## What is Solace LGBT?

Solace is a free mobile application, currently region-locked to the USA, for transgender men, women, and individuals, as well as the parents and guardians of transgender children. Users are able to map out their transition, access credible information on how to accomplish their legal, medical, and social goals, stay informed about news that may impact their goals and rights, and track their progress.

With Solace, users can learn how to accomplish goals like updating the name and gender marker on their legal ID, coming out to friends and family, and learning what legal rights they may have (or not) in their state. For instance, if one of the user's goals is to update their legal documentation, Solace will show the steps for their state/territory, what documentation the user will need to provide, etc.

Solace also provides information on accessing gender-affirming medical services, signing up for Medicaid, and finding mental healthcare.

By providing the current information relevant to each specific goal and then allowing users to mark the task complete, Solace empowers our users to complete these tasks with confidence and see themselves moving forward through their transition in real time.

At any time, users can also browse Solace’s Discover page to see a full list of all the actions and goals (currently 1000+ in total) that Solace provides information for. If users discover something that they didn’t realize was possible for them before, they can add it to their road map at any time.

Solace is designed to allow transgender individuals to define transition on their own terms. Solace makes no suggestion as to what a ‘complete’ transition looks like, and instead is there to affirm the user and celebrate them each step of the way.

The application customizes the experience based on the user's pronouns (that can be fully editable), and state of residence to maximize the relevancy of the information and provide maximum affirmation.

Solace also provides users with ways to sequence their more complex goals that require multiple steps. Every goal is tracked against a progress bar, which can serve as a helpful reminder that you are making progress in your transition. And everyday, Solace will have a new welcome message that leverages the app’s Dynamic Language and Artificial Emotional Intelligence (AEQ).

### 4/5 — All good except news area

*2025-07-31*

Definitely helpful and a very good tool, however the news section definitely needs to be updated as the most recent news I find is from 2023

### 1/5 — MY ACCOUNT IS GONE

*2025-02-09*

Had an account for about a week and things were fine, but I tried logging in today and it’s as if my account was deleted or something. I try to make an account again but for some reason it gives me sole sort of error when I make it. Gonna stop using this app until this gets fixed

### 1/5 — Somewhat useful..but

*2024-11-17*

I found this by accident and wanted to believe it might help (those in) the community. I wasn't impressed from the start; deleted shortly after downloading.. let me tell you why ..
1. I couldn't get past the log on
2. It (seems to want to) only recognized those who might be MfF or FtM; I'm intersex .. so you can see where it would be useless for me.
3. But on a factual note - the person who noted "there's no federal document that would show a correct gender" - start applying for a passport - it gives an "X" option for gender - it might help, but other countries are not required to honor the selection. Hope this gives some a starting point. Leyla

### 1/5 — Won’t allow me to register as a new user

*2024-10-19*

I used to have this app a couple years ago, it was pretty good back then but I wasn’t in a position to be able to pursue a lot of my transition goals so I deleted it. Now I’m in a better place and wanted to use this app to help me organize my goals. BUT I can’t register as a new user because the screen that has you select your goals is bugged. It won’t show the goals at all and the app requires you to select one goal at minimum to create your account. I’ve tried deleting the app and redownloading it and closing it and coming back a few days later. The whole situation is just irritating. I don’t want to have to play email tag to get app support on an app that hasn’t even been updated in a year.

### 1/5 — Trouble getting started

*2024-10-19*

I guess there were just too many (.) in my email, so the app wouldn't let me put my "goals" .. of course it also won't allow me to go further with your registration..sad, but true.
It's sad because there are so many hurdles for us in the trans community..I'd like to think that an app "designed" for trans people would actually work. I'll never know if it was a minor issue or just a glitch with my phone, because I deleted the app. I guess I might get an email, but I'm not optimistic at this point.

### 3/5 — Help!

*2024-10-14*

I can’t use the app every time I try to login it gives me an error message so I tried making a new account but still the same thing happens!!

### 3/5 — It’s a good app that has helped in dark times, but it no longer works

*2024-09-30*

After I had come out to my parents the app stopped showing up on my iPad, and now when I find this app again it won’t let me log in or make a new account

### 4/5 — Good Intentions Needs Improvement

*2024-04-04*

Just popped in to ask can y’all update the news section? I want to come here for trans news and that’s the main reason I have the app but it hasn’t been updated in a year while a lot has been happening. It’s nice to have that little affirmation after the article of “sorry this is happening but you are loved. We are still fighting.” Tell me how we are fighting. What are we fighting against? Give me solace. Is the resources spread too tight for this app to get any attention? I’m probably going to delete it to make space bc I can google most of this easily. I’m also non-binary and I understand just allowing access to both sides but now it’s pretty cluttered. Maybe ask me some questions so you can filter out the articles that pop up?

### 5/5 — Very Informative

*2023-07-10*

Honestly this is totally informative and it makes navigating my transitioning so much easier instead of going in completely blind especially when you don’t have a support line or much support. Thanks for making it easier for all ❤️

### 3/5 — Helpful but basically advertising at this point

*2023-06-24*

I’ll start by saying this app has been helpful for me to some extent, and that’s why it’s not rated 1*. 

But seriously it’s an ad for their banking app Bliss, and in fact is being sunsetted in favor of integrating everything into Bliss. Bliss requires opening a bank account to use it, which I don’t need. I have a bank account and will not open a new one. So unfortunately once the merge happens, I’ll just stop using it.
