Ratings and reviews

I like the idea of this app, and so far it's been nice to be able to get out my feelings, but the layout of the app sucks. Trying to type with my text coach is near impossible because there's this attachments and microphone icon over the first 10 or so characters in the chat screen that you can't make go away so for the first chunk of what you're typing you can't see half the words and have to hope you typed it correctly. Plus I hate that hitting enter sends my message.

app is glitchy and theres no way to turn on notifications. 🥲 coach is nice, tho. edit: after using this for a few weeks, it has a lot of issues. you have to scroll to the bottom of the chat every time. uploading a pic will cause the send button to move off screen. no notifications. like simple tweaks of the app would make it so much better. unfortunately, the web site is glitchy too lol cant win.

On the EAP Supportlinc site, they advertise this as "text THERAPY" in several places, which is false. This is not therapy, these are not therapists, and even the term "coach" is a little misleading. If you don't actually need any mental health services and are very high functioning but just maybe need some tips and motivational images and don't want to sift through the Google results yourself, this service is probably very useful. They'll copy and paste a bunch of links at once for you.
