### 1/5 — Waste of Time & Money (no refunds)

*2023-05-02*

There’s only two advisors shown and both have very generic almost A.I. generated looking photos. You’re only allowed one question that has a very limited word count. I met the limit but my question was constantly rejected for character count. I decided to ask for a refund of my $2.99 and was told they don’t provide refunds.

### 1/5 — Hidden charges

*2022-09-12, version 2.2*

£2.99 PER MESSAGE?? completely ripping off vulnerable people in need of an ear! It’s disgusting that you are charging this. Why not do an initial charge and create a forum for people to chat?? It’s not hard

### 1/5 — Took my money but left me with no messages

*2020-06-06, version 2.2*

Didn’t work for me, failed numerous attempts to buy messages but charged me anyway!

### 4/5 — Psychic readers

*2016-07-27*

My bestie loves this app because they are very accurate and polite.

### 5/5 — The best agony aunts

*2015-11-18, version 2.0.2*

They are bunch of best agony aunts you will find anywhere. I found them to be true, honest compassionate and good listeners. I always received advice which brought me relief.

### 5/5 — Caring and compassionate aunts

*2015-11-14, version 2.0.2*

I suffer with panic attacks and anxiety. I chatted with Jen and she was very supportive during chat. Thanks to her counselling I fee so relieved now. She is a true gem.

### 4/5 — Experienced and qualified agony aunts

*2015-11-12, version 2.0.2*

I chatted with two aunts and found them experienced, they understood my problems and offered me professional advice. I need My Favourite option so that I can add my favourite aunts into this for quick access.

### 4/5 — One of the best app in it's category

*2015-11-08, version 2.0.2*

Had a chat with lovely agony aunt, I talked my hear out. She was professional and helped me to come out of tough time. Easy to use simple app I've just one comment that it would be better if you let me see my messages and purchases.

### 5/5 — A real gem, must have apps for those who feel lost and need help

*2015-11-04, version 2.0.2*

Even though relatively unknown, this app proved to be a real life saver for me. I recently recovered from long ilness and was feeling depressed I really needed to talk to someone who could help me out. Found this app from search and instantly connected to lovely aunt who helped me a lot. Could you please add live video chat? It will make this app come alive.

### 5/5 — Finally someone I can chat in confidence

*2015-10-29, version 2.0.2*

There is always a time in your life when you need to talk to someone in confidence and this app is exactly what I needed. Connected to lovely aunt and kept on chatting for hours and made a new friend too. My request is to allow purchasing more messages in one go may be £50 so that I don't need to top up all the time. I'm big chatter you see.
