Ratings and reviews

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.

The growth path is helpful, but everything else is 50-50. It all depends. Sometimes it can get difficult to navigate and confusing. It asked if I wanted to become a listener and this is how it went: Signed up to become a listener > It gave me the choice to pick between the listener account or my member account > I pressed the listener button > it looped around back to the sign up page. I tried it again but pressed on "member" and it did the same thing. I can't find the training anywhere as well.

The app itself needs major work, it gets frozen on the side panels, I wish there was a way to delete whole conversations like you would text messages so I didnt have to keep seeing the like welcome team messages. Honestly this app made me wish I just paid a therapist because the whole listener thing just made me feel worse half the time, I would start a chat with someone and they would instantly become unavailable or I would send two messages back and forth with them and they would become unavailable and it made me feel like why am I trying no one wants to talk to me anyway.
