Ratings and reviews

An amazing app. I like to use it as a dairy of sorts. I enjoy the ability to add your input to other people problems or just the ability to relate to others. I've noticed my mental health improving sue to this app and I'm elated about it. One thing I noticed about the app is that it gives me two notifications for the same post. So when my reply goes live it notifies me twice and the same happens with likes. I'm not sure how to fix this problem and why it's even occurring

It's a great app to get anonymous input from others, or just vent your feelings without having to worry about over sharing. Although it's good for its purpose, it takes 15-20 mins to get your replies through the reviewing process (while I understand why it's necessary to have one). At times, the 'Post' button doesn't work, and the only way to get it working is to delete your reply and re-write it, so, as many people using the app are vulnerable and need help as soon as possible, this isn't fab.

This app is truly amazing. It is completely anonymous and allows you to talk to others and get advice from others and is a great support system. This app has truly helped me with my mental health and I believe that more schools should be aware as it could benefit their students mental health greatly. If you're struggling with mental health and you need help but don't have anyone to talk to I completely reccomend this app. It has helped me a lot and it can help you too.
