Ratings and reviews

This app is wonderful. My only problem is purely technical. Ever since a few days ago, the app doesn't shrink to accomodate my keyboard and it doesn't sit above my navigation buttons, so when I write, I can't read what I'm writing and I cannot send what I write bc my send button is underneath my navigation buttons unless I change my navigation bar settings to just use gestures. Please fix this because I love using this app and having to switch back and forth makes it hard to use the app. :(

I love the website, but the app is just super spotty. Anytime I try to connect with a listener, I'm told none are available, and Noni (the chat not) asks the same questions over and over, then my answer from the first time automatically fills in and the chat freezes. Not really sure what I'm doing wrong. Will probably just stick with the site honestly.

Used to be great but about a year or 2 ago, I had to uninstall it and switch to using the desktop site. I'm glad I had a laptop by then otherwise I would have had no access to online therapy. It became unusable - It would lag while I typed messages to my therapist so badly that letters stopped appearing and words showed up in quick bursts, then the app would just completely crash. I decided it had been a while, and downloaded it again to give it another shot. Same issue. Clearly devs don't care.
