How to sign up??

I was happy to find this app at first cause it reminded me of Sayana (an app where u can vent to anonymous people). However the app got taken down. The only problem is is that idk how to sign up?? I don’t feel comfortable putting a school email? Why can’t I just put my own personal email? Based on seeing the demo board all I see is comments from 3 years ago? It makes me think the app is dead unfortunately:/ There is so much potential tooooo

Lawsuit waiting to happen

I wish I could give zero stars. I totally support open conversation about mental health and as someone who has experienced a fair amount of it, I like seeing people share in those experiences. What I dislike about this app is the total lack of mediating of advice giving. People are totally unqualified to be giving advice here, to sometimes very serious problems. I think if people could post and others could react with emojis or something, but not words, and only licensed clinicians could reply, that would be way better. But I’m guessing the app doesn’t want to spend the money on real mental health resources such as clinicians.

Can be better

Dislike layout

Good app!

I like the way unmasked can be used to build an anonymous support system. I have friends and an in person supper system, however it’s nice to also get support from anonymous peers as well.

great resource!!!!!

i downloaded this app kind of on a whim assuming that i would never use it but it’s great. i don’t have notifications on but i remember it every time i get sad. it is really nice to share your thoughts and feelings and get responses from people that feel so unconditional and really constructive/helpful. it is nice to know that other people are feeling the same way during the pandemic, school, and in general. it is also nice to be able to support people the best you can through a comment, a tip, some advice, a message, or just some recognition of their emotions so they know they’re not alone. i also feel very safe since it is all anonymous. it’s really great that you can pick your school too so you know it’s your peers and you feel more connected.

This community is pure gold.

I wish everyone had access to this app and the opportunity to use it daily. Not gonna lie, when I first heard about it, I wasn’t interested. I was scared that the administration would see my data and didn’t want to use my phone any more than absolutely necessary.

As I learned more about this revolutionary mental health movement, however, the more I started to see the value in having a supportive, anonymous community comprised of my peers. This app has renewed my faith in humanity more times than I can keep count of. It has given me perspective on the struggles that others are going through. Moreover, it’s been a tool for self-reflection and an empowering avenue for me to tangibly support others.

The connections I’ve made with other users are so meaningful because I know they are students who dwell on the same campus as me. But more importantly, the conversations and posts on the app are so human because people can be radically honest about their lives.

Thank you for creating this. The world is a better place because of this community.

Uplifting, supportive, brings out the best in people

No matter how vulnerable I am on this app, fellow users are only ever kind, encouraging, and accepting. In a digital world full of trolls and bullies, Unmasked’s positivity remains unrivaled. A model for future social media apps and mental health initiatives alike. And well-designed and moderated to boot!!

helps me feel less alone

the anonymity of the app makes me feel comfortable to share things openly especially when i’m dealing with things weighing heavily on my mental health. it’s nice to know that there’s a community I can share those thoughts and feelings with without judgment.

Such a helpful resource!!!

This app has not only allowed me to seek advice and support from my peers, but it has most definitely strengthened the community at my school that was disconnected for so long

a great outlet and resource

i never thought i’d need the comfort of anonymity to get a lot of things off my chest but this app is an amazing outlet full of supportive people and a great way to find mental health resources!!! strongly suggest everyone check it out

Amazing app

Just what UW needs!ā¤ļø

Impressed!

I am not one to usually publicly review things, but I feel like I need to express my gratitude for this app. I still can’t believe the outpouring of support and kindness I’ve witnessed while being a user on this app. People are being vulnerable and raw which can obviously be so scary, but the responses to those sometimes un-talked about topics have been so empathetic, which is definitely helped by the anonymity of the users. The insight and tone of the majority of the posts/comments honestly give me hope for our generation. Thank you to all those users and supporters for making such a welcoming, healthy environment!

so easy and helpful

whenever i need advice, unmasked. whenever i’m down and don’t feel like i can talk to my friends about it, unmasked. when you don’t wanna wear the mask, unmasked. ha ha . anyways it’s a really great app that makes u feel less lonely. or u can use it for everyday advice.

So helpful

This app is so helpful in making me feel supported by my peers at school and apart of a community who understand and can relate to my struggles, it’s such a helpful resource to connect with others as well and I’m so grateful for it.

Everyone needs this app rn!!!

Such an amazing, supportive space. Its positivity really energizes me. 10/10 would recommend !!!

Helpful for me and the community

This app has been a great place for me to share my anxieties and/or random thoughts or questions when I don’t want to be a burden to my friends. I also feel like I’m genuinely helping the community by connecting with other users by commenting on their posts and messaging them with resources and support, whatever they need.

I hope this grows

I always have felt we needed something like this on campus. Between the things I tell my friends and the point I need professional help, there is this serious gap in mental health resources and this might just be the solution. Knowing it’s members of my campus and community makes it relatable so I don’t feel alone while keeping it anonymous helps me feel better about being vulnerable/honest. I hope every college campus gets access to this incredible resource in the future

Absolutely incredible

An amazing platform to truly be yourself, completely unmasked. I’ve made so many connections through this app! Going to a big school can be overwhelming at times, but having a place to vent and connect with others who are going through something similar is so important and this app is exactly that. Download— you won’t regret!!

Great for mental health!

It’s been amazing being able to talk to people anonymously. Everyone has been very constructive and uplifting! There have been very productive conversations! This app helped me be more open and happy :)

a surprisingly good way to vent

I never thought of myself as someone who uses one of these mental health apps, but ever since it was introduced to my school, I checked it out, and it’s been really stress relieving. Being able to vent about how you feel in an anonymous environment is really nice
