### 2/5 — Avoid if blind

*2026-03-13, version 2.5.0*

OK so I haven't even been on this app for 10 minutes, and I'm already wanting to close my account, the accessibility and VoiceOver compatibility with this app is awful. And that's all I can say really because I have not been on here for a very long

### 4/5 — Highly recommend but have some suggestions

*2026-01-31, version 2.5.0*

This is a really good app. It’s really helped me with family issues and disorders that I have been suffering from. I highly recommend.
However there are a few things that I hope the makers of this app will look into to improve this app better. Such as changing the word count from 350 to something higher like 500 or 600. I understand in the app, it tells us the reason for it being 350 is to make sure with focus on the main bits of our post, but sometimes even if we’re just focusing on the main bits, we still run out of room. Another thing I’d like to add is the option to follow people or at least be able to click on their profile to see their previous posts. I like to connect to people on this app and I think it would be great to follow them or see their previous posts!
Thank you for helping people with this app, and I hope you consider my suggestions.

### 4/5 — 💪

*2025-06-29, version 2.4.0*

It’s helpful but there are a few bits that can be improved, the moderators are very lovely.

### 2/5 — upset

*2025-06-23, version 2.4.0*

i heard brilliant reviews from this app and was even recommended it by a teacher but was suprised when i could not get pass the login stage i put in my number and then had to do check on whether i was a robot i did the questions and then had to do it again ive been doing the same questions for 10 minutes even though i am not a robot then the app blocked me from trying again. furious

### 4/5 — Please add dark mode

*2025-02-25, version 2.3.5*

Very new to the app and all good so far but please my eyes hurt, add dark mode 🥲

### 3/5 — …

*2024-08-05, version 2.3.4*

When I try make a account and put the post code in it doesn’t let me I tap return like so many times.

### 5/5 — This apps amazing

*2024-07-07, version 2.3.4*

This app is amazing it provide with heaps of information to help improve your mood giving your helpline you can reach out to . It has a friendly and supportive community that are willing to lend a hand and give tips . 

This app had really help me to feel comfortable to ask for help it feel great to be able to share my struggles and ask questions.

### 5/5 — An amazing community

*2024-05-15, version 2.3.4*

An amazing app with a supportive and helpful community. The go to app if your looking for somewhere to share your feelings and worries

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-03-12, version 2.3.2*

This is my favourite app for talking about how I feel and because it’s anonymous I’m not worried about sharing anything. Thank you Tellmi!

### 5/5 — I love this app :)

*2023-11-10, version 2.3.2*

Honestly this app has been so helpful for me, I like how you can reply to other people and like there posts but also the fact it’s anonymous. 

Everyone is so lovely and kind on the app, there is also resources on the app if you need more help with things. I couldn’t recommend it enough. There is people that also feel the same give support, and I like that I can help and give support to others. 
Although it’s anonymous it feels like such a good community of people and it’s the same with the creators and moderators. 

I really do just want to say thank you for making this app and space for me and others :)

### 5/5 — App Review

*2023-09-20, version 2.3.1*

This app reveals teens’ unfiltered thoughts and feelings that are incredibly useful to professionals to help fill this knowledge gap. Professionals can learn from these spaces by reading and answering posts. It gives professionals access to thousands of teens' inner minds and anxieties without having to pry for information. If online forums like this app rise in popularity, this could be an entirely new form of therapy and research for professionals. A professional can search for any topic and view the latest posts. If a researcher wanted to know what causes adolescents' stress, he could search for stress, read all the recent posts, and put together a list of the most common reasons adolescents are stressed.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-08-10, version 2.3.1*

It’s perfect for those who want to talk about their problems with people who genuinely care and want to hear about it and people who can relate.

### 4/5 — Good

*2023-04-10, version 2.3.0*

I really like this app. It has gotten me through the tough times. But I feel like they should extend the amount of letters you can type. Other that that it is Great!

