Ratings and reviews

Well it has potential to help you, at first it's so overwhelming with options and little explanation of what they are, also the app is buggy. It'll freeze not let me use the back button ect (trust me its not my phone). Plus there's no way to go "back" through your path. So if you found a specific exercise ti be helpful make sure you remember it or write it down because your can't repeat it! Also, mine keeps jumping around saying i finished something wont let me see what I completed so I'm not sure I did it, even though I'm pretty sure I didn't. The chat option is easy enough and straight forward, except when chatting with the bot, she kept talking about something that had nothing to do with my original concern. These issues are what's preventing me from using the paid option.

This app is clunky and unpredictable. The text jumps around and changes as you scroll sometimes. The interface has menus that open on the left and on the right and can get stuck when you try to switch back. There is not a way to contact tech support within the app. The service concept is great, but the software is cartoonish, bulky, and unpredictable. I would suggest focusing less on making it pretty and more on making it reliable.

I only have one complaint. The app is kind of buggy and it lags a lot (for example, I can't switch between my Listener and Member accounts on the app). Other than that, it is a helpful app with a ton of resources for different kinds of problems. I would love to give this app a perfect review, because it is certainly helpful, but the app does need some fixing. Nonetheless, it's a wonderful app with many resources and help at your disposal at any time. I am definitely glad I found it.

What's new

The forum has been revamped and is now easier to navigate! The structure now mirrors the website where forums sit within categories and topics have replaced sub-forums. There are also many new forums for topics like ADHD, work stress, poetry and games! We’ve also fixed the bug in groups that caused the messages to sometimes jump. Squashed some other bugs too in the feed and in notifications.
