Somethings for Teens User Reviews

Top reviews

not 5 stars, but actually 2 stars

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.

I love this app!

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!

Odd

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?

What’s a campaign code

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

Amazing app, great mentors, but just one suggestion

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?

Response from developer

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 🫶

Not Available Where I Live

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.

Response from developer

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 🫶

Just stupid

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

LOVE THIS

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.

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.

(extremely recent user) just a suggestion…

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. 🪷

Response from developer

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 💙

can’t get it

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

Somewhat wonderful

Noah is a great mentor I found out on this app on TikTok. I lied about my age on the app and said I was 15. Yes this app is 13+ but that shouldn’t stop me from talking to a mentor younger younger children need help and support. I am asking you to you as in the owners to lower the age limit

Response from developer

So glad you found Noah + had a good experience (he's the best!) 🫶💙 And tysm for sharing this, we def get that younger kids need support too. For safety reasons the app is 13+ only, but we’re always working w/ the state + health partners to make sure we’re serving teens the right way. Appreciate you caring enough to leave this 💛

LIFECHANGING

Something’s is such an amazing app. Been super busy so I haven’t been able to use it a ton, but always been a outlet when needed. AND COMPLETELY FREE? HELLO? One thing, I do wish you could see like a list of mentors you could choose from, but everything else is spot. On.

KEEP THIS APP ALIVE ITS SO HELPFUL

Omg this made our whole day 😭💙 so happy Somethings has been there for you even when life’s busy. As for seeing a list of mentors, love that idea… we’re actually exploring versions of that in app 🙌

Bug..??

I really do enjoy this app, my mentor is really sweet and it’s helpful but lately I’ve had an issue. I’ll take it as a bug in the app because my phone is fine and every other app loads. I still get notifications fine, but when I try to open the app it won’t load and gets stuck on the screen when you first click the app!! Again, I would think it’s me but since everything else is fine it’s probably the app.

Response from developer

Ahh we hear you 😭💙 that loading bug is so annoying omg. Your phone is totally fine. Our team did fix it in the latest version so make sure you have the most recent update! You can now get back to your mentor without the app freezing on you. Thx for sticking w/ us!! 📲✨

FIX THIX APP

Honestly im so upset. I made a review that this app never works and my mentor is amazing. Now it neverworks and I cant talk to her!!!!!!!!!! Stop making it worse!!!!!!

Super accessible with Voiceover screenreader and I love the concept!

This is a great app and the quiz is pretty cool! I love the video thing when you first open the app, it makes me feel really welcomed! The phone number option made it easy to sign up! One suggestion though, could you make the "What is your state part more accessible to where it is in a drop-down box or list format? The search button doesn't seem to be working very well either.

Thank you soooo much!!

so happy it felt welcoming + worked with VoiceOver!! 🫶 we'll def look into the state picker + search bar... thank you for the love + feedback!! 💙

Love it but im from OH

got an ad for this on tiktok while i was on vacation on NC. Didn’t realize this was only for people in NC.. please make this available in Ohio

Response from developer

We’re only live in NC for now through our partnership w/ the Dept of Health but Ohio’s on our list so stay tuned… we got u soon 🤞💫

Best app

Really helpful

Update

Hey so the update won’t let me back on the app… and I miss my mentor!!!!

Literally free therapy

I just got it yesterday and started using it today, but it is AWESOME, my mentor is the best, and the short quiz you complete when you just download the app works GREAT! There are a few minor uncomfortable details like the fact that each mentor has up to 35 kids makes it a bit harder to get feedback since they often have to leave to respond to others, but it’s not so bad. There are a few uncomfortable factors in the messaging like the fact that you can only respond to a message once and the set up when you edit a message; there isn’t y really a button to like submit the edited version? So you just have to click all over the screen hoping it submits itself magically… I still love the app and will probably never leave it, although it is my first day using it I know I will stay and recommend it to many people!!!!