### 3/5 — ?

*2023-03-15, version 2.3.0*

It’s a good app but I can’t post or reply to anything-it just goes blank.

### 5/5 — Loving community

*2023-02-20, version 2.2.1*

Been using the app for a while now, and the community who shares this is absolutely amazing! Great advice and even form friendships anonymously haha <3 defo recommend for other young people like myself

### 1/5 — :(

*2025-10-26, version 2.5.0*

The counsellors are horrible to me and they punish neurodivergence.

### 1/5 — Offensive

*2025-09-05, version 2.4.0*

I reported someone’s post which said they wanted to “spank” someone who offended them, and a Tellmi counsellor told me the post wasn’t against the guidelines and kept it live!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-07-29, version 2.4.0*

Their website says they are a safe inclusive place for autistic people but they punished and banned me for two weeks for my c-PTSD and autistic meltdowns I’m so upset. They also let someone call me irritating and not normal for liking women’s football and it made me cry and triggered my c-PTSD loads and when I asked the moderators on the app why they let someone say rude offensive things to me they ignored me :’(

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-04-21, version 2.4.0*

Their website says they are a safe inclusive place for autistic people but they punished and banned me for two weeks for my autistic meltdowns I’m so upset :’(

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-02-19, version 2.3.5*

This app is a joke. I had several posts withheld for expressing my emotions. I don’t understand how you expect people to be supported if they aren’t allowed to say how they feel.  Wouldn’t recommend at all unless you want to be ignored.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-03-01, version 1.9.0*

Don’t allow freedom of speech to express oneself about geopolitical events..

I hope everyone sees this MeToo and your name is tarnished. De- platform / cancel me now you suckers!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-08-27, version 1.8.0*

I can’t see the replies to my post and on my account my posts don’t come up

### 1/5 — Every username taken

*2020-10-23, version 1.5.1*

Everytime I try to set this app up, it tells me the usernames I have tried are already taken so I can’t set an account up.

### 1/5 — Moderators are rubbish! And don’t even do there job

*2019-09-25, version 1.2.1*

The moderators who run this app are rubbish and don’t even do there job. They let this boy post harsh things about how he use to find bullying “fun” yet they won’t let me comment on it saying he’s a bad person & that his actions do more harm than good ! And it got withheld yet he’s allowed to post that and a lot of other things which comes across as so rude and does more harm than good to the people who need advice yet I can’t comment that I think he’s a bad person, that’s a joke. I wouldn’t recommend this app as the moderators are rubbish & the fact the moderators even commented something nice on what he posted is disgraceful 😂so they agree with what he’s saying? So wrong in many ways. Don’t get this app

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-08-04, version 1.2.1*

This app is nothing but lies. It’s full of disturbing people.

*2026-04-15, version 2.5.0*

Really good for people who can’t always talk about their situations or feelings

### 5/5 — Great, just some tweaks

### 5/5 — This is teh best app

*2025-10-21, version 2.5.0*

At first I did not trust this app at all, but after a while I started to notice that when ever I posted I started to feel a little better, if u struggle with mental health pls try this app I hope it works as well as it did for me

### 5/5 — Be saved or save others!

*2025-03-17, version 2.4.0*

You can post a vent or rant and everything is anonymous and people reply and help you! You can even help others and also block out triggering topics for you!

### 5/5 — Just amazing

*2025-03-11, version 2.4.0*

### 5/5 — It’s so sweet

*2024-12-12, version 2.3.5*

I like it very much

### 5/5 — You NEED to give it a try!

*2024-09-27, version 2.3.5*

Tellmi is absolutely phenomenal, it has helped me so much as an anonymous outlet for my deepest feelings and throughs that I wouldn’t share otherwise.

The users are incredibly kind and insightful, and it’s great that we can advise each other will provide a different outlook anonymously.

I recommend it to all of my friends IRL.

DOWNLOAD IT AND GIVE IT A TRY! <33
