### 1/5 — App keeps crashing when accessing self assessments

*2024-11-05, version 4.5.0*

Crashing issues, no easily accessible contact for feedback to company for support or alternate online portal.

### 1/5 — Keeps switching between multiple notifications and updated agreement

*2024-10-28, version 4.5.0*

Unable to operate app

### 1/5 — Awful app, but good people

*2024-09-14, version 4.4.0*

There is no intuitive way to join an appointment, which should be the easiest and most basic function of the app. There are no obvious instructions to say how the appointment will work. 

Even finding upcoming appointments is harder than it should be - going through a few steps of booking a new appointment to see existing ones makes no sense at all. 

Once I eventually managed to get to my appointment, the counsellor was lovely and really helpful. A real shame that the app is a barrier, rather than a useful resource, for people trying to get the help they need.

### 1/5 — Awful app and service

*2024-07-11, version 4.3.8*

I had a video appointment booked and contacted the online chat to find out how to join as there was no video link to join or instructions. I was advised to wait on the app and a counsellor would send a link to me, which seemed bizarre. As anticipated, this didn’t happen at the appointment time. I tried to contact online chat again but realised you can’t multi task between the chat window and the schedule so I was concerned I’d miss the link if it was sent to me on the app. I phoned the helpline who eventually put me through to the counsellor, but by that point I was so frustrated I didn’t feel like talking. Utterly pointless, will be advising my employer to look for an alternative provider. The experience using the app made me feel worse rather than better.

### 1/5 — I would give this app a 0 stars if I could.

*2024-05-21, version 4.3.7*

I would give this app a 0 stars if I could. This is a meant to be a psycholical counseling app, and twice now I’ve showed up for my meeting and been told I missed it, although no one ever called me. I wasted 30 minutes, both times, waiting for my session to commence and it never did. 

The navigation is super unintuitive and when you request support via video call, the video feed cuts out. Very terrible ux, for an app that’s meant to deal with people looking to open up..

### 1/5 — Can’t Join Scheduled Appointment

*2024-04-14, version 4.3.4*

I made my first scheduled appointment for today. I couldn’t work out how to join and after trying different things over 35 minutes I have had to give up. I’ve rebooked and appointment for next weekend - hopefully it works as was very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Appointment field doesn’t work 😮‍💨

*2024-04-12, version 4.3.4*

When you login in the app, you go to the appointment field and you start the process to get an spot with a professional, and once you are in the last stage, it shows an error and doesn’t let you proceed. I give it 1 star for that.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t open

*2024-04-11, version 4.3.4*

App doesn’t open even after reinstalling several times. Not sure how I can’t use the service if I cannot access the app

### 1/5 — I can't even open the app

*2024-04-10, version 4.3.4*

The UX is sooo sooo bad. Simply unusable app

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account

*2024-01-02, version 4.3.1*

It’s nearly impossible to create an account. I entere a the required information email, password and company code but the app does not let me proceed. This should be the easies of functions so people can get the help they needed. 

If I could give it zero stars I would.

### 1/5 — Unable to get past the create account screen

*2023-12-26, version 4.3.1*

I followed all the directions for creating a password, checked carefully multiple times and had someone else check that my password contained everything it needed according to the directions on screen. It still does not allow me to create an account and has the password directions highlighted. Useless.

### 1/5 — Issues with sign up

*2023-12-19, version 4.3.1*

Creating a new password that gets past the validation is challenging. Finally got it to work by using 2 special characters in the password.

Frustrating UX. Needs improvement.

### 1/5 — Cant access

*2023-12-15, version 4.3.1*

Totally unable to create a password!!! Tried looot of times with all the rules fix that!!

### 1/5 — So far, so bad

*2023-11-16, version 4.2.1*

Crashes whenever sending a message. Sign jk process also very clunky indeed. Seems to need a major overhaul.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-11-14, version 4.2.1*

App keeps crashing. When connecting a instant message request as soon as someone has accepted it crashes. Or it just circles wishing to connect to someone for 5+ minutes until you give up.

### 1/5 — Worst Possible App

*2023-11-06, version 4.2.1*

After registration nothing works. I’ve been bumped every time I try to connect and get help. If this app is designed to help people it has failed. It will quicker drive someone to the edge of self harm than actually helping them. I should be able to give it 0 stars.

### 1/5 — App always crashes

*2023-11-02, version 4.2.1*

Every time I try and open a chat with a counsellor, the app crashes and closes.

