  • Great idea for those close to or in a crisis

    The circle feature is a phenomenal for accomplishing accountability. The feature to let your circle know if you miss a check in is amazing for anyone experiencing a mental episode but who lives alone or physically far from loved ones. The one touch check in is great as well for welfare checks for addicts for example. The journaling feature could have helpful prompts for those new or who struggle with writing their problems. Great idea for an app and could be a great service to the community

  • Good idea

    The idea for the app is a good one. I can see how having a support circle and tracking each other’s moods could improve mental health. However, there are a few problems. One, the app can be difficult to navigate. Second, there aren’t that many features yet. Third, many features the app does have are locked behind a paid subscription model that is in my opinion overpriced. Overall a good idea that has room for improvements to really make it work.

  • Good app, would like to see a bit more to it.

    I like the app. I like the idea of it. I like how you can check in at certain times of the day to see how you are feeling and that you can create like a supportive group by adding your family and friends. I would like to see an education section added, so that you can learn more about mental health and have tips for dealing with certain issues that may arise for the user.

  • Cool idea! Needs some work

    I think that this app has very good intentions in that it is striving to make mental health a topic to share with those close in your life. This app makes it easy to touch in with close ones and check on how they are feeling and vice versa with you. I think that I would recommend an option of words to describe how they are feeling along with the scale already implemented. A list including words like "anxious, stressed, tired, excited, hopeful." I feel as though this would create topics and promote using the journal function as it would create more of a prompt for that section.

  • Very innovative!

    I like the app and it’s simplicity. It’s a good way to keep in check with your family, especially family
    members that may worry you. The only thing I wish they had were some forums, or articles. You know, like some about moods or different mental health issues. It would give you something more to do or be interested in about the app and likely to use it more often.

  • Solid but basic

    Decent app to be able to check in and monitor your daily mood. I like that you can manually check in multiple times a day or set a check in time. It’s simple and easy to use but I would like a few more features. Something to track activities to see how that correlates to mood would be cool. Suggestions for mood improvement would be great too.

  • Needs more features

    The simplicity of this app is both it’s greatest strength and greatest downfall. I could easily get tired of “just checking in” daily. I like that friends and family can do it too, but why check in virtually on an app when a phone call or a FaceTime is actually way better for your mental health? I think it lacks features that would truly make it an app specializing in the mental health realm. Maybe articles by qualified individuals about various mental well-being topics. It would be nice to have a checklist of sorts, with emphasis on just completing tasks one at a time. Alerts to breathe, relax, walk outside, etc would be nice and could positively impact mental health. Also quotes based on your responses- so something encouraging when you’re happy and a sort of “I get it” when you e had just a bleh day.

  • Good idea! Could definitely expand features!

    I think is a great idea especially in a world where people are more and more removed from each other. I couldn’t evaluate the emergency contact feature without paying to subscribe, so not sure about how that works but as more features are added that would be a good one to make part of the free subscription. I think if people are in a place where that feature is going to come in handy they may not be willing to pay to access it.
    I think it would be cool if it could access your phones contacts, I for one don’t have very many peoples numbers memorized so I had to switch back and forth to add people.

  • Good idea but could use UI improvements

    I am having trouble adding a review, but I think if it could be implemented better this could prove a vital tool in the pursuit of mental health! I wish there was an easier way to add people to my circle & that the signup process wasn’t so clunky (took me 5 tries just to get my phone to let me in!) but other than that I could see myself using it!

  • Decent mental health app

    The best part about this app is its simplicity. It seems like a good resource, especially for people who might live alone and/or the elderly.

    I like the idea of checking in and having your contacts know how your mental state is. It’s easy to choose what mood you’re in & you can add notes if you want to. The reminders for check-ins are useful.

    I think it would be beneficial to have some mental health resources on the app such free meditation links or maybe some self-help articles.
