10/10

In the first day of using this app I’ve connected with someone who deals with the same condition as me and for the first time since being diagnosed, I don’t feel so alone.

Thank you to the creators of this app, what a wonderful thing you have created ❤️

Great way to connect anonymously with others going through the same struggles

I found Alike by accident and am I glad I did! I’ve been able to connect with other people dealing with the same conditions I have as well as review the treatments I’ve tried. I can speak candidly here, as I’m anonymous so no worries about who might read my very honest posts. I’ve been able to gather a community of people like me who really understand what having chronic conditions is like. I highly recommend this app for others who are looking for a tool that will help them feel connected and provide support and advice.

Thank you, Braeburn Girl, for sharing your positive experience with Alike. It's wonderful to hear that you've been able to find support and understanding through the app, and that you feel comfortable sharing your experiences with others in a safe and anonymous environment. I'm glad the app has been helpful for you and I hope it continues to provide the support and resources you need.

What a hidden gem!

This app is a really good place to find people who are experiencing the same health issues as you. Everyone is so kind and supportive here. It’s also a great place to gain perspective on life and how many people are in the same situation. The Alike Devs team is always trying to come up with better ways to improve the app. They are great at asking Alike users input on ways to improve. I’m an Alike user and as a member of this community we welcome all walks of life. 🫶🏽

Thanks, kratomeater, for sharing this and for highlighting the supportive and inclusive community within the app. It's great to have you as our advocate! We're so glad that you feel welcomed as a member of the community. Thank you for your kind words and for spreading the word about this valuable resource.

if I could give it zero I would

This app is predatory to disabilities and long term illnesses and yes the premise is okay but this kind of environment (befriending someone by seeing their conditions and medications) and basing your decision off that is just plain wrong.

Also they reached out to a large tiktok creator
saying they’d pay them in ‘exposure’ and specified they’d have to talk about their trauma and recruit others to be ambassadors for this stupid app!

stay clear of this, find friendships and community in your own time and way this app will drag you into a spiral of wanting to be the ‘sickest’ and that isn’t what anyone needs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I don’t normally rate apps, this particular one has been a lifesaver, I can finally relate and have things in common with different people that suffer with conditions the same as myself. It’s been great talking about it and knowing your not on your own. Thank you .
