The MyMob App

Important Update: MyMob App Retirement on April 30th

The MyMob app, developed by Drummond Street Services Inc. for Stepfamilies Australia in 2015, aimed to foster positive communication among family members will soon retire on Tuesday, April 30th

Despite our efforts to secure funding for updates, the app’s current functionality is challenging and frustrating, with no updates since November 2017, rendering it incompatible with newer devices.

What this means for you:

  • Find an alternative way to communicate with your family/partner.
  • If you use the app due to a parenting order, contact us for a letter stating its discontinuation after April.
  • Request a transcript of your messages before retirement.

We appreciate your loyalty and support, confirming the app’s importance. To make a final stand, Below are two templates for you to send to your Premier or Mark Dreyfus, the current Attorney General. Your support may help secure the $300,000 needed to implement MyMob version 2, a pro bono prototype by a digital company.

For questions, contact us at info@stepfamilies.org.au.
