But it seems that they hire people in the psychology, or life coach field. So when you called to vent and just for an ear to get things off your chest these supposed listeners can’t help but talking and providing feedback. They even go into their own stories. It’s such a let down. I have spoken with mini listeners on this app and it’s all the same. They can’t just listen. They have to go off, and give you advice, talk about themselves, etc.. they might want to think about hiring normal people and teaching them how to just validate someone and listen instead of professionals, who apparently can’t hold back providing feedback and advice. I can call any of my friends or family if I want someone to start talking about themselves instead of listening. ### 1/5 — Lola caused me to feel suicidal *2023-06-12* Naturally I was interested in this app because I’ve been having a difficult time lately and therapy hasn’t been helpful. I was surprised that when I started speaking with Lola that she felt entitled to dictate the narrative of the call by refusing to respond to me asking how her day was because according to her the call was supposed to only be about me. This was rude and defensive. Therapist typically act this way because of their profession but to have regular person act this was traumatic. I’d also like to note how this isn’t a policy of the app for listeners to act this way since yesterday another listener acted completely opposite and shared with me they were molested. There seems to be no happy (pun intended) medium on this app, either people revealing too much info and being creepy or people wanting to dictate the entire call and refusing to have a two way conversation. This app is not a safe space. There are no safe spaces in this world, only people who try to control things and judge. Wouldn’t use this app again even if they paid me. 9:02 pm After hours of not being able to have someone listen I hurt myself. Now you can’t hurt me. ### 5/5 — Thank you so much. *2023-01-30, version 1.189* Jenni was very comforting and helped me get through my day most of all she teaches me some things I could do when I’m sad I thank her so much I would love to speak to her again she maid me feel pretty again I love her so much already thank you. ### 2/5 — Having to pay for a certain amount of messages and calls *2023-01-16, version 1.189* Honestly, I’m disappointed but not surprised that this is another app that requires you to pay to get help. Profiting off of people that just want some help. I happened to look at my settings, and saw that for free, I get 15 minutes for a call, and 3 messages. If you’re someone like me who sends multiple messages for an explanation though, that’s very inconvenient. So much for finding an app that I thought could help me. ### 5/5 — My go to for support *2023-01-05, version 1.188* Hapi is my go to place for my number one support. When I had lost my dog, my listener was the best, at empathizing with me and just letting me cry with her. I cannot recommend Hapi enough! ### 5/5 — Broken Woman *2022-03-20, version 1.178* Dana was very considerate and loving she really understood my issue and gave the best advice I myself even thought of myself I’m really glad I made this call and put this app on my phone ### 5/5 — Positive and encouraging *2022-03-05, version 1.178* I was very hesitant to speak to a stranger about my personal relationship issues but after speaker to Z, I felt so much better. She listened and didn’t judge me. She gave me advice and encouragement that I needed to hear. I feel better now and even more determined to move forward with my life and heal from this heart break. I am super grateful for this conversation. Thank you ### 5/5 — I’m so happy *2022-02-19, version 1.178* JenniFourU is a great listener and she has the best advice. She has helped me so much in just one conversation and I will be speaking with to her again soon! I feel so much better than I did before the call. Thank you Jenni! 😁 ### 4/5 — It’s an okay app *2022-01-14, version 1.178* You have limited texting and calling and after that you have to purchase minutes, I might purchase minutes, it seems like a really good app besides that, talking to someone about your problems it’s better because it helps you a lot mentally. ### 2/5 — . *2021-11-28, version 1.178* So basically, i was in the middle of a conversation with christine and i was having like really bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts, and all of a sudden i just ran out of messages and i had already ran out of minutes, and i couldnt afford to buy more or like, idk if it gives you more over time but i couldnt wait if it did bc i was having like a really hard time and all of a sudden i just couldn't talk to christine anymore, so thats like a really big inconvenience 😕😕 ## Frequently asked questions about Hapi ### What is Hapi?
