### 5/5 — A life changing app for anyone with a heal condition

*2024-03-24*

For anyone with a health challenge or condition, the idea of taking medication may not appeal. often, there are other avenues that can be explored to help find solutions to stress and discomfort, to support those with health issues - and many of these are outside of the normal health channels of delivery. That's where this app steps in. All of the services have been verified by the NHS, relevant checks carried out etc.and at all times your data and anonymity is protected. I've found this app incredibly useful and I really hope eventually it might become available in other countries, as healing through grassroots organisations is a great way to support society and the body's natural ability to heal.

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2020-10-21*

I’ve been using this app since dot, and I must say after a few teething problems it’s now very good, you can access all your needs from mental health support, to fitness classes, medical support, advice, social groups, employment advice and benefit debt and housing issues and much more. A much needed app of informative information, especially in these hard times we are all going through.
