to chat too much at school drop off etc as staggered starts but hopefully that’ll change when school reintroduce normal start and finish times this week.
