### 5/5 — not 5 stars, but actually 2 stars

*2026-06-14*

i remember downloading this app before months ago and deleting it, but i saw another ad for it and decided to try again. It told me that my insurance doesnt support it, just from me entering my phone number?? i dont have insurance anyway, but why would it need insurance if its 100% free like the ads say? i say thats false advertisement right there. however, i did join the waitlist and im hoping this issue gets fixed because i really wanna try it out.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-06-11*

I just recently got this app, and it has been so helpful! the mentors are so sweet, and you can talk to them about anything, and i love that!

### 3/5 — Odd

*2026-05-16*

So, at the start I really loved this app, and my mentor and I hit it off. He had to eventually leave because of personal reasons, so I was trying to rematch with other mentors. Every. Single. One. of them sounds like my old mentor, so I am extremely weirded out. Can someone explain please?

### 1/5 — What’s a campaign code

*2026-03-16, version 4.3.0*

I saw an ad for this on TikTok and I was like oh this might actually be a good investment of my time because I feel left out all the time and sometimes my mental health isn’t great and then I was making an account and it asked me for a code I didn’t know I needed and now I can’t make an account

### 4/5 — Amazing app, great mentors, but just one suggestion

*2026-03-13*

Alright so great app, my mentors a really nice guy, but I have one suggestion: could you make it so whenever I’m off app and I click on a notification, the app doesn’t reload and I can see the messages instantly, especially if I just closed the app a minute or two earlier?

**Developer response:** so glad you’re liking the app + your mentor. and yes totally hear you on notifications - tapping one should take you straight in. sharing this with the team 🫶

### 4/5 — Not Available Where I Live

*2026-02-04*

I love the app and I wish I could use it! But unfortunately I live in a state that it’s not available in! I do wish it was available to all 50 states.

**Developer response:** ugh we wish it was in all 50 states too 😭💛

we’re expanding state by state as fast as we can, and reading this honestly makes us want to move even faster.

thank you for the love - we hope to be in your state soon 🫶

### 1/5 — Just stupid

*2026-01-26, version 4.0.0*

I UNDERSTAND that it’s for teens but anyone near a teen apparently doesn’t matter and I guess mental health has a age limit which is bs and honestly just makes me so mad

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS

*2026-01-15*

this app is literally so amazing. i personally think all teens should have this because it genuinely helps so much. having a mentor is such a helpful thing because you can talk to them about literally everything. parents if you feel your kids need a little extra support (which is totally normal) definitely download this for them. its a great way for them to be able to talk about things that they may mot be comfortable sharing with a parent. i LOVE this app sm. its literally like having an older sibling. you can rant, get advice or in general just chat. 100% recommend for all teens.

**Developer response:** STOP this just made our day 😭🫶

“like having an older sibling” is exactly the vibe we’re going for.

so glad you’re here and that your mentor’s been that space for you 💙 seriously means everything.

### 5/5 — (extremely recent user) just a suggestion…

*2025-12-25*

Overall, I can get into the app just fine. I just have a small suggestion. I needed to edit my account, to rematch with a mentor, but I was not able to do so, so I kind of deactivated the account and tried to create a new one. All of that to figure out I couldn’t and it let me sign back in with a different mentor who messaged me. I don’t know what the mentor is like since I’m totally new, but I thought that it would be lovely to let teens or those who aren’t mentors for ‘Somethings’ create personal profiles just like the mentors do as well as being able to go back and edit, I think that is probably the point of the questions for matching, but it’d be pretty dope to have that as well as being able to choose our own mentors, because when you swap through a lot of them it chooses the same few people again and again until you choose between those few (2-3 people, I mean). I think I’ll love the app, either way. 🪷

**Developer response:** thank you for the 5 stars 🫶 this is such good feedback.

you def shouldn’t have to deactivate just to rematch — we’re working on making profile edits + mentor swaps way smoother.

also love the idea of teen profiles + more mentor variety. noted 👀

so glad you’re here 💙

### 2/5 — can’t get it

*2025-12-12, version 3.19.0*

so i have not been able to log in for 3 weeks now, it just stays on the loading screen forever and i’ve tried and reach out to somethings and have not heard anything back
