User reviews

Great resource

Toucan is such a great resource for peer to peer, affordable therapy. It’s nice talking to someone anonymously who can relate, either as the listener or speaker. Highly recommended!

Permission to just talk

I recently had my first huddle to talk through some anxiety I’ve been feeling at this stage of the pandemic. Honestly, I can’t explain it. I could talk to my girlfriends about pandemic anxiety, but we are all exhausted and I don’t want to bother anyone. Knowing there was a willing listener kind of gave me permission to just say what I feel.

Advice and an ear when in a pinch

As a new mom in a pandemic I needed some support from someone who was either currently going through the same thing or already had. Toucan matched me with a great partner who was able to empathize with my situation. It was super helpful.

Love the idea

I love the idea around this app- people coming together to support each other without judgement. I just can’t give it five stars only because of the cost for speaking. $5 for a 15 minute conversation with a stranger? I could understand a $1, but $5? I also wish the conversations were 20 minutes instead of 15. I love listening and will continue to do that. I hope as the app gets more popular the price will come down so I can afford speaking more, until then I will continue to listen, like I said I love that and I love the idea around the app.

Most helpful app during quaratine

Easy to use and easy to schedule. Getting the opportunity to share what is on my mind has been so helpful. Having The chance to say things out loud has helped me process my thoughts. I like having the topics to stay focused. I also appreciate that the listener knows ahead of time what to expect. This time at home has been difficult and I’m grateful to have this app!
