## What is Lost Connections App?

UNDERSTAND WHY YOU FEEL THE WAY YOU DO

If you are depressed or anxious, your pain makes sense. You’re not weak, or crazy. There is scientific evidence for nine causes of these problems - including many you might not have thought of. Once you understand how those causes are playing out in your life, it opens up a whole new set of solutions - ones that work. This app will help you identify what’s causing your depression or anxiety, and help outline practical steps to solve it.

CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WRITER & JOURNALIST JOHANN HARI

Johann Hari is an award-winning journalist and the author of three New York Times-bestselling books which explore how modern society impacts depression, addiction and attention. His books have been praised by a broad range of people, from Oprah to Elton John to the British Journal of General Practice. Together with Johann we have turned his book into an interactive course, which will help you apply lessons from the book to your life. 

FEEL MORE CONNECTED

We’re one of the loneliest societies there has ever been. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Learn how to reconnect to the world around you, starting with your values, work and relationships.

FIND PURPOSE

We all have a natural psychological need to feel that what we do makes a difference. Identify what matters to you, and use it to start leading a truly meaningful life.

PUT EXPERT ADVICE INTO ACTION

- Interactive course breaks down what Johann learned from some of the leading scientists and walks you through how to apply it to your own life;
- Answer questions and follow exercises to gain insight into your own thoughts, feelings and behaviour;

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-09-05*

I truly inspiring and refreshing way to look at self-care and reinventing the way we think about mental health! Thank you, Jonathan for this!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad the app feels inspiring and refreshing to you. Jonathan’s work continues to touch so many lives, and we’re grateful to play a part in helping people care for their mental health in a meaningful way.

### 5/5 — Like no other app…

*2024-12-09, version 1.14*

If you are having a tricky time or are persistently hard on yourself here is a really helpful resource and tool to assist you in gaining a healthier perspective, insight into where you could help yourself more in your life, and to encourage you to have a bit more empathy for yourself. This app doesn’t shout at you, it gives you gentle encouragement, and it’s been a comfort and boost for me during a difficult time. I go back to the app’s toolbox when I need reminded of how valuable it is to have connection with the people and other things that really matter in my life.

### 5/5 — Effective and simple

*2024-11-07*

This is a beautifully simple app that does exactly what it says. The book itself is a masterpiece and the app helps put its value into daily practice. It's quick and easy, but significantly changes how I approach my day or to what I look for to feel connected again.

### 1/5 — Canceled account still trying to charge

*2023-03-23*

I canceled my account. Yet still getting attempted charges. I can’t even log into the app anymore BECAUSE I canceled. I can’t find an email and apple is saying I have to let it charge my account t and then dispute. Please contact me

**Developer response:** Hi there - I'm really sorry for this! Please email us at feedback@psyt.co.uk so we can solve this for you.

### 5/5 — Lost connections

*2023-02-08*

Loved your book, mostly loved the feelings of positivity gained from your insights.  When I feel overwhelmed I want to “go big” instead of hiding in depression and hopelessness.  Thank you for your energy in this direction. Sincerely, navarre2008

**Developer response:** Hi there - thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review, we are grateful that you have been finding the app helpful!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-01-05*

Really enjoying this app!

**Developer response:** Hi there - thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review, we are grateful that you are enjoying the app!

### 4/5 — Lost Connections

*2022-12-20*

A beautiful app. I loved the founders books. I just don’t have time for the app. I do therapy, write, exercise and use the calm app. These are all helpful tools.

**Developer response:** Hi there - thank you for taking the time to leave us a kind review! If you have any suggestions for improvements or any concerns, please feel free to email us at feeback@psyt.co.uk :)

### 5/5 — This is my third attempt at posting a review for this App on the apple app site…

*2022-12-18*

I have composed two heartfelt and thoughtful reviews already for this app and submitted them. It takes a great deal of energy and effort to do so. I feel that apple is deliberately suppressing my praise as the app helps me to free myself from the addictive components of smartphone use.
If this makes it up, at this point all I can say is,  had it not been for insights and benefits of this wonderful extension of Johann Hari’s written work and Nickolas B. And the team responsible for this wonderful and positively engaging resource, I would not of had the fortitude to try and post for a third time.
This app is delivers what the Webs first users envisioned cyberspace as… A safe place where like minded people could interact, learn, grow, heal and benefit from each other’s experiences and dreams.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-12-13*

Such a refreshing and important approach to depression!

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you so much for leaving this lovely review, we are happy to hear you are enjoying the app.

### 1/5 — 48 hour trial period, not 72 hours

*2022-12-12*

Super sketchy. 
I have done trials of paid apps and never had a problem ending the free trial if the app didn’t meet my needs. 

This app said 3 days. On day 3 I went to my subscriptions to cancel but it was already listed as a purchase. I tried to cancel subscription and deleted the app. Lot and behold, I was charged for a year’s subscription when I looked at my credit card statement that had a larger than normal charge on the Apple store. I contacted apple and they gave me a refund. 

I didn’t like the app (weird, clunky interface, generally unhelpful, annoying check ins and inability to navigate within the course, locked into step by step modules). I especially didn’t like the misleading trial period. 

It’s especially egregious considering people who are clinically depressed often can’t navigate details like being charged for an app or requesting a refund. I’m in grief which has a lot of overlap with depression but I may have some better days which is how I could rectify this. 

Bad app, bad business practices. Walk away or just get the free stuff.

**Developer response:** Hi there, I'm really sorry to hear about the issues you have experienced with your trial. As you’ve said, we do offer a free trial period of 3 days, so there shouldn’t have been a problem cancelling your subscription. We would really appreciate you contacting feedback@psyt.co.uk to help us understand more about how this has happened. 
I’m sorry to hear the app hasn’t met your needs. We value and take all user feedback seriously, and I’ve passed this on to the development team.
