### 4/5 — Suspended

*2023-10-24, version 2.6*

I love this so much app and has been a great outlet and a place to get advice. I was playing around and accidentally changed my age and now it says that I’m suspended and to contact an administrator. I see that this happened to someone else and I don’t know what to do.

### 5/5 — A great resource

*2023-03-13, version 2.3*

This app is a super helpful resource for anyone and everyone. It’s great to be able to talk and know someone is there who listens and cares. It’s anonymous which is really nice. The advisors have resources they can direct you to if you need them, and are there to help

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2022-08-17, version 2.3*

I wish I found this app sooner. The advisors are so nice and really care about what you have to say.

### 2/5 — Timed out?

*2022-08-09, version 2.3*

I loved this app! I was having such a good conversation that was really needed and when I go to check the app, it crashes basically. It tells me the “section timed out” but I didn’t think much of it. (Mind you, I have good working internet.) so I go to log in again and when I enter the 4-digit code and press the button to continue, it loads and doesn’t work. So I close out of it and open it and even delete it with time in between and nothing was working, can someone fix something!

### 3/5 — I like it but

*2022-07-25, version 2.3*

I tried posting about my parents and my struggles with them, but it wouldn’t let me post because I was violating the rules, but I didn’t curse or anything, I tried re-wording and nothing worked. I don’t understand what I did wrong.

### 3/5 — Good but could be better

*2022-07-21, version 2.3*

I really like the idea of this app, but I think that putting a thing where the teens can interact with eachother would be better because the teens who have the same experiences as others can bond and give eachother advice one on one of that makes sense and not just the app people. Also the layout is supper confusing 😭

### 5/5 — ty

*2022-07-17, version 2.3*

i have trouble being open with the people around me, this app really helps when you feel like you can’t talk to anyone else.

### 5/5 — Great app for teens

*2022-05-23, version 2.2*

This is a great app for teens who struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts to name a few but this is not a hotline help app however if you need one you can find one on online but it does ask for your age your phone number(if you have one) but you do not need a google account for this; but however the user  interface is hard to nagivate but wish it was easier but no complaints! It takes a lot of hardwork to make it look clean and easy to use but other than that it’s a great app for teens who are sturggling with things 
-r

### 1/5 — I dont even know

*2022-05-16, version 2.2*

It wont let me comment anything post anything and keeps telling me session time out

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2022-04-15, version 2.2*

I genuinely love this app so much this was the first time I used it and I promise I'm not a bot 😭 but it helped me realize so many things about myself and it's a safe place for me! thank you for creating it, it's very professional and I can definitely see myself using this more in the future if I ever need to talk!