### 1/5 — The worst app

*2023-09-19, version 4.1.3*

How is an app this bad in 2023? Each time I use it, it forgets my password and requires me to set a new password. The option to send an “instant message” directs you to an unending “loading screen.” There is no obvious way to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Beyond disappointing. This is a resource that is supposed to connect you to support, but instead it just leaves me increasingly frustrated. This is the worst app I have ever used.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No show counsellor

*2026-03-20, version 4.5.9*

My counsellor didn’t show up - I received appointment reminders from the app and was rather upset that I’d intentionally set aside time for the call only for it to be wasted time. I was looking forward to getting some counselling help… there doesn’t seem to be any function to provide feedback on such issues, please work on it developer

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-07-24, version 4.5.5*

I wasn’t able to connect with the therapist, the app is useless, not intuitive at all the instructions are unclear.

### 1/5 — Password reset loop

*2025-05-27, version 4.5.4*

Thre is a false reset password loop. I’m sure I’ve never used those new strings of password but it seems the app kept registered them as previously used. 
It's to the extent that I started typed in random number and symbols yet the app thought those were registered password?!
If the developer is actually sincere to rectify the app they would have provided the email address or contact number , not just a "call us via phone" line without contact details

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2025-03-19, version 4.5.3*

As per the other comments, completely usable. Not a good way to start EAP program with a new client

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2025-03-11, version 4.5.3*

I am keep getting message that I have multiple notifications then it goes to notifications page then says there is not any notifications when I go back to dashboard it will show the message again and won’t let me stay in the main dashboard

### 1/5 — Came here for anxiety. Left with more anxiety

*2025-03-11, version 4.5.3*

The app is stuck on a loop where it tells you that you have multiple notifications, and you can’t actually use any of the features.

### 1/5 — I can’t t use the app

*2025-03-10, version 4.5.3*

Every time i enter the app i get prompt that i have a lot of notifications but I don’t have any, and it repeats every time so i can’t read any articles, making the app inaccessible.

### 1/5 — A good app to trigger your anger!

*2025-03-01, version 4.5.3*

there is a stupid loop of you have notifications to force you to go the notification tab to see you have nothing and back. no way to access anything else.

### 1/5 — Unable to open app

*2025-02-27, version 4.5.3*

Downloaded, Deleted and Uploaded app but still it won’t open

### 1/5 — Keeps saying there are notifications

*2024-12-03, version 4.5.1*

Says I have notifications, but there are none. It won’t let me navigate because of that.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great if little awkward app

*2022-12-19, version 4.0.6*

A counselor ready to talk to me anytime and for free? Yes, please. I’m willing to go through a little app awkwardness to connect.

### 5/5 — Much better with latest update

*2022-12-08, version 4.0.5*

Lot cleaner looking

### 5/5 — Updates look great!

*2022-08-05, version 4.0.1*

I recently had this app update and connected with my EAP and had a video chat and then a video call to discuss what is going on with me.

### 5/5 — Great resource!

*2022-08-04, version 4.0.1*

This app is easy to use and provides on hand resources for all your needs! I love that I can get support with one click. Easy to use and informative.

### 5/5 — Quick access to support

*2022-08-04, version 4.0.1*

I’ve tried other apps with a similar purpose but this is by far the best. Easy to use, highly informative and great response rate

### 5/5 — It seems fine now guys?

*2022-07-12, version 4.0.0*

I’m surprised with all the bad reviews because it honestly seems to work fine now for me. No noticeable bugs and all features (that I am aware of at least) are fully functional.

### 4/5 — ZPie

*2025-03-14, version 4.5.3*

App in general is good, but only probem is when You on a video call and You switch a windows, for example to other app to check something, You are unable to back to video call anymore, You can hear a voice of person You talking to, but can see it anymore and only way to get back to the call is to person who have therapy with hang out and it will call You back, creating new call, then video is visible again :) small thing but could be improved, in general app work smoothly.

### 3/5 — Article search is limited and clunky

*2023-06-10, version 4.1.1*

Registration and login worked fine.  Tried a search for articles about stress, and came up with nothing (?) 

Tried a few more searches, and realized that the search is clunky. All the articles are grouped into categories, so you have to search for a category, then if you find one that matches your search, you must run a second search based on sub category.  

What it really needs is an open search that finds all articles with a keyword, instead of forcing a search by category

### 2/5 — Bug fixes

*2025-02-17, version 4.5.3*

App really needs improving, considering it’s a counselling app- I can’t even use it! I’ve logged in, signed up and yet it keeps coming up with a privacy notice which I accept then, saying I have new notifications (I have none since I can’t even use it) and it won’t let me use the homepage and access any of the actually facilities.

### 2/5 — Weird experience : fix tech and scripts gaps

*2023-06-23, version 4.1.1*

1. Instant messages do not support multi-tasking - if you need to quickly open another app, your conversation will be closed and you can only start a new one, possibly with a new person.

2. The counsellor asked for a lot of personal information (including DOB and phone number) just to share with me a toll-free number where I can seek further help. That felt really unnecessary.
