### 4/5 — Could use more emotion options

*2018-09-09, version 2.1.2*

I love the concept of being able to post my feelings on a platforms that’s meant for it is nice but I wish it have more emotion options or even be able to combine emotions cause it feels like it’s a little small on the choices

### 2/5 — Ok, but 2 things

*2018-09-03, version 2.1.2*

I like the purpose of this app and the look of it is nice, however...

1. It does crash after a couple minutes which is a little frustrating, it’s not that big of a deal though.

2. You do have to give a phone number and location which is a bit worrying and if someone were to try zooming in close enough they can see your street name and where you are on that street clear as day. So much for being anonymous :/.

### 3/5 — Great idea, app needs work.

*2018-06-14, version 2.1.2*

I love the idea that people can vent and express their feelings anonymously without feeling judged. However, the commenting is a little inconsistent. It’s hard to tell if my comment has posted or not, and sometimes the keyboard stays on the screen stops me from being able to read anything.

### 4/5 — Very good except for....

*2018-06-04, version 2.1.2*

This app is very good and I would recommend you get it but the thing is, that it crashes way to much. Every time I tried to open the app and go to community it would crash. It is still a great app either way!

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2018-06-03, version 2.1.2*

Perfect way for me to vent anonymously without worrying! The only problem I have is I don’t know how to unfriend someone/stop open up.

### 4/5 — questions

*2018-05-27, version 2.1.2*

this isn’t really a review, mostly questions to anyone who’d be able to answer them, if you wouldn’t mind. 

1. is there any way to block a friend?
2. how would one add a number so you can send messages in response to peoples comments?
3. is there any easier form of response/chat between users? 

i would ask these questions to the developers, but there is no way to contact them as of now, and there’s no FAQ yet either.

### 4/5 — love it

*2018-05-24, version 2.1.2*

i love this app, but i feel like there should be more moods/feelings on there besides the most common ones

### 2/5 — really confusing

*2018-05-20, version 2.1.2*

really confusing, i dont know what the different shades mean and i dont know how to delete an emotion i accidentally added. add a tutorial or something?

### 4/5 — Good app

*2018-05-19, version 2.1.2*

I really like this app for occasional use! It’s fun to see how I feel in the span of a week and it’s awesome to have a place to vent. Feels great!

Some ideas: maybe add more feelings. You have good ones already but hurt and apathetic may be good ones to add. 
I see lots of comments about contact abilities being weird, I haven’t had a problem about that but fix the fact that random ppl can contact you.
And maybe do where you can see your feelings through a month or a year.
I just wish more ppl used this app. I wanna connect with those around where I live but there’s hardly any...

### 3/5 — Eh

*2018-05-03, version 2.1.1*

I would really like to use this app, but the fact that you can only use your phone number to get started really bothers me. I think including an Email option would be good. Also a broader spectrum of emotions, half the time I wanna put a certain emotion in to log it and I can’t because it isn’t even close to being on the spectrum set up.

### 3/5 — Love!

*2018-05-02, version 2.1.1*

Great app! Keeps crashing on me (iPhone 7Plus) at the start though 😭 My software is up to date. As soon as it stops closing, it's 5 stars!

### 1/5 — Gives me anxiety

*2018-04-19, version 2.1.1*

I got this app without realizing when you open up to people they then have access to your number
I have huge anxiety, do not like
Does anyone know if you do delete it that your number can’t be called by those who you’ve opened up too?

### 2/5 — Comments

*2018-04-15, version 2.1.1*

This app is great except for one thing, when people open up to you, you can’t read the WHOLE comment they write under your emotion. So how can they make me feel better if I can’t scroll down on their comment and read all of it?

### 4/5 — Wonderful but confusing

*2018-04-11, version 2.1.1*

I love the app and everything about its system. The way you can contact people to help them or to tall to them based on feelings and things of the such. And because you allow someone to have your actual phone number it feels more person which is better in many situations. My only problem though is that opening up doesn't specifically mean “I want you to text/call me.” There should be a message system within the app so you don't have to share your number. Or my other idea was when you “open up” you should be able to add a comment when you do it along the lines of. “Please call/text me” or “Please don’t call or text me” and in reference to my last idea “Message me in the app.” And finally of course you could make the contact button completely separate as to completely specify that you need to be contacted. Thats all wonderful app 4/5 stars

### 1/5 — Expired?

*2018-04-01, version 2.1.1*

I can’t even start the app. I put in my number (i tried this more than one time.) and it sends me the code and there. Code expired?

