Wonderful community ❤️❤️

The community is wonderful and Everything is anonymous that icons to the chats to even the posts. No one can trace you back, except for yourself, and people there are wonderful. Always so supportive.

It’s free and it works

I love this app dearly. I can talk to people about my health and make new friends without worrying abt identities and all that.

I wish the creators weren’t quitting in November tho 😭

<3

At first I bought it to have a place to rant and figure stuff out. But now I also use it for fashion advice. And the people on it are great!

why are posts limited

i love that we are absolutely anonymous but i hate that you only get to post a certain amount before you have to either wait 24 hours to vent again or pay for it. it’d be so much better if we could just get everything off of our chest as much as we want, you already made a lot of things cost money, making that important feature cost money too just feels upsetting and unnecessary

Most disappointed I’ve been in a while

One star for how visually cute the app is, even just seeing the avatar’s faces on the daily affirmation notifications is charming.

One star for the concept of the app, a place where people can go with struggles and get the support of others anonymously. When my friends and family are unavailable to support me, and I cannot afford therapy, a free forum for support sounds like a dream come true!

The app does not fulfill its potential. I was shocked at the fact that I can’t join any of the seemingly hundreds of specialized support groups without paying. The cute avatars get confusing fast because there is such a small selection of them. People in the free forum are mostly just dumping confusing, as well as often deeply disturbing, thoughts and questions, about things like planning their own suicide. Even worse, none of the posts get substantive responses, usually they get no response at all. The one post I’ve made received an irrelevant, bot-like response that was maddening because it sounded like they didn’t even read what I wrote. Looking through the free forum is thus much more depressing than helpful. After that, what’s left? Even the meditation section is almost completely locked to free users, and does not feel professional.

I had been considering trying this app for over a year, and now it will be deleted after just a week :/
