Ratings and reviews

Just got it, but I'm looking forward to exploring more! So far I enjoy the calming feel, quotes, and access to articles. The "self care" tab is nice, I I'll definitely use it. I'm excited to explore the "get involved" tab too. I'm happy there isn't a pay wall! Only crit I'd have; I wish there was a bit of a guided "tutorial" type thing when you first get it. I can explore it myself, it's easy to navigate, but I feel like that would ease me into it and encourage me to get comfortable quicker.

This app is such a great and resourceful app. I forgot this app existed until I used Propeller and re-downloaded it. I absolutely love that it has helpful articles related to all kinds of mental illnesses to assist you with your health care journey. Sometimes, it isn't easy talking to someone, so having this as a resource to track your emotions and manage your feelings better is ideal. I also love that it has a section for finding help, so if you were in a dire situation, HELP IS THERE.

This is such a great app! The accessibility of it makes daily journaling a breeze and easy to track. The prompts range from easy listing to thought provoking. I struggle a lot with mental illness and this app allows me to take a small amount of time each day to take a step back and reflect on why I'm still here and why I've kept going.