### 4/5 — overall okay

*2018-04-01, version 2.1.1*

overall pretty good but after you friend someone they get your phone number so

### 3/5 — Great Concept, Bad Execution

*2018-03-31, version 2.1.1*

I love the concept of the app but there are lots of issues. 
It always crashes, you can’t edit posts, it’s not really anonymous, etc. 
Fix that and this app could be great. 
If not for the nice idea and design, I wouldn’t given this one star.

### 1/5 — STOLEN APP?

*2025-12-04, version 2.1.3*

It appears this concept came in to play in 2015 from a BLACK INNOVATOR named ""Ziarekenya Smith"". They are not listed nor is inpath.co or any likeness mentioned. Given your company came along in 2021 (which is when the Inpath.co app was getting alot of traction) it is looking like a very concerning timeline of events. Can you shed any light? Im sure youve had to hear of the app or maybe theres some link the public cant see but now knowing this it looks really bad!

### 1/5 — Defeats The Purpose

*2024-10-25, version 2.1.3*

What good does anonymity do on this app when you have to invite people?

### 1/5 — What the What???

*2021-08-10, version 2.1.2*

I click get started. It asks me me for my phone number. I insert my number and click verify. The app repeatedly tells me number can’t be identified.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-12-28, version 2.1.2*

Won’t even recognize my phone number to get anywhere in the app

### 1/5 — Help

*2019-12-19, version 2.1.2*

When I download the app and then open it it’ll ask for my phone number I put my number in and it says try again

### 1/5 — Can’t use!

*2019-12-04, version 2.1.2*

I’m using WiFi and it can’t verify my phone number. 😢

### 1/5 — BUGS! NO SUPPORT FROM ADMIN

*2018-12-04, version 2.1.2*

This app is a fantastic concept but the whole point is to encourage people to empathize with each other right? Well good luck doing that when ALL COMMENTS CUT OFF AFTER LIKE 20 CHARACTERS and there is NO way to know the other person’s full message. There’s zero customer support so I have no way of reporting this to the developers, so I just hope they can fix this soon because I really think this app could be something great.

### 1/5 — Not safe!

*2018-08-15, version 2.1.2*

If you can figure out how to continue zooming in even after the app wants to draw back, you can see the exact location of someone (a user’s house and what street it’s on). Not good!!! 😱
Also, there isn’t a way to delete an account. Navigating the app is odd and not easy. Luckily I never posted anything. Definitely won’t be using it.

### 1/5 — What’s the problem?

*2018-07-23, version 2.1.2*

Tried to share how i felt and it wouldn’t let me continue.

### 1/5 — Creepy

*2018-07-11, version 2.1.2*

I deleted this app as soon as it asked for my phone number- when I read the reviews here I was glad that I didn’t enter my phone number! I do not want strangers calling/texting!

### 5/5 — Great app, I just have a suggestion

*2018-09-25, version 2.1.2*

I love this app because I have finally a place to vent. What I really wish the app had is a chat inside the app instead of using the phone number because not all people put that information in/want to be called or texted by their number

### 5/5 — Helpful!

*2018-05-04, version 2.1.1*

Excellent app! It really helps me to write out how I feel. I really enjoy that people can comment on how your feeling! It’s helped me a ton and I’ve had it for two weeks!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-04-14, version 2.1.1*

I love how you can see what others are going through and it really makes you feel like you aren’t alone

### 5/5 — Empty

*2018-03-01, version 2.1.1*

I love this app. It gives you the option to record your feeling with descriptions so you can look back on it and remember it. I have a few suggestions for feelings:

-Empty/vacant
-Mischievous
-Fidgety
-Shook

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2017-05-03, version 1.2.0*

What a beautiful idea! Just figure out the viral hook to get the network effects going!

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-12-31, version 1.0.3*

I love this app. It lets me share my emotions anonymously so if I'm embarrassed I can still share and people won't know who it is.

### 5/5 — Love the update

*2016-12-22, version 1.0.2*

I really love the simplicity in sharing and export emotions.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2016-11-11, version 1.0.1*

Love this concept of being able to share how I'm feeling and then connect to people in a trusted community.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2016-10-01, version 1.0.0*

Most apps let people show their "best life." This app lets you share your real life. Easy to use, interesting to read, and can't wait to see where it goes next.

### 5/5 — Exceeds expectations

*2016-10-01, version 1.0.0*

A great app with an excellent UI
