Ratings and reviews

This app worked great for the first day I had it. Now all I get is a notification that says "could not connect to server, please check connection" whenever I open it. inconveniently this started happening RIGHT before my scheduled appointment I already paid for. It's not my phone, every other app works fine. I've tried without wifi, disabling ad blocks, reinstalling it etc and nothing has worked. It's extremely frustrating and disappointing considering I just spent nearly $300 to use this app.

Awful Experience for the price. The software is glitchy, both on the laptop and on the phone app. The app would shut down randomly during sessions. One of the class facilitators attacked people personally in a session. I was given one week refund after paying for four weeks and only getting one session. The first week they couldn't find anyone avl, and when they finally did, the therapist was a no show. When I reached out to her, she said Betterhelp never told her about the meeting.

Worst experience. Regularly charged and overcharged for sessions that don't happen because the app is faulty. Impossible to get in touch with customer service or get refunded for sessions I was logged in for. I can't even reschedule the sessions I'm logged in for when my therapist can't get the app to call me. If you actually are looking for help this is not the correct avenue to find it.
