Upon sign-up, you'll find 25+ community-wide discussion channels covering a range of topics, ranging from serious topics such as body image, mental health, discrimination, BIPOC, and anxiety, to lighter content, including pets, memes, and more. You'll also have the opportunity to join a more focused small group consisting of up to 20 young people within two years’ age of each other, led by a trained youth facilitator.

How we prioritize participant safety: 1. Privacy and safety are important and no personal identifying or contact information may be provided at any time within the app. 2. No one-on-one communication is permitted or even possible within app functionality. All communication exists within group discussion spaces. 3. All discussions are moderated by trained Youth Facilitators with the capability to hide and/or delete content that violates Community Guidelines. 4. Harassment or bullying of any kind is not tolerated and will result in removal from the app. 5. Each participant is asked and encouraged to flag any comment or thread that does not respect the rules, or just doesn’t feel right, using our easy, anonymous reporting feature within the app. 6. No adult content may be shared. Content shared in the app must come from an approved source and must be appropriate for users under age 18. We also may utilize third party AI tools for vetting content for safety and compliance with Community Guidelines. At no time will personal information about app participants be shared with third parties without prior authorization. 7. A Community Care and crisis response team with professional, clinical mental health backgrounds is available to support Youth Facilitators with situations requiring crisis escalation or other challenges during peak usage hours, seven days a week. 8. Participants may contact Community Care at any time in the app using the easy contact form or at info@giveusthefloor.org.

Can’t sign up. Please test your app before you ship it to the public and stop vibe coding slop. ### 4/5 — Broken *2025-11-12* I had the app for a while and I loved it but I accidentally left my group chat and I sent a message to the support line. When they said they added me back it broke the app and said something was wrong with the string type. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and it was still broken. **Developer response:** Hey there, this sounds frustrating -- we have issued fixes since you reported this problem that we believe have solved it completely. If you are still experiencing issues, please reach out at info@giveusthefloor.org. We don't want you to be left without support! ### 4/5 — Needs fixing *2025-10-24* I really like this app and have already started to make new friends! It’s really good and has good spaces for venting. However, I do think it could use some change. For one, it won’t let people reply to each other, nor will it let us see if someone is typing. Which caused problems for me immediately right off the bat when talking to new people. The app is structured strangely and is kinda dark, it feels sorta overwhelming and not very positive by appearance. ### 2/5 — Needs major improvements but seems not being updated *2025-03-10, version 1.4.2* The app is a really cool idea, but unfortunately wasn’t executed well. I wish it had a bigger team/budget because it could’ve been good. The verification process is a bit of a pain, but understandable. However, I hate that you have to keep getting text notifications even after verifying with a phone number. There’s no way to turn them off. The layout is very bare bones. For some reason, the chat is cleared every couple days, making it very hard to keep conversations going unless the other person is checking in very regularly. This is probably the biggest detractor from the app. I’m currently looking to switch groups, as mine is very inactive. I only spoke to two people, and one barely said anything. They have a general resource page on the app with broken links. I told the team, maybe it’s been fixed by now. Same can be said for their YouTube channel, which seemed unmoderated, so I had to tell them about the hate comments being left on videos. Again, this might’ve been fixed by the time you’re reading this. They’re in a weird in between state when it comes to the amount of responsibility they place on users. One problem is the lack of activity. They tried to fix this by removing people after a few months of inactivity, but it didn’t work. I think they should either make those restrictions even tighter, or, better yet, let people freely see activity level and choose groups themselves. This way, active members can easily congregate. This is the way most social apps of this kind work. They seem to justify the choice of only allowing one very small group per person by saying it makes it more intimate/easy to moderate/similar to group therapy. But an online dynamic is just not the same, and they ended up failing on every end by trying to have their cake (a social app) and eat it too (a group therapy model). The current setup makes the app frustratingly restrictive, while STILL failing to do what they set out to do (make a close knit/active but safe community). Very disappointed here. I believe the app would be better if they leaned further into a normal social/communication app layout (think Discord or Amino), or just gave up and decided to make regular group therapy sessions. Traditional group therapy (that happens to be online) would allow them to stick to their vision/values while preventing the problems that have appeared. Activity wouldn’t be spread so thin because there’d be limited scheduled meetings. It wouldn’t allow them to serve as many people, but they are clearly lacking in demand anyway. I’m sorry to anyone working on this project who had high hopes for it, but the app ended up pretty nonfunctional, and it seems there’s no plans to fix it. I’m probably going to delete if my new group doesn’t work out. ### 5/5 — Great App (Read if you disagree) *2024-06-12* This app is great for those in need of a support group or who need to share their feelings and experiences with others. I want to remind anyone considering leaving a negative review based on the format/rules of the group that this app is supposed to be modeled after a therapy support group and isn’t a form of social media or texting. As someone whos been in multiple irl support groups, these rules are pretty universal and are in place to ensure the safety of members if someone voices intent to hurt themselves (this may seem annoying to those of you who want the freedom to share your true feelings or intents without consequence, but the the rules are there for a reason. if this is you, please work with the system and share how u feel anyways.(ik its scary, but itll help)) **Developer response:** Thank you for this awesome review! So glad you've had a good experience and that you get the model. It means a lot to read reviews like this and know that folks have found Give Us The Floor to be helpful! ### 4/5 — Very cool and good! *2024-06-12* I’ve been in three groups so far(the first two dissolved, I think the main person who moderated the chat left) and they’ve all been really friendly! It’s all really supportive and hype. ### 2/5 — My experience *2024-06-12, version 1.4.2* It's helped me a little but I feel has done more harm, I do believe it's because of something that happened to me personally and it's very likely it won't happen to anyone else ### 5/5 — Amazing and highly recommended *2024-06-12* This app is amazing. It is a great way for teens connect with other teens without actually knowing them in person but as you grow in the app, you get to know them and you become friends with them. I think it’s great that we can connect with other teams as I have been using this app for a month or so now I’ve loved it so far and I hope if you download it I hope you love it too. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2024-05-08, version 1.4.2* Bad app ### 1/5 — unprofessional and has stupid rules. *2024-04-30* i asked the staff if the facilitators were adults and why they were monitoring group chats of teens on an app made to discuss our private issues and they responded very passive aggressively saying “again, its to protect you” not even answering my question and not even specifying how it “protects” you. theres a very stupid rule about not being able to talk to group members one on one, but what if someone trusts one person over others and wants to talk to that person rather than pour their heart out to 20 people. i got removed from my group for being “disrespectful” to my facilitator, when i was only standing up for myself and other members as they were being disrespectful towards us. the staff member said we can’t one on one chat with one another because they cant monitor our texts, first of all, our conversations are our business, second of all, if you want to monitor our stuff, make a one on one chat feature IN THE APP. ## Frequently asked questions about Give Us The Floor ### What is Give Us The Floor?
