[Mobile App Pod Listing](https://help.mamava.com/delivery-installation?hsLang=en#mobile-app-pod-listing) # Mamava Apps: What They Are + How They Work ## We offer two mobile apps designed for different parts of the experience: one for breastfeeding and pumping parents, and one for pod owners. This article explains what each app does, how pods appear in the apps, and what to do if you can’t find or access a pod. ### **The Mamava App** The free Mamava app helps breastfeeding and pumping parents find lactation spaces wherever they go. With the Mamava app, users can: - Find Mamava pods and other approved lactation spaces - Search for lactation spaces near their current location or at a destination - Save favorite locations - Get information about available lactation spaces before they arrive - Unlock eligible Mamava pods from their phone - Adjust pod features such as lighting, where supported - Access breastfeeding and pumping resources The app includes both Mamava pods and other crowd-sourced lactation spaces that have been submitted to and vetted by our team. #### **Using the app to access a Mamava pod** Pods equipped with compatible Smart Access technology can be unlocked with the Mamava app. Bluetooth must be turned on for app-based pod access. Tech-free pods do not support app-based unlocking. When users are near an eligible pod, the app can identify the pod and provide an option to unlock it. --- ### **The Mamava for Business App** The Mamava for Business app allows owners of pods with the Linnea lock the ability to manage pin codes. Upon receiving your Mamava pod, pod owners will be able to download the free app and register to change, add, or delete the four-digit pin codes. Learn more about setting up the Mamava for Business app and customizing pin codes[here](https://help.mamava.com/how-do-i-add-an-access-code-on-the-lock?hsLang=en). --- ### **How Does My Mamava Pod Appear in the Mamava App?** Mamava customers can choose how their pod is displayed in the Mamava app based on the location and access requirements of the space. #### **Public** A **Public** pod is available to all breastfeeding and pumping parents. Public pods appear in app search results and provide the full range of supported app functionality, including wayfinding, occupancy and vacancy information, and app-based entry where available. **Best for:** Public spaces where anyone who needs a lactation space should be able to find and use the pod. #### **Limited** A **Limited** pod is available to a specific group of users or under specific access conditions. For example, a pod may be located in a business that only allows access to employees or customers, or in a venue that requires a ticket for entry. The pod can still appear in app search results, but will be identified as having limited access. **Best for:** Employee-only spaces, customer-only spaces, ticketed venues, or locations with other access requirements. #### **Limited Bluetooth** A **Limited Bluetooth** pod is displayed in app search results only when a user is within Bluetooth range of the pod. Outside of that range, app functionality is reduced, and the pod is identified as having limited access. **Best for:** Locations where the pod should only be discoverable by users who are physically near it. #### **How do I choose a listing?** After your Mamava pod is installed, let us know how you'd like it listed by completing the [Pod Relocation Form](https://share.hsforms.com/1diJZiJYZRYCqeHLAFkixBQ1j8ir). Once your listing is confirmed, use the Mamava app to test your pod and make sure the supported app features are working as expected. --- ### **What If I Move My Mamava Pod?** If you move your Mamava pod—even if you're moving it to a different location within the same building—let our team know. The pod's location needs to be updated so breastfeeding and pumping parents can find it accurately in the Mamava app and website location finder. After moving your pod, complete the \[Mamava pod location update form\] with the new location information, and we’ll update the listing for you. **Important:** Please update your pod's location whenever it moves. An outdated location can prevent users from finding the pod when they need it. --- ### **Why Can't the Mamava App Find My Pod?** If you're near a Mamava pod and the app doesn't automatically locate it, try the following: 1. **Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.** Bluetooth is required for app-based pod access. 2. **Open the Mamava app and look for the unlock option.** You may be able to select the unlock button manually rather than waiting for the app to automatically identify the pod. 3. **Force quit and restart the app.** 4. **Check the pod's keypad, if applicable.** A blinking red light may indicate that the keypad battery needs to be replaced. If you're still unable to locate or access the pod, contact service@avapods.com for assistance. --- ### **Need Help?** If you're a breastfeeding or pumping parent having trouble finding or accessing a Mamava pod, [contact us](https://avapods.com/contact-us/).
