### 2/5 — Daily journal in-op

*2025-10-03*

Not sure what happened with the daily journal.  When I do my entry and submit it, it never saves. The submit button grays out and that’s it. It’s been that way for at least a couple weeks, maybe a month.

### 2/5 — Not working

*2020-05-21*

I get a push notification that someone wants to talk, and then when I enter the app, I get “oops something went wrong”

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2020-04-05*

This is a great place for anyone who is in need of an ear. Sometimes that’s all it takes to de escalate a situation and save a life. Thank you for this.

### 3/5 — We all didn’t go to a Service Academy

*2020-03-18*

Why isn’t there an option for OCS or PISC/SD MCRD? Thank you for developing this app. But why aren’t there options to choose more than one MOS? Plus choosing multiple campaigns. Why not allow more choices in the profile? Also, I’m a retired veteran. But there’s nothing close in the selection to identify myself as that. I chose veteran family. Not close, but I’m not any of the above. I don’t want to come off as somebody I’m not.

### 1/5 — Totally Unqualified

*2019-09-14*

I started a conversation with Becky about how hard it is to be a mom of a child with oppositional defiant disorder as a 100% service connected disabled Marine. Within a few minutes, her only suggestion was admitting myself to a mental facility. She added more difficulty to the situation rather than just being a supportive listener. I would never recommend, in fact, I will share this experience with other veterans I know so they won’t get bad advice and feel let down during a crisis.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2019-06-15*

I would love to see this app automatically adjust to landscape.  I use my iPad Pro, and currently, I have to unplug everything and put it on portrait....it’s really a pain.  Even on my phone, it would be nice to have it automatically change based on which way I am holding the phone or iPad.

### 5/5 — Great concept / movement

*2018-06-09*

This app supports the effort to help those in need and provides an intuitive interface for a noble cause.  Great work.
